The great and not so great

Yesterday was probably our best school day yet. It was simple and there were no special picture moments, but it was just nice. We got all our lessons done. Mom was feeling on top of things (and was even able to get bathrooms cleaned and 2 loads of laundry done). The boys were happy. No tears today! Miss K joined us for history -- our very favorite subject -- and we learned more about mummies and ancient Egyptian beliefs. There was time to play with friends, go sledding on our neighbor's lawn, and have a huge snowball fight. Good day!

Today--not so good. Struggling to get through lessons. When it was time to get Miss K from school we'd just finished math--the only subject we'd touched so far. Hard. We met Miss K's friends and joined them for lunch at McDonalds so all the kids could play. That's the good part of homeschool. If it's not going well you can just take a break. We came home and started history, phonics, and Language arts. It's been a long day. Still good, but there have been tears.

Sounds a lot like sending them to regular school, too. There were plenty of tears then, less breaks, and more homework at night when you wish you had some family time.

I vote for home school!!!
