It all adds up

What do dirty floors + backed up laundry + covered dining room table + frazzled Mom = ???? Yep, homeschooling again. (Ok, I admit those things are true even when I'm not homeschooling...) We decided to keep the older two at home this year while J goes to Kindergarten. I have a love-hate relationship with homeschooling. I love having them home more and helping them learn and the closeness of it all, as well as the family freedom, but the power struggles, frustrations and increased stress on me are tough. Cuddling while reading = great fun. Dealing with a 4th grader's bad attitude about times tables = not so fun. Definite challenge to my mom skills. Such is life, I guess! Wish us luck and keep me in your prayers! :)

Yep, I know all about it. I'll make you a deal: You pray for me and I'll pray for you. :)
Dear Lord, may our kids survive and thrive in spite of us. Amen

Can I get in on that prayer deal too? Mine were so excited to start again but have already been giving me attitude! Evan is also having a tough time with getting back into the school routine.
