I am sorry for that and I hope you have recovered well from your surgery. It is tough when mom is down when everyone depends on mom for everything :)Moms don't usually get sick days lol! It is good to share our experiences with each other. We have had a crazy year or 5 years I should add lol! Life is crazy and it is hard dealing with all the things that can come with that. But with God anything is possible. I am learning how to be with my self just as much as with my family. I look forward to great things in the future and I can only trust that my good actions will bring good things to my family. I will be blogging more and sharing more this summer and just making things better in my self first then in my family. See you around FB and a park day soon with our FB group that will be fun!!Joanne Utkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05724532965450942655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246598919499676380.post-76560395128302140372013-05-22T11:28:19.257-07:002013-05-22T11:28:19.257-07:00HI Joanne! I just left a comment but I do not see ...HI Joanne! I just left a comment but I do not see it! Well...I will leave another. I wanted you to know that I have had a super crazy year, and have determined that life is just crazy, with calms in between. I had a surgery where I had to literally sit back. During this time I saw the biggest leaps in reading with my daughter. I had been watching her go from excited to learn to compliantly obeying my wish for her to sit and work. I too felt like I had to make an adjustment to our style before it became the norm. Thank goodness for our online Homeschooling community. So many supportive articles...and a chance to be there for each other! Thank you for sharing your journey!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09533603751992067112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246598919499676380.post-37611003382410239152013-05-22T11:20:11.139-07:002013-05-22T11:20:11.139-07:00Hi Joanne! I have been through alot lately myself....Hi Joanne! I have been through alot lately myself. Surgery, death, and the normal everyday doldrums as well. It was at my weakest that my daughter did her biggest leaps in learning. I had to sit back, literally...lol. She made huge leaps in reading and math, just by exploring the things we had in the house. I went independent because I could see her heading into the slump of hating school. She was being more obedient then motivated. I am not trying to create a compliant learner (oxy moron?) but a motivated one! This online community of homeschoolers has your back!
