Confessions of a constant planner

Over the past few weeks I have been thinking a lot about the older two kids futures. Frodo will be ready for high school in about 2 years and I'm already worrying. One of the things I love about homeschooling is the ability to do what we want. But I know that as the high school years approach the kids will have to meet certain criteria for college. I also think a lot of this is coming from pressure from my non homeschooling friends. They have been talking about how you need to tour high schools in 7th grade so your prepared for choosing which high schools you want in 8th grade. I mean seriously is this high school or college were talking about people?
But because of all this chatter I keep turning over options in my head. Options like, continuing with our charter school, switching to another that has a part time campus, filing an R4 so we can just do our own thing or a distance high school. The most important thing to me is the ability to take community college classes during high school for credit. If we stay with our charter they will actually have to take all their science and foreign languages at our local cc.
So for once in my life I am going to stop trying to plan something so far in advance and just go with it. This will be no small feat for me, but I think I can do it! Because after all, I still have a few years where I don't need to worry, I should really take advantage it for once! So instead of worrying I will spend my days enjoying our time and our new love for Charlotte mason. ;)
