We're slowly getting back into the swing of things after our vacation. The kids are still sleeping in a tad later than normal, but I haven't pushed it in the mornings. I know the early wake-ups will come soon enough.
I'm realizing that it's going to take me quite a while to fully adjust to homeschooling. I'm so used to a traditional classroom, following and meetings standards, making sure I follow a prescribed curriculum that it's going to take some time breaking from that mold. I'm feeling scattered, unprepared, like I'm breaking completely uncharted territory...at least in my own life.
I'm sure it doesn't help that we're in the middle of a long, messy move. Most of our books are packed. Half our school supplies are over at the new place, of which we won't be moving into for at least another couple weeks. Whenever my house is in disarray I feel unsettled, jittery inside. Well, my house is currently in a permanent state of disarray, and will be until we're fully moved and unpacked. I'd better get used to it!
But despite these obstacles we're marching on. I am seeing progress, and that's encouraging. Ideas and strategies are coming back to me as we go, many of which are proving helpful (another post about those will follow).
By God's grace we're learning, and starting to have a fun time of it, too!
