My Maggie was sent to Prison, I mean Preschool...

Everyone knows I homeschool, everyone knows I am pregnant with our 5th child AND everyone knows I am on bed rest for the next 9 weeks, right? Right.

Okay, so preschool is rocking my world! I thought it was tough to homeschool 2 middle schoolers, well, that is a piece of cake compared to the planning, purchasing and hands on work required to teach a preschooler. I may have a better attitude or outlook if I wasn't confined to bed rest right now and unable to purchase supplies and do all the fun preschool activities I had planned...

So, I have been talking to Craig and sharing my concerns about not being available to teach Maggie like I had planned to this and year and the possibility of looking into sending her to preschool. Well, I quickly found a sensitive spot in my husband! He understood my concerns, but was not on board for preschool, at all! He thought it was sad to send only Maggie to preschool while everyone else stays home (maybe if he stayed home and home schooled he would understand why she is the only one needing to get sent away, ha!). Well, I found an opening at a great preschool! Apparently there have been parents that camp out to get a spot in this place and they just happened to have an opening! It was providential!!

I called Craig and had him stop by and get the paperwork and every so reluctantly he did. Then he called and said "I am on my way home, I stopped by the prison, I mean preschool and got your papers." Daddy seems to be suffering from separation anxiety, why am I just fine, ha!!

Well, we decided for now, to get her through this year and have special time for just her, we would send her (Craig is okay, but still very sensitive about the subject). It all happened so fast too! I turned in the paperwork and she started this afternoon!!

I haven't mentioned how Maggie felt about all of this, so I thought I would just show you the picture of her waiting to go into her class for the first time...
