Home Schooling isn't for the faint hearted...
We started our full home school schedule August 18th. We do math and reading all year so that we don't have to review those skills. The first day went fabulously. The kids finished their work in record time (before lunch) and were happy to play outside most of the afternoon. Day 2 proved to be a little more difficult. You see, I was waking them up early to get going, and they're not used to that. Since it gets dark so late here, we've been letting them stay up until 930 or 10 at night playing games with us, etc, then sleep in until 730 or 8. My "don't want to be lazy" genes kicked in and said I HAD to get them up at 7, HAD to have them in bed by 830 or 9, but life just doesn't always go as planned. We are hospitable. People come over several times a month, sometimes 2-3 times a week. We have church activities that keep us out late. The kids have so much fun doing that stuff, but it's sometimes 9 by the time we get home, then we have to bathe...
