We Did What? 01/24/2011
 
It is the end of a long Monday and I'm pooped!  I know that the kids and I got plenty of work done, but sometimes it seems like I ask myself, "What did we do today?"   So just a reminder for you and myself, let's go over the list...

1. We got up, had coffee and hugged the children.  Not necessarily in that order.

2. With our beds made (does throwing the pillows to the head of the bed count?), we were ready for our learning by 9am.  Well, most of us were.

3. Music, science, handwriting, Scholastic News, literature, and giggling about a silly joke was done by one child or the other.

4. Lunch break!  : )

5. Finish up our to do list.  Not much left, but crossing stuff off sure feels good.

6. End the day with kids doing taekwondo and me rushing to Trader Joe's with another list while they're in class.

7. Dinner, baths, bed, more hugs and kisses... lights out.

8. Oh my gosh... breathe!  Put our feet up, know that we had a full day and be thankful that we did what we did.  The kids are healthy, growing, and thriving.  Isn't that what it's all about?  Whatever your list looks like, you did it, you finished, what an accomplishment!   TM : )

Tired Talk 02/03/2010
 
The end of the day is a good time to reflect... you know, I was about to say something clever, but I'm really tired tonight!  So with that being said, I think I will end the day with letting you all know, "Yes, we ALL are pooped by the end of the day!"  Sometimes more, sometimes less, but I do know that homeschooling is an ongoing job that seems like it will never end and just tires you out.  But you know what?  As I peek in and take a look at my kids while they sleep, I know that I'm doing the right thing.  They are smart, they are happy (most of the time), and they are thriving.  So I guess maybe I did do a little reflecting after all.   TM : )

Now repeat after me... I am great.  I am awesome.  I am tired.  I am teaching future leaders of this country.  I am really sleepy.  I am a good teacher.  I am a good Mom.  I am ready for bed.  Well wait a second, what if you're reading this in the morning?  Okay, repeat after me... I am great.  I am awesome.  I am teaching future leaders of this country.  I am a good teacher.  I am a good Mom.  I am ready for a nap!   TM : )
