    Thankyou for this posting. Those quotes are great! Very encouraging too, for the days when being ‘normal’ seems so much easier and tempting.

      I’m so glad you have been encouraged. Normal — it is both elusive and tempting! I wasn’t normal before we chose homeschooling. And yet I look at the school bus with longing some days.

    Thank you. I needed this today. My son has declared that he wants to go school and “be normal”… He will not be getting his wish, but I feel as if I have been punched in the stomach. Thank you, again, for reminding me that I am not alone.
    May God BLESS you and your precious family.
