Plus, we actually have a small amount of money in a savings acct. I know how to handle my math. That isn't the problem.

I do, and did my entire marriage as well, all of this.
I was still terrified of anything beyond finances. If you're not that's great!

In the back of my mind I have always had the thought that she, out of all my children, would be the one most likely to end up getting homeschooled. Now things seem like they are headed in that direction, and I am not so sure I am up to the task.

This may be where I was getting the idea you're feeling like you're in over your head. Again, I'll say that you're doing what's best for her, regardless of how comfortable that is, and as long as you keep that focus and make adjustments as necessary, you're going to be ok.
Homeschooling *is* difficult. And being 100% responsible for your child's education can weigh on you. But it's also wonderful and amazing. Y'all will be ok either way. And maybe a year at home will get her on track to go back. I know several students who didn't even stay home a full year, just a few months was enough for them to pick up the pieces they'd missed and go back into the classroom. But, I know others who just stayed home indefinitely too, and thrived. You'll make the best choice for her, that I'm confident of.
