Hey Blueberrybook. I'm sorry you're having a rough day. I hope relaxing helps. You've had a lot going on and I'm glad you're taking time for self care.
Like BirdDancer mentioned, I homeschool. I was hesitant to do it all on my own so we joined a homeschool co-op program. We go to school with a class a few days a week and then do the rest at home. The teacher provides the lesson plans and we follow the plan for the days at home. This allows my children to have time each week learning with other children and it takes the pressure off of me to be responsible for everything. We really like this style and it is a great fit for our needs.
Co-op programs can be pricey, but they are typically more affordable than private school. You get smaller class sizes and the children typically tend to thrive because they receive so much wonderful attention while they learn. They also tend to have instructors for foreign languages and other specialized classes you may not want to teach at home on your own.
In my research I found a number of co-op options. Some were schools that meet all day several days a week and some were more like a-la-carte programs where you only attend the classes you are interested in. Some are Christian and others are secular. I was amazed at all of the great options.
Just a few things to consider. I hope this helps.
