Hi! It's Jilly. School started a couple weeks ago, so people have been asking me the million dollar question...how's
homeschool going?

| First day of school...at the park |
It's...going. I won't lie and say that every moment is rainbows and sprinkles and puppies. There have definitely been some good moments. The kids have said that they like homeschooling better than "regular" school, which is nice. But, it has been haaaaaard.
There have been some challenges, for sure. "They" say that it can take up to a year to "detox" from public school-- to get used to each other, figure out your own schedule, and find which learning style and homeschool philosophy works best for your family.
This scares me a bit because I have NO clue what this next year will hold. Hubby graduates from residency in June and we don't know yet where we'll be moving next summer. What if we feel like they are supposed to go to public or charter school wherever we move and the kids are "behind"?! What if I'm not able to teach them all the things they are supposed to learn during fourth grade?! What if this...what if that...?!?! Aah!
It's been a big adjustment, and sometimes I feel like I'm messing everything up. I feel like I personally have so many "issues" and worry about making things worse, rather than better.
But, I just have to move forward in faith and not let
that jerk Satan get to me. I
know this is the right thing for our family at this time, and I have to just do what I feel is best and not be worried or fearful about what the future
might hold.
For now we are just figuring things out together as we go along. We had to set up a schedule for our family and we're trying to stick with that schedule and see how it goes. Today was a great day full of laughter and only a little bit of nagging. Ha ha! I hope to have many more days like today!
