Homeschooling in Illinois

Jan. 4, 2007

They are Gone

B, Y, and Queen B have left.  We were all brave, and very choked up,  but we managed to say good-bye to each other without disolving into tears.  As soon as they pulled away, however, N lost it.  Which of course made me lose it.  I am going to have a hard time with N these next few days.  He is not good with good-byes.  Right now, he is upstairs screaming because he doesn't want to clean his room.  As semi-normal as that is, I know it's because they have left.  Every time my mom left, he would be at his worst for a few days.  At least now I have recognized the pattern. 

The house will be less crowded, just slightly quieter and alot more boring.  It is now back to "normal".  Time to rework my school schedule and make new goals.  I started out the year doing Ambleside Online, but have strayed WAY away from it.  I don't even remember the last time I was on the site...

So here are some goals for 2007:  

  1. Finish the bathroom before company comes for Christmas. 
  2. Do at least 30 days of school.
  3. Read two books.
  4. Wash the floors in the house.
  5. Play the piano at least one time.

I think I will stop there.  I don't want to get to ambitious and not finish any goals....

Oh, it is always an adjustment! I remember I used to cry like a baby when I went to visit my nephew (now 26) and I was in college. I bawled like a baby at 20 when I had to say good bye. Your goals are more ambitious than mine! I say, GO FOR IT!

The other day when my husband and I were here the thing on your blog about the number of abortions since the beginning of the war really struck us.

The reason I am stopping today is because I was curious- after you posted the last comment on my blog I asked this in an additional comment-
What poster of offences and consequences are you talking about? I am not familiar with it? Do you have a link?

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L born May 18. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
