monday was our first day back to school for 2020. and it went AWESOME! chris was home, he was sick so i wasnt sure how it was going to pan out...i spent sunday and saturday prepping for school for all the kids. to be honest, ive been slacking the last yr with school.
i know you go through season of life and that treads into school as well. ive been doing more activities than book work, the kids are NOT behind, but they are not ahead either. i knew i had to make some changes in life to get more book work done...and i needed to get out of my funk
ive been in this funk the last yr...the summer was hard, then i went into the school year struggling...after company left for Christmas, i took a few days at the cabin to rest and make lists of how i want to see things and how i can make changes to make it happen...
im SO thankful for chris and my sister. they both think a like and are PERFECT for me to talk to. and over time ive come up with a plan so stick to!
im NOT a schedule person. im more about routine. which is similar...to me a schedule is based on time slots, and that causes me anxiety and pressure. routine is having a flow for the day and "walk through the day"
our school flow is good...but i wanted to ass more subjects...so after many hrs and a few glasses of wine. i had my school plan done! which is funny cause that was my last glass of wine. im doing dry jan...and prob feb...im almost 2 wks in and dont miss it! unless im having a good supper that would pair a glass...anyways!
