More reasons to love homeschooling

We have just changed ISP and after over 10 years using the same one, it has come as a bit of a shock to my system!  Especially recently I have bookmarked loads of pages with good ideas for homeschool and transfering all that information is taking more time than I would wish.  Hence a little while where I've been 'quiet'.  Anyway, to today's title.....

Yes, I have more reasons to love homeschooling!

For instance. at the 'Easter' break this year we decided that we would just have a week, rather than 2, off.  When I reminded everyone on the Sunday tea-time that we were back to school the next morning I expected at least a groan, if not a 'do we have to?'.  I got neither!  LJ simply said, 'Okay!  Can we start with maths, because that's the hardest.'  'Of course', I reply and that's that subject finished with!  Wow!  Going back to school in the past has been a major deal - not so now.  Yeah!

Then, out of the blue, my sister-in-law was able to get a 'cheap' ticket and come over and visit for a week from Canada.  No problem for we homeschoolers to drop everything and go visit!  It would have been so hard if LJ was in school.  We had a great visit with her and as we see them less than once a year, that was rather special. 

Then, we've had some unseasonably warm weather for May and we have been able to enjoy every minute.  What a blessing!  Last summer was so awful, this has been just fantastic!  We've had a big storm today with thunder and lightening, but it still seems warm tonight.  I hope we're in for a great late spring and summer!

Hooray for Homeschooling! You really have the bug now don't you? LOL! It is a great lifestyle as well as an educational choice. So pleased for you that LJ is happy and smiley again.

I really enjoy the flexability of homeschooling too. It is so much easier to be able to go to school on your schedule than the school systems. Although we have been more on a schedule this year because my daughter wants to be out when her friends are. However, we have finished our 180 days so we are going to be doing lots of fun things until the local ps gets out on the 22nd. After that we try to spend a lot of time with their school friends, going on picnics, or visiting the local Children's museum. Plus, my daughter is going to do volunteer work and we are going to travel. (Probably not very far with the expensive gas prices.)
I won't quit blogging for the summer break though. I would miss my blogging buddies to much. I may have to cut back, since my Dad found out last Monday he has cancer. I am having to take care of him.
Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day. Sorry the comment was so long.
