A Good Day

Today was a good day. Since the beginning of the year I have been trying to figure out this new schedule. With Zeke still being in school till the end of this year while homeschooling Russell it is a little hectic. Zeke was home sick from school a couple weeks ago and the whole house, including me, got to sleep in until almost 8. It was so wonderful. I cant wait to have Zeke at home next year. It has been difficult to get the scheduling of homeschooling down along with Russell's mindset. He finally seems to be settling in but at first it was a struggle. As much as he wanted to home school all I heard everyday was: If I was at school I wouldn't have to do that. What are they doing at school. My teacher usually does this instead. All of that combined with his mental attitude of -- I'm at home it mus be play time not work time and it has been a rough couple months. However, days like today really make me excited about the coming year and having Zeke home too. I am finally getting things running smoothly enough that I was able to start back into my regular workout routine this week. I actually got the utility room ( where our English Mastiff Kadiy calls home ) painted today. So, I am making progress towards all my clean up the house to get it ready to sell projects. Hopefully the progress will continue this weekend as it will just be Caden and me hanging at the house all weekend long.

I'm so glad to hear about a good day! It is a big adjustment. I will say that being able to have a leisurely morning, without running out the door early and stressed is one of the biggest benefits for me of homeschooling. I love that!
