It's ok that it was 10 am and this little girl wasn't dressed yet. She was singing along with her brother's +9 addition facts and in that moment, everything was right with the world.
Homeschooling doesn't come in a neat little package around here. (Heck, it's clothing optional for 1/3 of us...) But most days, I'm willing to ignore the clutter, the chaos, and the lack of clothing because things have been going surprisingly well. I wrote last week that it's a busy, exhausting, full-time job. That it still is. But we've all been keeping a positive attitude, making good progress, and (mostly) enjoying each others' company. And that is the measure of success right now.

we have been staying on track over here too. after the initial shell shock of the first week, i think we found a groove. let's keep praying for each other that is stays that way!
ReplyDeleteI love knowing that our progress is measured in relationships, good attitudes, and school progress. Uniforms (or even being dressed LOL) don't make a difference in that. We're pretty casual about being dressed, too...although one year I threatened uniforms! haha
