Keep On Keeping On

I have been dragging and pushing our kids through the last few weeks of school and I'm building up a sweat from that alone. It seems everyday I have a conversation that goes something like, "Okay let's get our math books out. What do you mean you can't find your math book? Why isn't it in the bucket I so cleverly made for you? (We homeschool moms thrive on finding new inventive ways to organize.) Wait a minute were are you going? You cannot do math outside if you don't have your math book."

If you are someone who thinks homeschoolers have it all together I hope this little glimpse will show you, we don't. I think like every mommy we are ready for summer.

I have to admit that I get a little sentimental at the end of a school year. The year is over and one more step toward adulthood has been reached. Remind me of this when I'm ready to walk across the street to the elementary and enroll my kids.

I want to enjoy this summer as mommy not teacher. I am making a little mental note of what is important for this summer.

1. Do not over plan activities.

2. Enjoy your kids.

3. DO NOT OVER PLAN ACTIVITIES SO THAT YOU MAY ENJOY YOUR KIDS.

Push on moms we are almost there. I know you are counting the days. Summer is a great time to get caught back up with what is going on inside our kids' little minds. Also, to refresh ourselves and spend time with the Lord in prayer. We are on the homestretch so, keep on keeping on. Your doing great!!!
