Okay, so here's the thing. Home schooling does not work if you (as the mom and homeschool teacher) are not well organised, well prepared, and don't have a good routine. But even if you are all these things, but are tired, it can be a disaster.
We've had a bit of a hiatus with our annual conference and then the cousins' visit. Now I find I am struggling to get back into the swing of things. Jonty has been out of the routine for 3 weeks, and not used to doing it anymore, and we have to relearn all our good habits. That's what last week was about.
By Friday last week (a week of trying to settle back into old routines and rhythms) I was fairly organised, had done the lesson prep, etc, and Jonty was ready for the lesson, but even as we started, I realised I was way too tired to do it. The words were swimming around the page, and I could feel my patience was, well, kind of lowish. So I averted disaster and cancelled the lesson and put Jonty and myself to bed.
This week's focus will be on getting the groove back, and ... getting more sleep!
