So Dave was saying thank you for breakfast and for staying up late washing his pants for work--- cuz we missed the dry cleaning pick up! And I said thank you for getting up by 7:00 so that we all start our day earlier and I get to the table by 9:00! I said we did good this morning! Only like 5000 more days to go!
I kind of thought that seemed like a low number because the years of home schooling I have ahead of me looms on and on (I am not complaining it is just a fact that I have a long way to go on my journey)
SO Of course I did the math.
Assuming I school Emily my youngest for another 11 years @ 289 days a year (this is just an approx number), that equals
3178
Wow. Much less than 5000!
I was instantly encouraged!
I wondered of course how many years I have been home schooling though
Kaitlin is 11 and I started when she was 4 sooo (really I started before this but using actual curriculum)
7 X 289 (again just an approx)=2023
But I had already home schooled Sarah Jean Jumping Bean for two years prior to Kaitlin so that would be a total of
2601
So I have almost home schooled as long as I am gonna home school!
Wowzers!
How about you, how long is your journey?
BTW.. I know that OUR home schooling journey will not end the second Emily graduates... there is still much to teach!
