Big changes this year

Since 2012, I’ve been homeschooling my kids. My son is 18 and about to enter the local community college for GED classes and some trade certification courses. My daughter is 16 and has started at one of the local high schools as a freshman. She should be a junior, but because of how we homeschooled she didn’t have a transcript for the school. Without a transcript, she had to begin as a freshman so she will be a year older than I was when she graduates. That’s fine. The school says she can graduate in 3 years providing that she gets all 24 of her core credits. She can do it. It’s the first time in a long time that I’ve had to go back to school shopping and when you’re on a tight budget as a single parent in a single income household and it’s the slow months at work, well, I’m feeling that financial pressure right now. I have gotten everything they needed though, but I might have to ask my church for help for October’s rent and I don’t like it. It’s hard to bite back your pride and ask for help. It should be their dad helping me, but whatever. I’ll speak to our bishop as see what he can do next Sunday.
