And if you think about how much administrators get paid in school systems and how hard those jobs are and how much goes on, it's a huge role. Is not at all shameful to be like, 'I spent my whole day administrating my child's homeschool.' Because it's a big, big job."</p> <p>Linsey: "Well, I'm not a likable person when I'm doing more than one thing. I've been told that by my husband, and I've been told that by my kids. So just by virtue of not being the most horrible person in their life, I need to calm down and just do one thing at a time."<br> ---------------</p> <p>Thanks to show sponsor BookShark. <a href="https://www.bookshark.com/request-a-catalog/">Request a homeschool curriculum catalog</a> or <a href="http://www.bookshark.com/instructors-guide-samples">download samples</a> at <a href="http://www.bookshark.com/">bookshark.com</a>.<br> ---------------</p> <p><strong>TIMESTAMPS</strong><br> <br> 02:31 Linsey tells the story of her homeschool journey.</p> <p>04:13 How being a terrible planner can make you a better homeschooler.</p> <p>05:17 How Linsey runs her home with so many children with such a range of ages and needs.</p> <p>08:38 Linsey sees her role more as a superintendent, manager, or administrator than a teacher.&nbsp;</p> <p>09:41 Coping with guilt as a homeschool parent who also works.&nbsp;</p> <p>11:03 Is doing it all even possible?</p> <p>12:19 Mono-tasking instead of multitasking.</p> <p>18:00 A typical day at
