Well 2011 is almost over... PANIC

Well the year is almost over and we are starting our break in a couple of days (the boys both have a list of things to complete before they can be off!) but my work is get beginning! I am in panic mode right now, not having a clear plan on how to complete Alex's 9th grade year. We might be well into the summer before we finish, and that's OK. What we need is to know EXACTLY what is left to complete before I start the challenges of finding the curriculum for next year.
Oh for the days of just looking for a phonics curriculum or even learning basic math facts! This phase is so overwhelming and usually my own ADD tendencies get the best of me. So while I am trying to get ourselves more organized and with a plan or planner that works for more than a month! So I searched for "organizing my homeschool" in Google and came up with more links that I can possibly process in a week. However, I did go thru and find some helpful examples of what others are doing (being a visual kind of girl). I found a great thread on how secular homeschoolers organize which is important to me. When searching for ideas on organizing, I found that most of them are from Christian homeschoolers, so just keep that in mind (you can, like I do, just omit what doesn't fit with your life style).
More this year than ever, I have to find something that fits me, and our family to organize not only homeschooling, but work, co-op classes, practices, volunteering and other things that we are involved in for this coming year.  The main reason for this determination to make it work for us THIS year, is we are going to be "hopefully" selling our house. Yea right in this market right? But that is what is driving my desire to make this work, because I need to have a schedule organized (however loosely) so that we can still accomplish our school work even with interruptions.

So what is your plan? Do you have one? COME ON share it!!
