Welcome

Although there are many blessings and great pros to homeschooling our children, I was not prepared for this. Due to the ignorance of the local public school, I had to withdraw my two youngest children and begin homeschooling them. I was not prepared!

I have homeschooled in the past but was hoping things would work out in the public setting so I could pursue some personal joys.

Many days I love to teach; some I do not. It is my lack of patience that makes for a bad day.

This blog is an insider's view of a typical day full of fun and frustrations that come along with homeschooling children.

Migraine day

Today I woke up not wanting to teach. I had/still have a migraine and it is hard to teach, with patience, and feel like we are accomplishing anything.

Things are progressing inspite of it all. It is hard to teach logic to an autistic child. Therefore, repetition is our method. I never liked repeating myself to a child as the role of mom. It is annoying to tell a child something and then tell them again because they ignored you the first time.

But with Hayla it is different. I know that if I keep repeating myself a lightbulb will eventually shine bright and she will get it. I like watching her mind grow.

Noah is trying to be patient with us. He progresses so fast that we can't keep up. I will have to revamp school later to suit his growing brain. Until then he will learn patience.
