We&#39;ve had nine snow days, three 2 hour delays and one early dismissal.scissorbillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17007972459685140075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733704.post-31145963544390638432010-10-04T13:44:29.188-04:002010-10-04T13:44:29.188-04:00Oh my goodness...I have so much I could say right now - First of all, I am excited for you AND the kids, for your first year of home schooling. Granted, your first day did not go as planned already....but that&#39;s home schooling! Just roll with it! It&#39;s part of the fun! Do not fear of you &quot;...own shortcomings, and ruining everything.&quot; The greatest requirement and top qualification to teach your own children, is LOVE. It&#39;s more than apparent that is present! Your mini list of reasons you are home schooling are only more confirmation, that everything WILL be fine indeed! MORE than fine! Fear of the unknown, is a powerful force. That&#39;s why it&#39;s important to get DOING.It seems by now, you must be a few weeks into home schooling. Are things feeling better for everyone? I will home school no matter what, but I also want my kids to love it as much as I do. So I make sure they experience all of the perks that home schooling has to offer, keep most of the learning FUN, and yet make sure they are disciplined with certain aspects of their schooling too. My kids LOVE being home schooled, and they say so with enthusiasm to anyone who asks. Especially those who say, &quot;Hey, aren&#39;t you supposed to be in school today?&quot; My favorite answer....&quot;We are.&quot; <br /> Best wishes! I&#39;ll be trying to keep following for sure! Remember....it&#39;s not ALL up to YOU. God;s grace is a gift you can always count on. :)Laura @ Our House of Joyful Noisehttp://www.ourhouseofjoyfulnoise.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733704.post-18976223601207149372010-09-19T00:01:05.970-04:002010-09-19T00:01:05.970-04:00I love your blog!

And, they will love it. They&#39;ll come around once they dig in and see how much FUN it is to go on field trips, meet a new circle of kids, become more independent... it&#39;s an amazing lifestyle. And that&#39;s exactly what it is, a lifestyle choice. One that I will never, ever regret. We have made the most amazing friends and have explored wondrous places, all which would have been impossible with any other lifestyle choice. I am so happy for you all! Thanks for the energy recharge. Keep going!Jocelynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733704.post-51950958065629493182010-09-11T12:59:21.280-04:002010-09-11T12:59:21.280-04:00Best of luck to you on your adventure!Jamiehttp://mostgladly.netnoreply@blogger.com
