Getting back into the groove

Today we have been trying to get back into the groove of school after a nice relaxing Easter break. My parents have been down visiting and we have been blessed with some great days ! They are still here but we decided to start school up again. I am taking a different approach to the rest of the year. I have been homeschooling for almost 5 years now. I have a habit of getting myself stressed and overwhelmed with thinking we have to do 10 x's more then everyone else. I realized I do this to myself because I feel as a homeschooling family we are so scrutinized and judged by others. I am gonna work on a daily basis of releasing that pressure and remembering why we chose to home school to begin with. I am gonna find ways to hold Chad's interest more. I also want to focus more on topics that Chad is interested in. This way I can encourage a love of learning. Most importantly I want to take advantage of these days I have with my son for I will never have these days again. Days that we can spend laughing, learning and sharing love. Days that we will one day look back on as our memories.
