Well, we did it! We had our first day of school......last week which ended with our second day of school as we went away for the weekend. \I was pleasantly surprised at the results!

This past year was a veritable homeschool BUST! We were under a lot of pressure and making MANY changes in our life that home schooling was pushed aside. Not something I would reccomend, but it did allow for a lot of growth in other ways for us. Sad to say, because of all the "growth" we went through, our children are now  wondering why on earth we need real school since we did "so well" last year.!!!!!!!!

We use a variety of curriculum and this year we had several items we needed to finish off from last year. That worked to our advantage since I delayed ordering my new stuff so long we had nothing to begin on our first day of school! But, it all worked out.

Now for the consistency I am SEARCHING for! I know I need to.....no!  I MUST get more than 3 days of schoolwork done in a week. Doubling up our days may be needed, but I cannot see myself doing schoolwork for 6-8 hours in 1 day.

The biggest issue is I cannot seem to schedule all the things I need to get done in one week. I tend to end up *either* doing schoolwork OR running errands or keeping my house clean or going to visit my Gramma. Just too many things in one week to get done. Well, more to come as to how I accomplish this! Any ideas are welcome!
