Well, this week went okay. Schooling my oldest at home isn’t going to be a picnic, but in the end I think that it will be better for him. Before these last two weeks of having him home, when the weekend would come, I would be like, “So what?!” (Thinking to myself that all my days are the same, anyway, so what does the weekend matter.) Now — with what seems like the rest of the world — I’m really, really glad that the weekend is here. And, I’m glad that it is a three-day weekend. Yahoo. At least I get a break from something on the weekend now. Now I don’t have to try to help him finish up a week’s worth of homework on Saturday like I did when he was in school. And, I feel better now that my feet are a bit wet with this homeschooling thing. For instance, I know that I’m going to scrap his Science text and look for one that will more closely fit his learning style. And I know that we’re probably going to start the schooling schedule where we are on for 3 weeks and off for 1 week. I think that the 3-1 schedule will greatly benefit my sanity. Not that he would have the whole week off, but would have a greatly decreased workload. The only thing that I have to do is to make sure that it lines up with the other boys’ break schedule. So, that is all that I know. Everyone have a good weekend. I know that I’m going to try to have a good one. The only thing extra on my schedule is making chocolate chip cookies — how’s that for shooting high? \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
