First day of school :)

Today was officially our first day of school ! I am still waiting on some of our curriculum but have plenty to do ! In fact I was surprised at how much time it took today. I know it will take a little time to fall into the groove of things again. I absolutely love homeschooling my son. It brings me such joy to do this :) Granted I know that this year will have it's day's just like last year. Day's of asking myself if I am crazy for doing this and crying myself to sleep. BUT overall there are more good days then not and it is TOTALLY worth it. I love routine and all that goes with homeschooling. Our life has had very little routine with my husband being laid off but I am hoping to get some sense of normalcy back. I honestly believed with my whole heart that by time school started we would once again find ourselves in a nice home with a two car garage to do all our activities. That has not happened and so I find myself homeschooling in a very small apartment. My son mentioned today that he really misses our home. I also found my heart aching for it. It was such a great place for homeschooling. I miss my classroom but know that I need to just plunge ahead with what I have. So for now our kitchen table is our "classroom" :)
