    I'm just saying I couldn't. When I worked nights but tried to work with Kevin during the summers, it was hard to get the work done. Even to find time to plan things was hard, but I would do that on my break time at work.
    I'd come home whipped, sleepy, and ready for rest, but still there was this work to cover. I wanted to cover it, becauseI knew it would help him in school.

    If I didn't work right now we would not have an income coming in. My hubby has still not found a job. Its was has to be done right now. I liked it better when I didn't have to leave the house unless I wanted to. But I believe this is Gods plan right now.

    I wouldn't be working nights and Grandma will be there to help too. But, we have to do what we have to do right now.

    That's why it's so nice to have a place like this to come to for encouragement :)

    It would definitely be more difficult, especially with the young age of your little one. She is still so young.
    My sister homeschools her three girls and they are between 7 and 11 years old. She works at night but is exausted during the day. She has to work but said that it has made things very difficult lately. She gets home at 4:00 am just to sleep for a few hours and then is up to make breakfast and do some school. She tries to nap but it is hard when you have little ones. Especially when you are planning out their school work instead of having a set curriculum already planned out for you, like my sister has. So I can see it being more difficult and time consuming when it already is for someone who has the work preplanned.
