How do I get everything done? I am not the best housekeeper in the world, nor am I highly organized at home. When I worked in an office, I was an organizational wonder--except for my last job. There, I had to do the work of five people, so I simply winged it and did the best I could. Every other job I had prior to the last one, I was on top of it all. Well, I'm just going to do one thing at a time until it all gets done. I am one person. I'm getting my priorities all lined up in a row. Getting my house in order! For the New Year and for the rest of my life.
Homeschooling one child, I think, is probably harder than homeschooling five or even ten. I would imaginge that in a big family, the older children help the younger ones. But with a single mother and a single son, mama has to do more. Praise God that I have a helpful child who always volunteers to assist me--even if the task is too big for him. He always wants to help and has been that way all his life. What a tremendous blessing.
I have to go and start lining up those priorities now, before they run away from me.

Hi there! I'm also a single parent homeschooler of an only child (an 8yo boy) living in a big city - Miami. :) I really like your blog and your entries. I hope you don't mind, but I've added you as a friend!
