Am I going to go crazy?

We are in the process of considering homeschooling our children. I have an 8 year old, 7 year old, 6 year old, 5 year old and a 2 year old. I'm planning on working at least one full day a week still and possibly one evening also. My husband will be home with the kids the one day I am at work and will help with the schooling also. Right now I feel like I spend just as much time on homework and dealing with advocating for my children at the school as I would just teaching them myself. Two of my children are having a very difficult time in school and are not receiving the extra help they truly need. the 8 year old and the 5 year old are pretty good at learning and working as independently as I request of them. So when I start homeschooling I expect to have one KG, one 2nd grader and two third graders (one ahead of third really and one a little lower than third grade really). I am very organized when it comes to school issues and learning time with the kids and currently outside of homework time they are receiving two days a week of tutoring and days they don't have tutoring spend one on one time with me essentially being tutored.
I love my kids....but they do drive me insane somedays...lol....I'm thinking this would help us a family to unite more and bond....and also take away are two most stressful times of the day which are am's rushing to get ready for school and the transition home from school.
Please give me all your thoughts...lol
