I’m a failure when I’m not great at everything
I'm a Failure, Failure, Failure! That thought has been running through my mind for days. I finally gave in and broke down on Monday and just cried. I can't do it. I can't do any of it! If I just had one thing to do, I would be so great at it! If I was just a mom, even a homeschooling mom, I could be so great! If I was just an artist, and had … [Read more...]
Quickest way to melt a mom’s heart!
I had to share three things my son said to me since last night that made me melt like butter! "Mom, your hair is softer than a cloud", he said last night as he smoothed my hair out over his pillow and laid on it before falling asleep. This morning before school, "You're my favorite person in the world, so I just don't want to leave … [Read more...]
What am I doing?!
Since weeding some things out of our schedule, to allow for more down time at home, this week has been pretty mellow. We slept in, skipped some field trips, and the kids had time to relax, get bored, play with toys they've forgotten they had. I thought it would be great, that's just what I wanted, right?! We've been doing so many field trips and … [Read more...]
I am SO awesome!
When you were little you knew you were awesome! Do you still have it? This is a must read for everyone! I can't share this enough! http://blog.pigtailpals.com/2011/08/waking-up-full-of-awesome/ I am still awesome! I forgot and haven't felt it in a long time, but my 5 year old told me I'm awesome and I choose to believe it! My 2 year old says I'm … [Read more...]
I just want to take a nap!
The last week in September I was going to blog about our family goals. That was going to be the last in my unintended homeschooling theme of the month. However, my husband lost a close friend that week, which was hard on me as well, to see him so sad. And to know his family is grieving. Ever since, I just haven't felt like writing. I tried to … [Read more...]
Life of a homeschooler, What are we learning?
In my post A Week in the Life of Homeschooler, I described how we've been running around to all these different classes and such. But what are my kids really learning? I thought I'd elaborate a bit in case you were wondering what we do besides driving! (Which is a great time to pop in an educational CD, discuss things together, or for the kids to … [Read more...]
Proud Mommy Moment / Horrified Mommy Moment
He earned his orange belt in Pre-karate! I'm so proud of him! The last time he tested, last spring, he was a totally different kid. He was scared to get out there in front of all the parents, students, and teachers. He hid behind the chairs and cried when I tried to coax him out. They very nicely gave him his belt when he agreed to come out at the … [Read more...]
A week in the life of a Homeschooler and schedule change
I changed our schedule around before we even got comfortable! I couldn't wait for my son's classes to start so we could get settled into somewhat of a routine, but just when we got started, I changed everything! It's great we have the flexibility to do that, but now I can't wait for the new routine to start! This week, my son went to an art and … [Read more...]
Chasing kids for photos.. uh, I mean taking photos of my kids
My son has never been a fan of getting his picture taken. He usually hides if he knows you're trying to snap his pic; blocks his face with his hands or looks away quickly! I have to snap a quick candid shot before he knows what I'm up to, most of the time. Drives my grandmother crazy, who will spend an hour trying to get a perfect pose! I've been … [Read more...]
