time...where does it go??

Just where does it go? At the end of the day I can feel so exhausted like I have been so busy all day but when I look around the house is a mess and I feel like I have accomplished nothing! Just what have I done all day that I have felt so busy, because it certainly wasn't housework?! Anyone else have this problem too?

I don't update my blog enough because it's just not as much fun updating mine as it is reading everyone else's. I like getting ideas from others, hoping I'll find the answer on someone else's blog about managing my time better. I also like getting ideas of education things to do with the kids from others. I'm new at this so I am always second guessing myself; wondering if I am challenging my children's minds enough. I just want to make sure that I am giving them the best. I always feel like they need a better teacher than me.
Reading other people's blogs it just seems like the rest of you know exactly what you're doing and I have no clue sometimes...
Oh well, that's what great about homeschooling I can learn right along with them and always improve with practice, right?
Blessings--Jessica

reading other's blogs is a lot of fun! There is much encouragement and advice to be found out there in Homeschoolblogger land! You've made a great choice in deciding to homeschool - we've been homeschooling 6 years and still get feelings of inadequacy but this often comes in comparing myself to others. Bring it before the LORD and he will show you what to do in teaching your boys and then be faithful to follow through! One book I enjoyed early in homeschooling is "A Charlotte Mason Education" (Karen Andreola). There is tons of info on the web about this approach to home learning as well.

Hi Jess,

Thanks for all your great comments on my blog. You'll have to write about all you're insights from the blogs you are reading, and share with all of us! I look forward to reading more as you write it. Blessings ~K
