I am honored that you commented. 😉 (referencing your truthful and right on blog post that I read earlier tonight) I tell ya, I wish you could teach my kids some piano and ballet. Some times I feel like I’m beating my head against the wall just getting them to buckle down, leave their brother alone, and well, you get the idea. 😉 Some days I’m doing great. Some days I don’t how I got into this mess, but I adore them to pieces. So yes, I am okay. Maybe ask me again in the summer, and I will say it with confidence. 🙂

I love out of comfort zone things and homeschooling is something I advocate. Especially for active children as they don’t spend most of their day sitting down and the evening when their bodies need to shut down while growth hormone’s released, doing activities. I wish I had some adorable little bunnies to homeschool, myself. It would be mostly piano and ballet. We’ll see. I hope you’re doing okay, SB.

In reply to Donna. Oh, I definitely agree that a teacher's job is never done, and they are waaaay underpaid and under appreciated. Phew! What a job! I do regularly set out learning stations on the coffee tables. I just take all the books off and replace them with activities. I just need, like you said, more time to plan activities. Daniel and I had a great time yesterday with a brand new ABC puzzle. The boys were so happy playing Timeline road today that Joshua actually said, "I love having you as my teacher. I'm so glad we get to do Timeline instead of math," and Caleb must have hugged me 10 times. Activities go a looong way in winning their approval. The whining started right back up once I whipped out Caleb's speed drill. Oh, well. That's life.

Still trying to come up with ideas for ways to set up learning stations without them being in the way when not in use. Would love to figure a way you could have about a week for us to just plan and work on next years plans and folders. There are so many great internet sites but you don’t have time to check them out! A teachers job is never done. You can see why teachers feel so under appreciated and underpaid!

In reply to queenmommyjen. Thanks, Jen. So true that sometimes we're not even sure why God wants us to do something, and it's always worth it. Great point.Praise the Lord. :)

In reply to Rebekah. Yes, both sets of our parents are such a blessing to us. We are so fortunate! Thank you!
