One of the challenges for me as a homeschooling mom is my own addiction to the internet. Especially Facebook and all the unnecessary reading that is put before me. I often have trouble breaking away from my iPad to do what needs to be done, and spend time with my kids. I hate that I am selfish and lazy and would rather go the easy route in most things.
On top of that, I am taking a Bible health class via phone, which is very interesting and fun. The downside to that is I am learning so much that I need to change in my life and want to be able to share it all with my family right now. Overwhelming, sometimes, since I have a tendency to want to do it all at once and then get discouraged, because I can't. I have to remember to take it one step at a time, one moment at a time.
So today, we are going to get started back into a schooling mindset. We had our worship and then walked to the park and back. That's P.E. Then we did some history and science, followed by art and music, and English. Now it's time for home ec and lunch.
Sarah isn't feeling well so she is napping off and on in my lap which makes doing anything difficult, but we'll get it done.
Yes, I agree! It is a challenge to find balance. I am out of balance right now. Thanks for this reminder to remember what is important.
