April 9, 2007 - It's not all fun and games...
I really enjoy homeschooling Carter...but we have our days...and today was one of them!
Everything was great until I said, "It's time to start school!" - that is when the whining began. Nothing goes through me like whining - especially whan I don't feel good. I am on the third day of a cold in which I absolutely cannot breathe in our out of my nose. I can't smell, I can't taste (which takes all the fun out of eatting my son's Easter candy). It is driving me crazy - so when the whining started, my blood boiled. With gritted teeth, I sent Carter to his room until he could come back and do school without whining. It only took about 10 minutes until he came out and we were able to talk and get on with school. During our school time, we had a few more tense moments, but we got through.
Homeschooling is wonderful and it is such a blessing to be able to teach my boys at home, but it is more challenging at times than I ever expected. Now don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. But I figure if I report the good days on this blog, I need to be honest and report the challenging ones as well.
Here's hoping for no teeth gritting tomorrow!
