My Plans for ME in the Upcoming School Year

When I was on the WTM board today I happened upon a thread that really got me to thinking. It discussed the idea of the homeschooling parent making out an educational plan for themselves when they plan out the year's curriculum for their children. 'What a marvelous idea!', I thought. I had already been mulling on the idea of educating myself on some of the subjects I want to teach my children later on to make myself a better teacher for them. And these mullings had led to some rudimentary plans for self-education in some areas such as nature study and life skills. I am thinking now, though, that I will make myself a formal education plan each year along with the children. Lets call it Mommy University. Maybe I'll even start a separate blog on this eventually. I am going to start browsing around at some things and put down a plan on paper of what I want to learn this year. When I get it figured out (at least basically) I will come back and write it on the blog. Any comments and suggestions are welcome.
