Sick kids

 Homeschooling is amazing but as I always say, everything in life, has its ups and downs. Being sick is one of the downs if you want to see it like that. If you want to have the right perspective being sick and homeschooling is better than going to public school. 

Since the child goes at his/her own pace, when they are sick they work as much as they can or nothing at all. We had a few days for each kid when they were sick. It took over a month (taking into account that we are a family of 6 and we were sick for 3 or 4  days each and then the recovery process where you just don't feel enough energy. ) to go back to normal and having everyone healthy again.

The good thing about it is that we won't have to catch up, do extra homework or anything like that. We stop when we need it and we resume when we feel better again. I am glad the kids have that freedom to just stop until they feel better without worrying about missing classes, getting doctor's notes to take to school etc. 

My kids and husband had some extra time to rest and cuddle with Osa. As you can see in this photo, Osa was on top of them and they didn't even realized of that until I showed them the pictures!
