School

We started school the day after Labor Day this year.  It is a new year...a fresh start.  It always excites me, but this year isn't going how I had envisioned (like that has been our only day of school except for today).  

Crazy wouldn't even begin to describe how I feel about all that is going on.  
We are having to learn how to work around doctors appts and for me to get organized enough to take school with us.
But anyways...that is for another time.  I haven't collected my thoughts on everything.  

We are trying something new and some new curriculum this year.  Once I get into it, I will expand more on the curriculum and how the girls and I like it.  I am excited about it and so are they.

And I will talk about how I almost enrolled the girls in "real" school...like I went to the school and got registration packets and everything...and why I ended up home schooling again this year in the midst of all the craziness going on.

And I will talk about why I will never school year round again.  Power to those who do, but not this momma... I like my summers off.


School happens all over our house.  I don't have a school room (all though I would love it).  School works better for our family when it is everywhere.
Even though we have had a rough start at it, I can see this being the best year yet...I hope I didn't just shoot myself in the foot.

Your AMAZING, seriously amazing. You might cry if you knew how much I spent on 3 yr old Preschool because my gift is not teaching children especially my own. Because I sure wish it was and that money could go elsewhere. But my kids need the stimulation and my OCD tendencies start get out of control when crafts etc start exploding through my house. I really admire you.

I have no doubt! We looked into private school here and we just can't do it. As far as the messes...thankfully my girls are old enough to help clean. My craft/school supplies are in one place, so they know exactly where things go. Although, some days I act like a total maniac trying to get them to clean up after themselves....or I cry in the corner to myself wondering if my house will ever be clean again. :)
