Polly Want a Cracker?

Jan. 13, 2008 - Happy

If you are a consistent person, you may not understand what I'm feeling. I feel happy and relieved all rolled into one because...drum roll....we completed an entire week of school. YES!!! Ah, the feeling of accomplishing a goal.

What's been in my way?

Me - SAD (seasonal blues) kicked in early this year. October was a bust.
Thanksgiving - We were just getting back in the swing of things when DH took the kids off to his brother's house for four days.
New Granddaughter - Before the kids could recover from Thanksgiving, my oldest went into labor. After several days of practice, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. I deserted my family to try and help DD and SIL adjust to being new parents.
Christmas shopping - ACK! I was trying to enjoy being a grandma for the first time. Who has time for shopping?
New Year's - Can't really get in the groove while Dad is still home from work.

As you can see, it has been a long time since we've actually schooled. That is why this week, with it's routines and accomplishments, gave me a feeling of relief. It's always good to make some progress with regards to your own expectations. Yep, I expect us to homeschool.
