Schedules, schedules, schedules

Posted in Homeschooling
Every time I hear a homeschooler get upset about being "behind" in her schedule, I say, "hey--you're homeschooling!  You make the schedule and you're always on time!" 

And I do believe that, with all my heart.  But sometimes, I have to remind myself that I believe it.  I'm a type A person and it's hard sometimes to be finishing after our local public schools.

I have been working out our schedule for next year and what with all of our vacations and things, we'll probably be finished with Core 4 mid June 2009.  I was hoping to be done before summer. 

What do I care?  Really.  What's a few weeks, months, even years when you're talking about a lifetime journey?  What's important in the journey itself, the time spent learning together, the great discussions, the fabulous books read shared.

So I will say it again and again, most of the time to myself more than anyone else.  Enjoy the journey, and don't look at the calendar.  It'll all get done....at some point or another!!! 

God bless,
AH

I am convinced that the flexibility is the best part of homeschooling...some days I wish I still were homeschooling!

A,

So right you are, and not only about homeschooling! All of parenting, really. I am happy you shared this blog with me. You have so much to offer non-homeschooling parents who are muddling through the chaos of homework and provide a new energy and vibrant outlook on life that is beautifying to everyone around you. I miss you.

your friend and fan,

love kumari

You Are a Mac
You are creative, stylish, and super trendy. You demand the best - even if it costs an arm and a leg.
You Are Austin
A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll. You're totally weird and very proud of it. Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way. Famous Austin residents: Lance Armstrong, Sandra Bullock, Andy Roddick
You Belong in Paris
You enjoy all that life has to offer, and you can appreciate the fine tastes and sites of Paris. You're the perfect person to wander the streets of Paris aimlessly, enjoying architecture and a crepe.
What Your Pizza Reveals
Your appetite is pretty average. You don't go overboard - but you don't deprive yourself either. You aren't particularly picky about pizza. It's so good... how could you be? You fit in best in the Western part of the US. Your taste in food tends to favor what's rich and comforting. You prefer food that will definitely satisfy you. You are eclectic, stylish, and totally random with your choices. You are deep and thoughtful. You should consider traveling to Paris. The stereotype that best fits you is guy or girl next door. Hey, there's nothing wrong with being average.
