I likely sound like a broken record, but our June days are highly concentrated on academics. I have certain goals to reach for each child before our summer begins, so that’s my focus. They all ask me, “When does our summer break begin, mom?” Of course, they know the answer is when we reach our goals, but still they like to ask. I’m not sure if their repetition is to throw me off course or if they’re hoping I’ll just throw in the towel and call it quits sooner than planned. I don’t give up so easily:) So, they are learning perseverance. Hard work pays off, usually. You want to be good at something, guess what? You have to put in the time, and that’s not always fun. My kids are not allowed to complain. I don’t believe in luck. I believe in the Almighty’s sovereign control over our lives. However, I tell them that you must do your part, not sit around and be lazy.
Well, enough of the band wagon. We discussed DOMA this morning. That’s one for the history books, no doubt. Tonight was spent riding around in a pink limousine and getting our nails done while celebrating a friend’s daughter’s birthday. Quite the transition from teaching all day. Good times…
