...Just read a blog written by Sally Clarkson, don't even know if its a recent blog, all I know is that I am bookmarking it so I can go back and reread the wonderful little bits of advice there.

I am guilty all the time of thinking I'm not doing enough, my poor baby is falling asleep on the table doing excersises that neither of us want to be doing, but what I think she should be doing, and I still don't listen to what I know we should be doing!!

I am getting back into reading for myself, (as can be seen on the side ~>) and also rereading books using the Charlotte Mason ideas.  While I know this is what works for us, I still insist on trying every other HS idea under the sun, because it 'looks' so good!

When the curriculum we are using is working, I'm still looking around for the next best thing, thinking that I'm not doing it right, fast enough, etc.

Sally simply says to trust that God knows what he is doing, and just let him guide me, so thats what I will do.

This past week has been quite good, We've done the things we want to do, instead of just filling in blanks, I think its finally falling into place and I'm starting to understand what we are doing, instead of jjust doing. 

We've been for walks, been enjoying the HS classes and my 2 younger ones are putting themselves into a routine for thier own homeschooling.  For example when we go to Art class the 3 and 5 year old pack their school bags, before we leave, carry them to the hall, help set up the chairs (well the Gil Grey, the 3 year old does, 'Merah Moo prefers dancing around the hall with her toy of choice for the day!) and then when the 'Lisey starts her class, the kiddles get out their preschool workbooks and drawing books and proceed to do their work, of course break time is about 5 mins later, but they are really enjoying their learning.  AND the best part is there is no pressure, to do a certain amount of work,  learn to read something, etc. we just do.

God bless you world, remember he has your back.
