There are times, like the past couple of weeks, when I really, really, appreciate the flexibility of homeschooling.

We have been so ill these past 2 or 3 weeks - with high temperatures, flu-like symptoms, and just, well - weak, absolutely no energy.  It's taken so long for me to be back on my feet, let alone being able to cope with a house full of sick children - wow!  Things sure have been challenging here.

But, it also does make me appreciate the flexibility of homeschooling - we are able to take the time out to simply 'get by', and do only what 'has' to be done.  Now that we are all recovering, we've also been able to take a couple of days to simply relax, and take the time to simply watch some television or whatever, and catch our breath.

Hopefully, we're now over the worst of it - I'm pretty much exhausted from it all, but we were back at 'school' today, so we shall see how we cope with the rest of the week.  There is, of course, a lot to catch up on - housework, bookwork, emails, etc. - but, slowly and surely, we'll get there!   I hope to write some more soon, once things are caught up somewhat.

God bless,
