The Homeschool Mother's Journal

In my life this week…I got the house fairly straightened up and feel like I can relax a little this weekend. Well maybe. In our homeschool this week…we discussed how much of a summer vacation we would take and what our goals are. Helpful homeschooling tips or advice to share…do not take credit cards to a homeschool conference if it is your first. It is over whelming and everything looks like something fun to try. I am inspired by…by my friend Lynne who is working hard with me to change our lives and she encourages me daily for the last 2 months to get it right. Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…this week we went to Monkey Joe’s. Monkey Joe’s is an indoor bounce house. I was worried about rather I would be able to keep up with all the kids but I did great and they did great and I left feeling more confident My favorite thing this week was…finally getting a new garage door. So excited to be able to use that side of the garage again. What’s working/not working for us…started spelling power again this week and it is working. Questions/thoughts I have…how do you keep ticks from biting you. Things I’m working on…making a walk though sprinkler system and a tether ball set. Actually my son is for a Boy Scout project. I’m reading…a Nicholas sparks book but have not really gotten into it. I’m cooking…a birthday cake because a special boy has a birthday this week. I’m grateful for…my vets office because they listen to me and help me and are so compassionate about my worries I’m praying for…a relationship that got hurt this week and what my part in it was and what my next step should be.
