Planning...and more planning

I can't believe August is almost here already. The summer just went so fast. We are on a break for school at the moment. Actually the kids are on break not me. I'm planning our upcoming school year. Right now I'm at the point where I just want to go AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! It just seems like it's never going to end. Of course all of this is bringing up questions like: is this the right curriculum? Am I doing enough? Or to much? I know if I was using a single & complete curriculum things would probably be easier. But I'm "eclectic" to say the least. This year we will be using:
  • learning language arts through literature
  • Story of the world
  • Horizon
  • Lifepac
  • Learning to draw
  • a music appreciation unit from HOAC
  • a French curriculum from the Quebec Education Department
  • Learning science through critical thinking
  • Galloping the globe (for geography only)
  • Explore the code (for Samuel)

Am I the only one that feels a little overwhelmed by all of this?

No, I'm totally overwhelmed w/ all the same questions!! There is just so much to choose from and so much to compare too. I'm eclectic too, I feel your pain
