"Lost Control" ~ over and out!

Some women were born with a "home school" gene, which apparently got lost in my DNA make-up. Oh, my kids and I we have the greatest of times, at times. And then ~ there are days like today ~ every time I turned around someone was doing something to seriously make me crazy and laugh with my whole heart ~ all at the same time . . .

Like sitting in my Bradford pear tree to do her English.

Or laying on the trampoline to do their math. They are in the same grade and like I don't know they were sharing answers. She likes multiplication. He doesn't. And she is sporting a new pocket knife on her belt. I wasn't born yesterday.

Or reading a book in your sister's moon chair instead of doing your American Nation questions.


What's a mom to do? Clearly Lord, I have lost control. The kids have taken over (I am too tired to care) and my brain hurts from trying to figure out 5th grade math.

But tomorrow is another day, and hey my pansies are lookin good! Over and out! Sumer

  2. I applaud you for your efforts! Even though I teach 20 kids at a time, they aren't mine. HUGE difference. Trey and I would drive each other NUTS if I home-schooled him. We are too much alike (stubborn - together that's not good). It's better for both our mental (and possibly physical-lol) well being to have someone else teach him!

    Hang in there!
    Sweet kids who love each other and love the Lord. THAT is success!
    Happy Friday!
