Oct. 17, 2007 - Burnt Out

I've been thinking alot about my priorities as a homeschool mom. I was really burned out for a while and having to force myself to school the kids. I was so excited when we started and then I get bummed and then excited again. I'm really working hard to fulfill the role of teacher as well as wife and mom that God has called me to be. I am determined that I am going to get excited about school again. Even if that means switching up the curriculum a bit. I really think that would be a HUGE benefit to the girls as well. Now that I have made that decision I am excited again. I LOVE our curriculum but I need to open up to other things as well. One kid does well with our curriculum and the other gets bored. The youngest could care less since she doesn't use it like the older two. But I am praying and praying that God will show me what to work with. I'm going to let HIM lead me rather than me find what I like and forcing my children to do something that they get bored with.

Okay that is enough rambling for now. LOL Anyway, I'm looking forward to the coming weeks. WooHoo!!
