I posted the other day about some of the reasons I love homeschooling Jacob and Ashlynn, but sometimes things don't go smoothly. In fact, there are weeks that don't go smoothly. We actually had one of those weeks this week , and it has made me start to wonder if:
My children are taking bets to see how many new grey hairs they can get to pop up on my head?
They don't realize the cost of an insane asylum for me? There won't be any money for their college education if they drive me crazy.
They think that I will say we are finished with whatever subject they are struggling with forever, if they tell me how hard it is enough times?
They think it surprises me when they say "Dad is nicer than you." Of course he is, he didn't have to sit through a morning of homeschooling joy with them.
God is answering the prayer my mom said over and over again while I was growing up, "I pray to God that you have children that act just like you are right now." Mom I think that God heard you.
Even with the hard days or weeks, I love our homeschool life.

Hugs mama - I can relate. My son tells me that he doesn't want to be with me & it makes me feel horrible. But daddy who doesn't see them till he gets home from work is the "hero". He isn't home to do the homeschool & to be the disciplinary so I look like the bad guy! I just keep praying because it's God that gets me through it even though my oldest hates homeschooling, I still love it! Keep the faith mama!
Even with the hard days, I wouldn't want to spend my days doing anything else.
Hey- Counting grey hairs could be a great math lesson! Or you could do a study on how many greys appear on normal days vs stressful days?!
Brendan,Jacob and Ashlynn like your ideas.
