The Johnson family's discoveries regarding classical education

Daily Life
Is anyone else's life as crazy as mine seems to be?? I won't bore you with all the details. Suffice it to say the my mother-in-love was in the hospital twice, and then left for Florida to visit her daughter. Now she is thinking of finding her own place in our town. I hope that works out, although it would place more demands on me. Meanwhile, youngest son has now joined Boy Scouts, and so has numerous outings to fit in. It seems like a very nice group of boys and caring adults. They will be going on a winter camp/sled competition this coming weekend.
Dearest daughter has travelled to the Russian-speaking world for 2 1/2 weeks to participate in spreading the Word of God to that part of the world. I expect to see her in less than a week.
My health has been fluctuating, and I am currently on a low GL diet (The Holford Low GL Diet) in an effort to regulate my blood sugar and my weight.
Also, the love of my life has been working harder than ever (too much, really) to try to make his business more profitable. He needs me to work by his side.
And what about homeschool??!!?? Yes, that is ... struggling a bit. We were doing well for a few months there, until perhaps Thanksgiving or a week or 2 thereafter. Since then we have taken a trip to southern California for a Bible conference and to visit friends. Then we were busy getting dearest daughter ready for her trip, etc., etc. Perhaps you know how it goes.
I firmly believe that homeschool is placed in the midst of our daily family life for a reason and that there is much to be learned that cannot be found in any book. At the same time I'm convinced that our academic subjects are very important and must be given a high priority. It's just that when it comes to making these 2 sides work together, well ... I'm still working out the details.
In any case, I think that we are beginning to pick up many of the pieces, and will be putting things together more over the next couple of weeks. As usual, writing about it seems to help me sort out where we've been, where we are now, and to find direction for whatever is next. |
