Thanks for the encouragement ladies.  Laura I actually have been on tour website a few times.  I am always in awe and feel challenged to do more but have failed to follow through doing more than the basics.  I will peruse through again and set up a plan.  Thanks!

Very interesting.   I am going to take a look at this.  Honestly at first I felt somewhat hesitant thinking this book might just be a " whatever your mind can conceive you can achieve" psychology book.  But appropriate praise certainly is a good thing.  Thanks for the info

My phone autocorrected my word "homeschooling" ...to homeschoolinganddownsyndrome.   It should have just said I am homeschooling six children.   I am also accessing this on a smartphone which typically messes up my messages.  Hope you can make sense of it all

I am a homeschooling mother of eleven.  Our littlest blessing is two years old as of Dec.  She has Down syndrome.  She is absolutely precious.  We adore her.  But Iam a bit overwhelmed at times when I think of all the things I could/should be doing with her. She does get PT, OT, speech and a special ed teacher.   They come at various times during the week.  I also drive school bus for health insurance and homeschoolinganddownsyndrome six of the other children as well.  But I have a typical child who is six and isn't quite reading too.  Ugh!  Anyone else have a large family and part-time job have insight as to how you balance everything?
