"Organized" Chaos

• Sep. 2, 2008 - Floundering.....

That's me --- flopping all over the place here, not really sure I have this year's planning under control.  I feel like everytime I get something down on paper, somewhere I see a article/blog with another great idea and maybe I'm not doing enough or what's best for us. 

I know, all homeschooling moms go through this at some point in the year, but is there ever a time when it seems to become a tiny nagging feeling rather than a full blown panic attack?   I am such a planner/lister addict that I feel like any new planner/form/ebook might be the one I need and am I missing out?  Surely it must be better than what I already have - and then I see another, and another.  You get the picture.  I'll even let you in on a little secret ---- whenever I get even the slightest inkling that I just MIGHT be pregnant, I am a HUGE pee on a stick-a-holic.  It's a sickness I tell you.

So, how do all you veteran homeschooing mom's do it? At what point do you feel that you have it all together and your "best" is good enough?  C'mon, help a mom out here. Share the wisdom and the love.

I just wanted to tell you that I am very much like you in all of this.Not sure what year you are into the homeschooling but I have 5 years experiance in recent years and a couple from way back during my first marriage. I surely can not say that I have any real answers , I am a bit ADD and easily excited by new things ALL the time, BUT I will say that I am more confident now. I have settled with knowing that I DO know whats best for my kids and I have a general idea of how I want them to learn here. I have actually graduated 2 now and I can say proudly that they actually turned out OKAY ! lol I really didn't "mess them up" as I had feared, they are awesome kids and I am proud of who they are. I think that their character ends up being the truly inportant thing anyway, not any of the "schoolish" stuff. Well enough from me,God Bless You & Yours!~Carole
