That is why we have families, isn't it? It is easy to get caught up in the typical mindset that our children's education is about the papers they complete and the tests they pass. At home, we offer them so much more.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the encouragement that none of us are perfect and for the reminder that life is about so much more than the external accomplishments.Learning Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140422740725139483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031039427657643447.post-38718787613429002632008-12-11T15:17:00.000-06:002008-12-11T15:17:00.000-06:00Your post was both sad and uplifting.

But I like how you emphasise family over schedule when things get hectic or complicated. I have to admit, when I'm forced to ease expectations, the children start to do better, and so do I! Maybe that's something to keep in mind even when things are going smoothly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031039427657643447.post-83405867074660135292008-12-11T13:15:00.000-06:002008-12-11T13:15:00.000-06:00Wonderful!

I wondered how many children couldn't concentrate on schoolwork because they were thinking about a puppy they'd left at home, a new baby sister or brother, or their parent's pending divorce."

Sometimes "doing it all" doesn't mean "caught up on lessons or Housework". Praise the Lord that we are in a position to face the trials with our arms AROUND our loved ones. Sometimes "doing it all"...means crying, comforting, praying, strengthening, hunkering down and DEALING with the stuff that REALLY needs to be dealt with. <BR/><BR/>Love you, my friend,<BR/>StackStackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16798112228269033904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031039427657643447.post-74735713422339924452008-12-04T16:16:00.000-06:002008-12-04T16:16:00.000-06:00Love your post.

You about brought me to tears because I'm just coming off a very bad month where we didn't school for 2-3 wks due to an unexpected health issue for me. I lost my eyesight for a few days and took the rest of the time to regain my vision fully & eventually be w/o pain. I'm in the midst of a big fibromyalgia attack right now. The holiday pressure is upon us too. Cantatas, decorations, company, parties....uh.<BR/><BR/>I love and will take to heart that you said a homeschool mom takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. That is SOOO true. <BR/><BR/>Do we really need spelling lessons? LOL That's what spell-check is for, right? LOL<BR/><BR/>My condolances to your family & may God bless you richly for being an encourager to us other moms.Southern Latitudeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16081768534055280959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031039427657643447.post-28710857773316945132008-12-04T10:57:00.000-06:002008-12-04T10:57:00.000-06:00I think your definition of success is a good thing...I think your definition of success is a good thing to consider for every aspect of life... because every situation in life requires grace.<BR/><BR/>Great post.<BR/><BR/> ~LukeLuke Holzmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07799632321310461828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031039427657643447.post-71523732652721185452008-12-03T19:23:00.000-06:002008-12-03T19:23:00.000-06:00I am so sorry for all of your losses.
