When It's All Over

Today, it may seem like an overwhelming task, being wife, mother, and teacher. It might feel like you haven't a minute to breathe. I probably feels like the road ahead is long and hard, and you don't think you'll reach the end.

Let me assure, the end will come. It really sneaks up on you. I don't know how. You spend years counting the days, logging the lessons, then out of the blue, so it seems, your youngest child is finished. School days are truly done.

For years I had ideas of what I would do with all the free time I would have after schooling was through. The irony is that, at least for me, homeschooling my children was my life. Everything revolved around it. Now that my days are free from lesson planning, checking school work, doing my daily logs, etc, I have to work at not aimlessly puttering through my days.

Encouragement From a Veteran

I have been homeschooling since 2003, and want to encourage any of you to keep on going! Everyone feels inadequate (even classroom school teachers), but God is your captain and commander in chief, and HE will help you through. Just take one year at a time, and be blessed in HIS grace.
