Today was another academic day where you feel like you’re spinning circles and wondering if anything’s getting accomplished. I taught on a variety of topics from phonics to subject complements to the food pyramid to addition to spelling rules to poetry. The list goes on. It can feel like you are in an academic marathon at my house. The kids get plenty of breaks, but mommy doesn’t and that’s okay. One day we will retire, and I can play bingo with girlfriends or maybe I’ll run my own company. But, right now it’s Catherine the Great and whatever else needs to be learned.
Tonight consisted of practices and breakfast for dinner! I love to do that when hubby’s working. I needed to get a work-out in but instead chose to eat Mrs. Field’s cookies-going to chalk that one up to hormones:) Just finished giving myself a chemical peel, you know the kind where your face feels like it’s on fire! I’ll spend the rest of the evening reading programming books, studying history, and listening to a bit of French before bed. Yes, it’s essential to study when you are homeschooling. Become the student, I say.
