Some of the things I'm learning:
* I can't do everything.
* I can do all that needs to be done only by looking to and leaning on God.
* Prioritizing is a necessity.
* I truly love spending time with my children, but time to myself is important too.
What made my week: Daddy (spur of the moment) asked the kids, "So, after a month of homeschooling what do you think?" Rachel exclaimed, "Awesome!" Nathan stated, "I really, really like it!"
Looks like another great week! Do you have a field trip planned for every week? ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes, it was another great week. No, not every week! :) Although it's a great way to learn -- hands on and reinforcing what has been taught in the "classroom" :)
