Wow! It’s been a while since I have blogged. I am not sure why it has taken me so long to get back to blogging except for the usually crazy life I live.
I am still try to manage my time better. Sometimes I feel like I need another me. Specifically another me that has great organization and time management skills. I guess that really would be me at all would it.
The kids have been in school for a few months now. Things are going ok so far. My kids are doing very well in school and hope to keep it that way. The life of a homeschooling parent is not for the faint of heart. There are times I question why I am doing this and feel like quitting. But right now I think this is the best choice for my kids. My kids are learning how to be self-starters and hard workers. What more could I ask for?
I was having a conversation with a friend the other day and we were talking about children being well balanced. Someone once described my oldest daughter as well balanced. I thought that was a great compliment.
My children are intelligent, creative, well behaved, energetic, self-confident, daring, quiet and many more great qualities that make a well-balanced child. Don’t get me wrong though, my kids have their share of faults but I have discovered that if we strive to offer our kids ways to express themselves in many different ways they have a better chance of having diverse interests and talents.
When I think back to how my parents raised me they always where very supportive of my dreams but also encouraged me to develop intellectually as well as creatively. They also told me I could be anything I wanted to be. Not until recently did I realize how important those words are to me as an adult. My parents instilled in me the belief that if I work at I can do anything I want to do.
