I live my life in "tweets". For real. Day in, day out. For example, yesterday, after a quick stop for milk, I treated myself & kiddos to Sonic. We went home to eat (remember the milk?) Before I had eaten my lunch I had done all of the following: changed a diaper, wiped a hiney ( a different one), unloaded the car, put up the groceries, put on a bandaid, fed a baby and cleared off a table. This was in between bites. Don't get me wrong- I love my children and wholeheartedly accept the unique challenges that a big family presents. However, being forced to be ADD is one thing- choosing it is quite another!
One thing that I have been doing to keep my self busy is preparing for next school year. We are using a curriculum that we have used before for history, we are just going to use all of it this year. It incorporates history, geography, lit, writing, vocabulary, world view, fine arts and philosophy to name a few! I have really appreciated the webinars offered on topics like lesson planning, teaching a houseful, teaching writing and teaching highschool. The webinars are about an hour long each so this feels like a treat when in reality I am prepping for school! No ADD here! I have also enjoyed tracking down all of the books we need- an excuse to spend hours at the used bookstore :) I included a button to it: Tapestry of Grace. It is my plan to post links to my other favorite homeschool resources soon.
Ok, so I could be painting or weeding my flower beds, but with Lance's busy schedule, these are harder to do by myself.
Oh well, those things won't matter in eternity, and the attention that the kids education gets will!
For those of you who don't mind the added ADDness of Twitter- Happy Tweeting!
