![Crying or Very sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)
I can't get into all the past years of physical, emotional troubles but it's had its toll and now this year I've back trouble, weekly chiro visits, a lot of pain, very limited to what I can do although I do still 'DO' in spite of it, it's hard to quit when I AM a mother and wife. Plus still recovering from thyroid issues. I just can't handle a lot mentally either which carries over into my choices for curriculum- I look for things they can totally do on their own, I'm there for help of course but very limited. Exception for the youngest. We have 4 children. Public school has at times looked tempting but no, it's not an option. I have no support near, family, friends etc. Church families do mostly textbooks, I don't. My husbands family consists of 2 Aunts, the youngest- 70 caring for the older-80's and his dad-78. My family is all in Ohio. There is a church school there and that is a consideration but would mean a long distant move, husband quiting job, etc. It looks so big! And a big change for the children. It's like a totally different culture back there, from the mid-west, SD to be exact. I'm originally from PA but have learned to like some things out here after all
