School Daze

Thankfully, my husband agreed to another year of home-schooling, with the agreement in place that we would review each year and decide if home schooling was still the best option or not.

Now, of course, I've returned to that state of feeling almost helplessly adrift, trying to pick appropriate curriculum for the shortly arriving school year. Adding to the stew is guilt over being late in this chore, even though being laid out with pregnancy sickness is a legitimate reason for not getting things done on time. On top of that, the house is a horrible, terrible mess (not just filled with clutter, but actual dirt at this point) and I haven't been able to tackle it for the same reason. At least I know the school work is (theoretically) something I can handle even with being sick, since I can always set him up with a little desk next to my bed so I can teach and rest at the same time.

Gah. If only I were someone to whom organization and cleaning came naturally... so many things to do, and all I want to do is hide under the covers and hope it all goes away!
