So.....its been awhile, but here I am! This blogging thing is harder than it looks. I read once that if you're going to blog you have to do it everyday to create the habit to blog. At the time I thought that was a little extreme, and what on earth would I say everyday anyway, but I now think that they might have been right! Can't remember by the way who the "they" were, but I swear I read it somewhere. Anyway, on with it!
Yesterday was the first day of school for all of Fountain Hills and I have to say that I have mixed feelings about the beginning of school pretty much every year. Here's the deal, I love being a home-school mom...I do, but I am more than a little envious of the free time other stay at home moms look forward to as they watch their kiddos toddle into school five days a week. This thought is usually followed by another thought. I know I would feel a tremendous amount of guilt going against everything I am convinced is so right about homeschooling for "our family". I stress the "our family" thing so no one gets all huffy like I think homeschooling is for everyone. I know this isn't so. I have to imagine that that guilt alone would keep me from really enjoying my free time, but still the thought is present and so very real! I mean, I can still think back to all I am able to get done in the few hours they are away at vacation bible school. Alas, I will settle for a glass of wine at the end of the day on the patio with a friend. It's amazing what just a little time to yourself will do.
After all, I really wouldn't trade all the time I get to spend with my most precious asset, my babies. Maybe rather than day dreaming about sending them to school, I should be researching how to become a super hero! That would certainly fix all of the "not enough hours in the day" issues right?
