WOW!! I was flooded this morning with personal responses to my post about balancing business, baby, and homeschooling.  What a surprise it was to see so many of you also homeschooled through some of your private practice experience.  Yes, this is the BEST job to combine with a baby and I  appreciate the tips on how to do so.  Some of you mentioned that the challenge is when the baby gets older, "too old" in most people's eyes, to be brought along, and too young in mom's eyes to be left a lot.  That is one of my biggest concerns also.  I am already experiencing stress over the amount of MENTAL ENERGY required to do all this, as I don't mentally compartmentalize very well. I'm finding myself losing sleep over OTHER people's babies and realize I can't afford to do that for long.  I woke up this morning thinking I cannot do it, but then I read all your posts and am a bit encouraged.  Thank you so much for your tips and suggestions and well-wishes!

Sincerely,
Amy
