I have been trying to be a little more relaxed while still trying to get our schooling in. I am always in a hurry. I know that the kitchen needs tiding, laundry is waiting to be put in the washer, dryer and taken out of the dryer and put away. Little ones needing attention while the older ones need to finish school etc. etc. etc. You all know the drill.
Because of all thee above I'm sometimes a no-fun-mom. Especially when my little students are taking FOREVER to finish their schoolwork. I am trying to add in more park time or bike riding time. We have been going to the park at least 3x a week. Before I was always too tired to. Another thing I have been working on. Putting my tiredness aside and doing things anyway. I figure I can be tired and have it affect the rest of the family or be tired and have fun with my children. I choose to have some fun.
Isn't it weird that during motherhood (when the kids are home) we are so tired and during our single days we were not. It doesn't make sense. We need our energy NOW!
Well I would blog more today but I want to look into Aleks math & TimesTables before my kiddos notice I'm missing
I've felt the same way....thinking I was to tired and not wanting to do anything. But like you also, I feel guilty that I'm not being a "fun" mom. I'm still trying the balance between "responsible" mom and "fun" mom.
I hope to get the Heart of Wisdom group started in the next week. Lord willing I will have time tomorrow night to be on the computer. I've had a lot going on since Easter, some expected and some unexpected.
Just stopped by to say hello and see what you and the family are up to. Still busy as ever I see! LOL. I love your homeschooling blog and all the pictures of the kids. I'll try to visit here more often. All my love - Aunt Rose
I'm Linda, a child of God, wife to my best
friend Lupe and mom to Joshua 98, Annette 99, Caleb 00, Brent
01, Ethan 03 & Lance 04. We have been homeschooling since
2002. We homeschool because we believe that this is what God
wants us to do right now. I love being with my children, most
of the time=) I have to admit that there are days when I ask
God "Why am I doing this?" and he gently reminds me that I can
do all things through Christ who strengthens me and deep down
inside my heart I know why I am homeschooling ;)
