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! |
