Hello from Home school world!! So sorry to all who have noticed my absence and have missed my perspective on the greatest challenge to my 37 year old brain!
We have been schooling and I am still schooling my Lovely and Sporty. Baby Girl continues to be at preschool a couple of hours a day 4 days a week. Allow me to update all that is going on in Owlschool. One word...flexibility!
The new year has brought a slight sense of comfort for me. I am allowing our school time to be 9ish instead of 9 on the dot. There are definite advantages and disadvantages to this. I am trying not to live and die by our schedule, but I am having a hard time. I have discovered for me personally I just want to do school and get it over with. I think that is a good goal most days. I feel like my mentality on this is possibly taking away some of the fun. The flip side of this is I don't want to be sitting at the school table at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I am so done by this point.
One of the reasons we are being more flexible is that I have been getting up to exercise in the morning (every other day) and I am not willing to sacrifice my time in prayer with the Lord....so everyone is getting up a little later...eating breakfast a little later...starting school a little later. I am sure some of you can not understand the mental stress I battle in my own head...it is insane. Anyway...the girls are doing great! I am so proud of their work and commitment to try hard!
The last bit of info to share is that my school district called me 2 days ago and gave me a bit of a hard time. They were questioning why Sporty is not registered as being home schooled. Without boring all of you with the legal issues I will tell you they were wrong! They were successful in intimidating me and making me afraid of the police coming and taking me to jail..haha. Seriously though, I did contact a Home School Legal Defense attorney to confirm that I am in the right and thankfully, I am.
I found this attorney to be a blessing from God. Although I have kept excellent records for Sporty, I would be completely overwhelmed with the details that would have been required for her at the end of the year if the school district was right. The Lord provided me with a peace yesterday through the attorney. I just felt it was God saying, I have called you to do this and I will be with you in this (homeschooling). Thank you Lord!
Well I hope to be a little better in my posts in the future...stay tuned!
