Heading back into video school

I can not tell you how wonderful Abeka has been since Covid. Last year Josie and I made it through. It went well enough that we looked it to homeschooling 🤭. I can’t still believe those words came out of my mouth. But our school started back in session at regular time and Josie wanted to go so we were at peace with sending her. 

But I would be lying if I didn’t said that occasionally I wished that she would be home with me. I mean.. after school she has homework, piano, and vision therapy. It feels like we don’t spend enough of time together. And she is growing up so fast!!  😭

So yesterday we got the email that our school decided to close down for two weeks just for a precautionary safety measure. It was just a blessing that it coincided with our Thanksgiving vacation. So we will only have to do 6 1/2 days online.

After you receive an email like that.... your mind runs all over the place.

1. Oh bummer this is really going to mess with my plans. 

2. Maybe this won’t be so bad after all.

3. Oh this is really cool ...I’ll get to sleep in and spend more time with Josie.

4.Ughh..I feel guilty actually thinking that this is a privilege to have Josie home with me...when other families are struggling to figure out how to handle all their schedules.  And other families are struggling with their health. 

5. Day two is all the days that it will take for me to want to  pull my hair out of my head and send her back to school.

 6. I am so incredibly blessed that I get to be a stay at home mom.

7.I need to STOP feeling guilty about thinking that we will enjoy this. God certainly don’t want me to sit around and whine.
