Educating Caleb

Feb. 18, 2008 - NO..........

.....we haven't been A) blown away by the gale force winds here, B) swept away by the flooding that happens each time it warms up (and we are grateful for our sump pump!!, C) teleported to a different galaxy or D) won the lottery and are traveling in Europe.

Sigh.

I am simply in a conundrum. A quandry. A fog of my own thoughts regarding the rest of this school year.

I wish I could say that these past 2 weeks have been a welcome break. The first week was, as it was PLANNED and much was accomplished. The second week was NOT planned, since illness cannot be foretold.....so it was a very frustrating week.

Small son STILL has such a heavy cough.

BUT he did not share it with myself OR hubby.....so that's a good thing.

Something is NOT working well here with our educational system. I need to pull out my old CM books and REREAD everything. Hubby is worried about him not 'getting it'.....the basics, I guess. I'm worried about him not liking 'school'.

It just seems we are at different poles of this thing right now.

Sigh.

I need to make out a lesson plan (loosely)for not only this week, but for up until we leave for TX in late April.

Just not motivated.

Pray for us.

Feb. 18, 2008 - Praying for You my Friend!

Posted by gnjlopez

I can relate so much on what you are thinking. I am basically at the same place, although my dh seems to be with me. At least he states he is. We are both really frustrated with where the public schools left my ds and partly blame ourselves for trusting them in doing their job. Oh well, the Lord has given us an awesome opportunity now and we can just pray and go on from here.

In my opinion, I think you are doing an awesome job! I have been following your ds's progress for a while now and it gives me hope for our family's journey in homeschooling. Keep up the good work and don't worry so much and just have fun and enjoy this time you have with ds. He will soon be all grown up and you will never have this time back. Just think, he will be living a wonderful life with wonderful memories thanks to wonderful parents.

Blessings,
JEN
