Trying to fit it all in
|
I don't know if anybody will ever read this and maybe I'm hoping that nobody does . . . . I have five kids at home - one is a senior in High School, and four at home. I tend to be an unschooler and yet, I feel very pressured to make sure the kids are performing at state regulated levels. I've never registered any of them and so I have no idea if they are "where they are supposed to be" or not. I know that they can read well but that's not all school is about. I am trying to balance being a busy pastor's wife (with lots of responsibility as a help-mate in this area!) and a mom and a homeschool teacher, and a leader in women's ministry. That's enough but there is more . . . I have done pretty good at cutting a lot of things out . . .I'm pretty narrowed down to what I HAVE to do . . . I don't do a lot of extra things . . .and still I struggle with getting it all done. I think the thing that I should work on first is getting a night routine going. Since we moved here a few months ago, we have never gotten back on track. We go to bed at all hours and often the kids are up when I fall asleep. then the next day it is hard to get them up - so I just let them sleep. So, on the list today, set up the "fun" room at the church for the kids (don't want to call it the School Room . . . )and try to come up with a night routine. Oh, and I'm sick today.  |
