Today is the first "official" day of our school year!! I am excited and nervous. Last year, I was a newbie and every mistake I made could be blamed on the fact that it was my "first year". This year, I have a better grasp on my strengths and weaknesses and those of my children, so I am out of the ignorance-is-bliss stage. This is no longer a year that we are just "getting accustomed to homeschool". I have spent the summer thinking about what worked, what didn't, what I need to improve on and what I need to leave alone.
Thanks to my blog surfing and the input of my good friend, Gayle, I have my offical three ring binder with cleaning rountines, schedules, menus, grocery lists, devotionals, inspirations, notebook paper, and even a pocket with a pen and pencil. On paper, my life looks pretty organized and very structured. In reality, Dewayne set the alarm wrong so we woke up late, the shower floor was so slippery I almost busted my rear, I forgot to start the dishwasher last night so I could not do step one of my kitchen clean up which of course threw the whole routine out of whack, I forgot to get the sausage out of the freezer last night so all we had was half of my super duper first day of school breakfast, and Hannah is waking up about 30 minutes ahead of schedule...
Needless to say, my prayer time this morning was spent begging God for his blessing on this year and for enough patience to get me to the end of this day. But I have to echo the sentiments posted on Gayle's blog: I am so blessed and would not want to be anywhere else in the world. Have a great week!! |
