I can say that the only sounds in the house right now are the clicking of the keyboard keys, and the jingle of the dog's tags. I know it won't last for long because soon the younger kids will be awake and the buzz of childrens' energy will begin. I will enjoy the quiet for now. Homeschooling is an interesting conundrum. The joy of having your children at home and watching them grow and learn everyday is a blessing. The frustration of stubborn days where work takes forever to get done is a lesson in patience. Which, by the way God, I quit praying for patience. So why still test me in that area? We have been working but I can't get over the stress of what if I have to put them back in school, will they be able to succeed?
Also helping the oldest figure out how to write papers at a different level as she makes her way through her college classes without the suggestions being perceived as a personal attack of her self worth is a challenge. She already says "My mom's my biggest critic." instead of "My mom's my biggest fan" which bothers me. My goal has always to have her be her best so the world would know how special she is.
My goal for today is to get the younger kids through their school work before 23:00, get the oldest to rehearsals this afternoon, and mark off at least 2 things on the TO DO list. Good luck to me!
