Babies and homeschool

All righty, now I know I have probably gone totally nuts by taking up babysitting while I home school. Who in their right mind would take on this kind of monstrosity??? Evidently I was lacking a few pots of coffee before I came to a clear decision. Waking up at 5:00 am is not a big deal, its pretty sweet, actually, being able to be up before the sun comes up, enjoy some peace and quiet. The nightmare comes from keeping tiny terrors from sticking a fork in the electrical outlet while I'm trying to explain algebra to my son who, at the time, has mentally transported himself to the underworld of video games. Or trying to keep two 3 year olds from swinging from the ceiling fan after their 3rd cup of kool-aid. I'm in the wrong profession, the homeschooling, childcare thing, I'm an out side kinda woman, perfectly happy washing my truck, mowing the grass, pulling weeds... So what am I doing to myself?? God only knows, obviously a clear cut case of insanity. So wheres the little white jacket? The padded walls? Clearly I need to make a decision, so any input would be seriously and direly appreciated
