Busy day...

One thing about homeschooling that I despise is not being able to keep a schedule.  I really thought that homeschooling would allow us the freedom to go and do whenever we want.  While that's true, it wrecks havoc on the rest of our day.  If we do anything in the morning (dr. visit, dentist, library, etc...) it is almost impossible to have a normal school day when we get home.  I will admit that I can get easily distracted so I'm completely to blame for this, but man, it's hard!  Today we had dentist appointments for both girls.  While we were out we popped in to visit Doug at work.  Then he asked us to go to lunch with him, which of course we accepted.  Once we got home, it was VERY difficult to sit down and complete our work.  Although I really try to keep our mornings open for school & only school, it's not reality.  Tempers flare, rebellion & disobedience rear their ugly head, I'm out of patience, school isn't getting done, etc...  I'm thankful that tomorrow is another day and we get to try again.
