  1. Sorry about the test...I lost the last one.
    I have been lurking and often felt compelled to comment. I have homeschooled my children (18,16,9,4)for 8 years. I started with CM and Classical, and have gradually "relaxed" over the years. I would love to help, but I fear you may find me too relaxed. After many years of anxiety and stress, I finally relaxed and started to enjoy it! If you would like my help, I'm happy to apply.
    Let me know,
