Getting Back in Gear After Christmas Break

After a week and oh, 2 days off from our schooling regimen, I have to say I'm having as much trouble getting back into the learning groove as are the kids! I suppose I knew that would happen... it's kind of like taking a week off from exercising, then jumping back on a treadmill and feeling winded after only 2 minutes.

I've got our table set up, the books are out... not open, but out, and I have the lesson plans in front of me, yet here we are with dinner cooking on the stove and we've not yet begun our school day. That means after lunch we'll be scrambling to get everything done before daddy comes home from work. We'll have plenty of time, but I really prefer to do half day before lunch and the other after. I think it works better for all of us!

In any case, it seems like so much of the time I'm sharing these little homeschooling confessions with my readers, showing off just how imperfect our homeschool really is! If that's somehow a relief to those of you who don't think you're on top of things enough to make a homeschool happen, well then I guess it's ok to share my screw ups with you! lol Yes, we're all human and not a one of us is perfect. I don't mind sharing just how imperfect I am and in fact I think sharing my mistakes actually motivates me to do better!

Ok, time for lunch and school, followed by a good hearty dose of housework! Better scram.
