Assignment:
"As homeschoolers, we all have 'one of those days' every now and then. Sometimes there isn’t even a sickie in the house. Sometimes mom is drained or burned out and feeling run down. Sometimes there are other medical or health issues that are interfering with our best laid-out plans…
So do we give up and give in? Do we change the plans to make them more flexible?
I’d love to hear about the ideas that some of you have, the stories that you all can tell - about days that were less than perfect because someone “came down with a bug”, but successes anyway. Are you a “carschooler” when there are doctor appointments to attend? Are you a “bedschooler” when life lays you up? Or do you have a “sick day” schedule that you follow - a “rainy day idea can” that you dip in to?
What happens at your house when life throws a schedule curve?
Share your story with all of us moms who need a little encouragement."
I’ve been thinking about doing one of these Homeschool Memoirs for a while. This one seemed appropriate to start with since we’ve had a lot of sickness so far in 2009, and last fall I had a terrible time with nausea in my first trimester of pregnancy. So I have lots of experience with sick days this school year.
