So how come no one warns you when you start homeschooling that you are going to be tired? Not physically tired, but mentally tired. We have finished another week and things are going well. But I hit friday and it's like my brain is working in very, very slow mode.
I have the answer. I just need to stop thinking for a while. My brain hasn't had to do this much thinking for 13 years. After having the three kids, there isn't as much brain power as there used to be. So I'll just give it a break for a while, let it rest up a bit.
So when my brain restarts itself, it will hopefully be monday :)

The great thing about homeschooling is that if you need a break, you can take one. You can chose to work ahead or slow down a little. We homeschool 6 days a week.. Monday through Saturday.. but we do not go as many hours as most people do each day. By doing our school 6 days a week it is less of a burnout, which almost seems like it would be reversed. Anyway you are going great so far!! Keep it up!
