Not knowing your schedule is hard. Any idea what the holdup is?

We've had some adjustment problems with homeschooling, LMom. Thanks for asking! smile

DS8 doesn't handle transitions terribly well, and it isn't helping that I'm working him a bit harder this year. He's used to having his mornings pretty free during the school year (and his whole days free during the summer!), but that's not going to happen this year because two days a week he'll (also!) be in a private "school for homeschoolers." As that is mostly social and "edu-tainment," rather than work on his core courses, AND as he is interested in doing lots of extracurricular stuff this year (computer programming, animation, Arabic and piano), we just need more time for work.

I think we haven't found our balance yet, so there has been more whining and foot-dragging from DS8 than I was hoping for. But I'm adjusting and so is he. I hope next week will be better. I think once the school starts up after Labor Day, that will help, too.

One foot in front of the other, right?

I'm glad Hsing is easier on you, mamaandmore. That's a good thing! laugh
