Well, insomuch as a sane person must be available to oversee a homeschool, I keep returning to my dear Handmade Life theory. Look what the NYTimes had to say this morning:

"Like the vast majority of therapists in the United States, Coché describes her therapeutic orientation as “eclectic.” What’s most prominent in her approach, however, is the influence of existentialist philosophy, a theoretical framework that assumes people are, above all, driven to find meaning in their lives. She also thinks “systemically,” such that, among other things, she’s attuned to how couples collude to create their own misery, often to insist upon it — because of some unseen comfort the ostensible misery provides. As the late psychoanalyst Stephen Mitchell observed in “Can Love Last? The Fate of Romance Over Time,” his 2002 book: “When patients complain of dead and lifeless marriages, it is often possible to show them how precious the deadness is to them.”

I feel like dancing and clapping and shouting for joy. Let me make sure I understand this. If we choose the preponderance of our dead and lifeless lives, that certainly means we can un-choose such, as well! Yipeee! Run, tell the children to choose wisely.
