Back to Homeschool Week Day #1

Ok...so I'm cheating and posting this a day early. I just have finally gotten in my head things that I wanted to say and wanted to get it all down before I lost it. Anyone with me on that?
My daughter is going into the "5th" grade this year, meaning she would only be in 4th grade in public schools, and we have schooled for 5 years. We were living in Ohio when she would have entered kindergarten. The area I lived in was not known for it's academic excellence and we wanted her to have a Christian education. So, we checked out the school that was connected to the church that we were attending. After jumping through several hoops and getting letters from pastors that didn't know us, since the church was so big, we went to the school 2 weeks before it started and took a tour and met the kindergarten teacher. We really liked what we saw and when the tour was over, we were ready to enroll her. However, we were left standing by the office for nearly 1/2 hour while people bustled past us to get ready for the school year. They were painting, cleaning, that sorta thing. No kidding, the teacher just left us there. We tried to find someone to let us know what to do now and get my daughter enrolled, but no one wanted to help. So we left.
Well, I have to tell you that I was very distraught. What to do? I didn't want to send her to public school and couldn't seem to get her enrolled in private school. What was left?
When I was in high school, I had gone to an ACE school and I decided that it couldn't be that bad to do it at home. I had no idea if what I was doing was legal or not, or if that was the best thing for her. But, I embarked on it anyway. I could really cheat and continue, but the rest I will save for the next week...trust me, it's better than any soap opera!!
