Homeschooling with Grace

• Sep. 2, 2008 - Wow! I'm Shocked!

Posted in Educating Boys

I thought to check this blog tonight and I'm shocked at how long it's been since I posted!  I actually haven't been blogging as much, and Josh and I found Facebook about a month ago, so it has consumed most of our time.  When I do blog, I've just done it over on my blogger.com blog . . . anyway, to make a long explanation simpler, I've been busy! Guess I'm also winning the ADHD contest, since I basically just forgot I had two blogs!

School for us is different this year.  See my post over at that other place.  I'll try to do a better job at keeping homeschool and faith ponderings here, and funny boy stuff there.  This year, I only have my two younger boys at home.  I thought this would be a nice change, that I would have more time with them, and that without their brother to terrorize them and distract them we'd get so much more done.  However I've discovered that there are distractions even within their own heads!  The other day I was working on reading with AJ, and he starting picking a fingernail.  It wouldn't have been a problem, except it was mine!  I watch his eyes when we are trying to get something done, and they are all over the room.  I have to constantly remind him where the book we are reading from is located.

I told my dearest friend last Tuesday that somebody is going to need to be medicated before the year is up!  I'm don't really care who--them, or me--but somebody needs to be put on meds!  Anyway, it all goes back to the usual, I'm putting too much pressure on myself, especially for the day-to-day, and probably putting too much on my plate.

The great thing about sending Josh to school this year is that it has forced me into a schedule, and forced me to plan some things in advance.  Having to plan for him is causing me to plan better for the other two as well.  So even on days  when I feel like we've gotten nothing done, we probably have done more than I think. 

Anyway, I'll try to blog more later about what we are doing.  Not that anyone is reading this . . .after all, I haven't posted since January!!! Then again, maybe I still have one fan out there . . .  somewhere . . . maybe?
