Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Proverbs 31:30

We Start Tomorrow!!

Posted in Homeschooling
Okay, I have never really had anxiety over starting school before.  Usually, I am ready for the "order" to return to life.  Since we are moving, this has taken over our lives!  Not only do we start school tomorrow, we also start our home sale journey!  The only "return to order" will occur when our names are on the paper that says we own a new house and our furniture is in said house!

So, how do you plan when you do not know what life will bring from day to day?  I realized that I was going to have to go back to recording keeping the way I used to do it.  Have an idea in mind and journal what we actually accomplish.

I have a basket.  All the children's school books are in this basket.  It will probably follow us around the house to whichever room we end up in.  After the daily chores are complete, we will break out the books and go full steam ahead!

When "The Call" comes and we have to be out of the house in 30 minutes, all the books will jump into the basket, we will go through "The Call" checklist, and the basket will head out the door to the van.  Or, at least that is the plan. 

I suppose I DO have a plan, but I think I better stick with the diary idea.

Some of my worst parenting days were when we were showing our house when I had 3 little kids to get out of it. I can hear myself screaming "Go sit in the van! Don't move! I'll be down when I'm finished!"

It sounds like you've got a good plan. I would assign people to each item on your checklist. Also, do a morning clean up before you start school so that you just have school to pick up if you do get a call. Probably stuff you've already thought of :-)
