...and all is well. Not perfect, by any means, but good enough. I'm still working out the kinks in our new routine, and figuring out how to fit in everything I want to accomplish this year, along with all of our many activities.
But the best news is that I feel the most motivated and excited about home schooling than I have in quite some time. We've been at this, as a family, since our oldest (now a college student) was a preschooler and we sat around the dining room table, doing the Weaver Interlock program. That's a loooong time, and we've got about 10 years still ahead of us. So I guess it's understandable to get a bit burned out and to need a fresh perspective, some fresh ideas, and a fresh approach.
Right now, at the end of a long day, everyone is still up, although the youngest two are being sent to bed even as I type. The rest are in a mad frenzy of ironing, readying their martial arts uniforms for tomorrow's competition. We'll be up early, trying to get out of the house at around 6:30 to drive to the tournament. I chuckle, knowing that I won't have to get up any earlier than I've been getting up almost every morning for the past two weeks---and my wake up time is getting seemingly easier each day. Well---"easier" is a matter of perspective. Maybe it would be more accurate to say that it's becoming much less hellish.
I'm looking forward to next week, looking forward to the week after, looking forward to the best year of homeschooling ever.
