HomeSchool

More & more parents are HomeSchooling these days. They all have different reasons as to why. I wanted to homeschool even before having my 1st child. My kids have never had to do daycare, thank God for that. And so when it came time to start doing the pre-k learning my son fought me & would not learn for me. I felt I was at a loss. So I put my son into Kindergarden. finally he was willing to learn. Why?? Why do kids act better, behave better, & learn for other people? It's like they think, yep it's Mom I can get her to cave.. I wonder why. As a Mom we wear MANY hats and they all over lap 24/7 so after a few years, & a few kids we "choose" battles that we stick to or let slide alittle. And you know what, its hard. But it is, what it is. I hate they saying, deeply. So back to the School thing. He was learning but I was still hating it. I wanted to homeschool, and as the year went on I could see he was not liking it.. but I needed him to leearn this stuff.. So then my plan was let the foundation get laid. Get the hard parts out of the way. So then it was time for my 2nd son to start school.. so they both went. One in K and one in 2nd grade.. They both hated it.. I couldn't blame them I hated it as well. I have to say, I am not a fan of this common core stuff.. HomeSchool Starts fall 2014. All these years I have wanted to homeschool, boy did I not know all that much. I have learned more in the last 2months than before.. Wow. but Yes we are doing it. We have good days, & we have bad but thats a giving.. I can breath my kids can learn, breath, & with out FEAR a school terror drill becoming real. And I want my kids to be able to learn things that they show interst in.. Learn what is being taught not just enough to pass a quiz or test.I don't believe in shoving all kids throught this common core peg hole.. I want to know what my kids are learning.. I am learning, my kids are learning, and we're having fun In our New crazy life.. I have Many more reasons why we are homeschooling. but I will save those for future posts.. why do you HomeSchool?

they wont let me quit.

You know how people say "Why would this be The job for Me, when I have Quit all my other jobs." Its kind of like saying "Why would this relationship work out, when all my others have failed." Ok maybe people dont really say it like that, but just hear me out. See before a Husband, Kids, & real Adulthood set in.. I was free. :) Really, I would get a job, Learn everything about it, I mean master the job just about. But given I am an Extrovert, jobs get boring. Yep, I have quit all of my jobs by the 2yr mark. I was offered assist. manag. or manag. And yep, I went on vacation came back and turned in my 2week notice. Because I knew this wasn't the Job for me, I must Move ON. Until now, I have for the past 9years held the Same job as a Stay at Home Mom, or S@HM for short. This has been the hardest of all. I master one stage, or so I thought at the time(I dont think one really "Masters" being a mom, or the stages of ones children) It's hard. Then a new one comes on. Op, then throw in another kid in the mix. WOW. My Mother a single partent of 4 made it look way easier, and I have only 3kids plus a Husband.. Some would call that having 4kids. laugh. But thats not the case here. Each day it's like, ok lets just all make it throught this day alive. Nobody get hurt; lost, stoll, sick, Bleed, & etc. The list could go on for a while. At some point I felt lost, like what am I even doing. Exhale. Breath, you don't need to cry because you burnt dinner & there is no other food cause you were going to go shopping the next day, the dishes in the dishwasher you forgot to wash, & now one of the kids tells you they have an ear infection. Inhale. count 1 2 3 Exhale. God has you just where he wants you. It's not the sitcom 30minute everthing worked it's self out kind of life. It's real. It's messy. But think to yourself everytime you feel a Moment is creaping on say to yourself "Will This Matter A Year From Now?" I bet you, like 99% of those moments the answer is No. NO, it will Not matter one bit.. Breath, Smile, & just enjoy, cause yes the time gose way to fast. Then Thank God For every Moment.. They wont let me quit. And I dont want to any ways.
