Home School Leadership 101

Leader for Eagles Homeschool Group?

Seems as though I have been led to a totally unexpected path. For the next year I will be the leader of our home school group. I have no idea what that really means, but I do know that I will be busy and all of the things I have been learning about in school will be put to good use. While I am looking forward to the challenge, I am also dreading the drama. And between home schooling, my own schooling, working part time and leading, I though I would try keeping a written record of all the wild and wonderful things that happen along the way this first year. 

So, if you care to read up on the trials, tribulations, and successes of home schooling life and fly by the seat of your pants leadership, come back by later and have some fun.
