What Homeschooling costs

I'm going to purchase it in about a week so I thought I'd go over the original plan, and made a few changes.
Plus I thought I'd add the cost of curriculum so you can know what I'm spending this year. Of course this doesn't include supplies, arts and crafts, science projects, MANY field trips, etc etc etc. Homeschooling doesn't just sacrifice your time, it does your budget. But, it's like they say..when I'm on my deathbed will I ever look back and think "Man, I wish I would have had more time to myself and saved more money"??? Nahhhh. I know for sure I will NOT think that.

And I have a confession to make. I've spent probably a total of 30+ hours this summer so far researching curriculum, learning styles, looking at books, etc trying to figure out what is best for us. This is NOT EASY people. Anyone that thinks we don't do enough or care enough about our children's education is so wrong. Homeschool mothers do not take this lightly, and we stress over it so. So, next time you ask my kids when they start school and we reply "we homeschool" with a smile...all we need is a smile back...and maybe a lil respect for our choices. 
Muwah! Momma...OUT...at least until I start freaking out about these choices....again.
