I thought I would let you know how the first week of homeschool is shaping up:
Saturday August 14 7:45 pm: My youngest son fell off the table and gave himself a frenectomy (he cut that thing that connects your top lip to the gums).
Sunday August 15 2:45 am: I climbed into bed
Sunday August 15 7 am: I fell asleep
Sunday August 15 9 AM: I woke up and got ready for church. I went and taught a lesson in church. Not sure it made any sense, but the ladies liked it (or so they said)
Sunday August 15 12pm - 8pm: I was at work
Monday began school. What with an incredibly exciting weekend I could only hope that it was a preview to all the exciting things I could expect this school year. I was not to be disappointed. Our "Welcome To School" orientation lasted all of 45 minutes before the school's administration decided to cancel: this was due to the fact that the online conference system we used couldn't support all 6000 students/families logging in at the same time. That's okay - I went to the dentist instead.
Tuesday was even more exciting as I drove my children to a field trip - we went and visited the Cabbage Patch Land Hospital! It was cool, except I was super creeped out by the gigantic Cabbage Patch doll they had walking around. Well, that and a kid who wasn't old enough to drive delivered Mother Cabbage...
Today was okay. I spent most of it on the computer listening to teacher after teacher tell me "it wasn't going to be like this forever" and "it will get better."
I believe them, I think.
In the meantime, I am thinking to myself, "and I'm doing this because...?"
Wow, you're amazing! I blogged about homeschool recently at someone's request. I'm planning on doing it myself... but boy am I scared! Keep up the good work:)
