2E kids are no joke. We have a stretch of pretty good days, and then a string of days where I want to send him back to school. Just to get him out of my hair. Honestly? This may sound selfish but the best strategy I have found is for me to see what my needs are to be happy and to do those things. For me, I need a little quiet time, a little reading, outside time, and exercise daily. Do I get all of that daily and still homeschool well? Nope. It's a balance. But if we need to be with these kids all day long most days, we need to also take care of ourselves. It's certainly not all sunshine and roses. I like to compare it to what it was like last year (in public school) and that always helps me to have perspective. Is it perfect? Heck no. Is it better? MUCH. Hang in there!
