A few weeks ago I posted about how hard Mondays were for us. Mostly, because Sundays are SO long and many Saturdays are busy...we are just plain tired by the time Monday rolls around. My mom emailed me after I posted last time and suggested we take Mondays as our day of rest. What? I can do that? Yes I Can! I think I just needed permission...or someones suggestion to do it without feeling like a homeschool mom failure. (There is a lot of pressure on homeschool parents to NOT mess up - coming from ourselves and those who watch us with critical eyes just waiting for an opportunity to tell us why homeschooling is "harmful" to our kids).
The last several weeks we have had no school on Mondays...and it's been WONDERFUL!!! I think we just needed a day to, well, rest. Another reason I love homeschooling...it's flexible. So, I just want to say thank you to my mom for suggesting we take a day off. Because my mom suggested it, I don't feel guilty for doing it!
