pressed in
turning the crank
responsible
long lists
(we begin each day with a Bible story and memory verses...on any
given day one of us may not be ready to begin, but we gather).
I feel so blessed. I like the parts of my life. I just struggle with making them all work... like I want them to.
I want to excel right now at homeschooling but it is so hard when I have an unfinished house. Completed space and completed projects are important to me. I feel I am just getting by right now. I got upset with Deveraux today. At times I feel I am working harder than her. I sometimes feel like I am in "competition" with outside school. I feel at times a pressure to make it really fun. I feel a constant pressure to get all the work done each day and distractions continually knock on the door!
I want to think through the kind of learner she is and what motivates her and tap into those things. I want to plan more exciting lessons. I want to make it phenomenal. The reality I face is trying to paint a bedroom, hang things, make dinner for 5 other people, support my mom, listen to my husband who is going through his own set of struggles.
Then
a new day appears where we get to start all over again.
And....it's better.
What a difference a day can make!
We were able to relish in the pace of schooling at home and learn all about Martin Luther King and time could stop while we read and discovered together!
So sometimes, you just have to wait and a new day appears!
(one day Dev just wanted to wear these silly glasses)
Bobo can sing through and point to the Alphabet!
