What To Do

We are at the end of the second week of school. The first week was a bit rough, but we managed to get through it. There were many tears and bad attitudes, and Benjamin had more free time than ever before. While I worked with the "middles" Ben worked on redesigning the house. I couldn't wait until the last assignment was finished last Friday afternoon. We are trying the cyber school for Hannah and Aaron this year, or I should say this week. It's just not going to work! It's too much like a public school. Last year the set up was a lot different in that I could arrange subjects however I wanted to in order to get things done. Not so this year! I liked it so much that I convinced a friend to do it because I thought it would help her with her load of teaching too. She has boys exactly my kids age. Boy was I wrong for her and me! I ordered Sonlight yesterday it should be here next week sometime. I'll look through it and make sure that's what I want to do before I call the school and withdraw them. I just can't get ANYTHING done with they way they want me to do this schooling. Each subject is supposed to take an hour each with the exception of Language Arts which is two hours, for each child. There are 5 subjects for each child. That's 12 hours a day of school! So I think I might be going back to traditional homeschool. I am going to pray on it and continue to seek God about what to do, but I think my gut is right in bagging the whole thing. It was so nice having the stress of planning off of my plate for the summer; I really enjoyed the summer break this year. I have learned something from this; I don't have to plan the entire summer for school, and that I need to take a break in the summer for the kids sake as well as my own. God is so good to use ALL things for my good and His glory! The best part is He already knows what is going to happen, I just need to listen better.
