Random days

 

I, as the mom and teacher, try to have a specific schedule, a routine, for the kids so they know what to do and how to do things if I'm not here some day like sometimes happens.

We also have to do other things like going to doctor appointments, orchestra lessons, go to the store and things that not always are unexpected and some that are but can shake us from our schedule. 

Somedays we have more time so we can clean our tables before we leave the house after homeschool, others we just run and leave a few things for "later", "when we come back." Sometimes we accomplish them after  the appointment or "interruption" but some days we just have one thing after another and at the end of the day we are all tired and only ready to sleep so we have to start homeschool next morning with a whole load of books and things on the table.

This year my life is being more busy than last year when we started homeschooling so it kind of frustrates me but I have to remember that we are homeschooling and we can be more flexible and the importance of this journey is to be together, learn together, enjoy our time together and sometimes a messy house/school is ok if we still have the peace to do all the other things, that are actually more important, in a happy manner.
