You get the idea...

Okay,

Have you ever had too much to say. I have all these posts rolling around in my head and I want to write them all! But you really dont need to be privy to all the wanderings of my head. I mean seriously you dont wanna go there folks! So anyway on the the posts...

Topic one...

Home schooling.

I think that I have mentioned that I feel like I am at a bad place. If I have not well just know that this subject has taken up a lot of "thinkin" time lately! I know there is burn out, I know that it is the middle of the year, I know that I probably do this every year about this time but...

this year feels different.

this year feels hopeless.

I have tried so many tactics. I have tried so many things. And if you are of the school of thought that maybe, just maybe all the "trying" is part of my problem...dont go there! Please. I have already gone over that scenario and I dont think that is it.

I like to school them together as much as possible. This of course causes as many problems as it probably solves. I cannot do everything together and feel that sometimes when three different maths need to be done and explained and checked and corrected...well you get the idea. It seems like too much, but honestly I have enough time in the day.

I really do.

I have enough time in the day to school my kids properly, clean my house, take care of my husbands needs, cook three meals a day... well you get the idea

The problem lies with me.

I dont do what I am supposed to do.

I dont get done what I am supposed to do.

I cant keep a schedule.

I cant maintain a certain routine.

Now are you getting an idea of the problem???

I cant, I cant, I cant...

I have tried to no avail. I have attempted MOTH (managers of the home), Flylady, friend accountability, notebooks, my own charts... I have tried so many things. I have to be honest that in real life they all do work. The problem is I dont press on. I dont continue doing them. I just dont.

I am at a loss. I need an idea.

So let me have it. You can tell me what YOU DO to manage but what I am mostly interested in is how you KEEP doing it????
