I haven't talked about it much but I have been really stressed about the upcoming year. I am starting so many new things and I worry about whether i am strong enough to do the right things for my kids. I am cloth diapering, I am homeschooling my special needs seven year old child, I am going to be a momma to two kids under two. I am thrilled with my life, but I am terrified too. That being said, I have seen some things lately on blogs and on Youtube which made me smile and gave me hope. I thought I would share this one with you.
This one is called "I will survive - Homeschool Version"
Even though I'm in a different place then you are right now...my youngest is 10...I've been homeschooling for over 15 years. You WILL survive. Sure there will be moments where you wonder just what the heck you were thinking and "where's that number to the local school"....but the good far outweighs any of those moments. Hang in there and have FUN with it. It's a new experience for your whole family...and you'll be tweeking things along the way. Trust me...I STILL tweek!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love this video. I can't remember the first time I saw it, but it still makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteYou will have a great year! Just remember to stay flexible and positive!

I'm homeschooling for the first time this year - four kids! My thoughts and prayers are with you and hope you'll feel the same.
ReplyDeleteI love this video! ... I've posted it before. :)
ReplyDeleteHomeschooling is the greatest choice we have probably ever made and I have not regretted it for ONE second; however, that does not mean I don't have days that I almost pull all my hair out and lock myself in a dark closet rocking slowly and singing softly to myself until my husbsand gets home but HEY! no one died-we all survived and we will survive again this year! :)
ReplyDeletebetter let ya know-I like to exaggerate just a little:)
