I didn't enjoy homeschooling Chloe last year. Didn't feel I was good at it. But, I will be able to keep all my little chicks at home this coming school year and I am looking so forward to it! Bubble baths at noon! I love it. I soooo relate with you. I didn’t enjoy homeschooling Chloe last year. Didn’t feel I was good at it.

It's jenna, I hope I'm not bothering you! I homeschool 5 of my 7 children and EVERYDAY is never the same! I always want things to go smoothly and in order, but I promise, nothing ever, ever, turns out perfect! Ha H ah ha Ha Ha H aha!!! But as you said, I do right for my children. I just could never bear sending my little 5 year old away from me, off to public school!! And so, I decided, to homeschool, and take charge of what the children were learning. Being at home with the children takes alot of patience an conviciton, but I won't have my babies at my side forever!! Pretty soon it will just be me and my darling hubby. I don't ever want to think that I never devoted enough time to all the kids!! I do my best and leave it at that. Sometimes it gets frustrating when I have projects for myself that I want to work on, but, I designate the weekends, for my interests. My kids, do the same thing where, they distracts each other and laugh. Some days are worse than others, but I remind them that the sooner their school is done, they can go play or do projects. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Ha Ha H ah ha Ha! I'm sure you're doing a wonderful job Heather! You have so much patience and understanding! I know one thing, My kids aren't exactly jumping up out of bed in the morning to do school!!! Ha h aha Ha Ha I love to hear about what you experienced in Brazil! Take care heather and I hope you are staying warm!!! You have lots of snow!! Hello heather! It’s jenna, I hope I’m not bothering you! I homeschool 5 of my 7 children and EVERYDAY is never the same!

I can relate completely -- I certainly am not home schooling because I am a great teacher! (I still think you are a much better home-schooling mom than I am!) I love all the pictures of the kids, and the one of Sarah with Rosebud is so very much like Esther -- Grandma's poor little dog gets WAY more 'love' than she could ever want! Love to you all!
