disrupted dreams

Somehow, I still find myself saying to people who ask about future education for my children, “I think I might homeschool.” My son is nearly five. Kindergarten approaches. We’ve joined a local co-op. I’ve ordered curriculum. I’ve read a few books on homeschooling and have several more waiting on the shelf. I’m not thinking about homeschooling; I’m deep in the midst of planning for it, and yet I struggle to say the words out loud.
