Finally going to bed
I’m so tired. I think my vision is blurring as I type this.
You know the song- it was not a restful weekend: soccer tourney, ballet practice, etc. I actually spent several hours this evening working with my oldest son on his academics. I’m still struggling with teaching 3 different levels at one time so everything is still in trial mode for me. I don’t like teaching on the weekends, but until I develop a better system for teaching them, I’ll just have to make adjustments as we go along.
I’m already in the planning stages for our homeschool for next year. Wondering what that will look like as I attempt teaching 4 different grade levels! I’m hoping to travel more with them next year-go see places we study about, etc.
It’s almost 2 a.m.-just finished lesson planning and making some changes in what I’d like to cover. I have my library list so hoping to get by there tomorrow. Must sleep..
I love Grandma Moses
Grandma Moses’s life story is so inspiring to me. I’ll tell you why.
I’ve put my own life “on hold”, if you will, to teach and raise our children with the help of my husband. I’ve seen my own selfish dreams have to take the back-burner as I’m consumed with the everyday duties of homeschooling our children. I’ve no regrets or major complaints, and I do feel this is the right thing for our family at present. That being said, I do miss having the opportunity to be able to fulfill some of my own goals in life, those big dreamy-dreams that you see yourself doing. So, I found it so encouraging to review how Grandma Moses was able to create these beautiful things in her seventies! Love it! What an inspiration to all Moms out there, not just homeschooling Moms, and to remember there’s a season for everything.
