Homeschooling = The Road Not Taken?

Today we went to story time at the library. We ran into two of our neighbors and while the big kids were engaged with the story time program I chatted with the other moms (while chasing Ellie around and nursing William!). In the course of our discussions my homeschooling secret came out... and neither of the ladies looked at me like I have 3 heads! One of them actually said that she anticipates she will end up homeschooling her children around junior high age!

In one of the homeschooling books that I've been devouring recently I read a stanza from the famous poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost, and I cannot get it out of my mind:

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I feel so strongly called to give homeschooling a chance - and I feel like God lead me to this quote at the right time, to nudge me over the edge. Hopefully I've got a strong enough grasp on Dave's hand that I can pull him over the edge with me...
