Letting Go

One thing I have a hard time with is letting go of something I think I should be doing. I struggle with my schedule since I work a full 40 hour work week. That being said I am out of the house more than 40 hours taking drive time and lunch into consideration.

By the time we get home, sometimes we have enough time to do "school work", read, etc. Sometimes we are rushing because there is home work, then the work I want to do with them, bath, and somewhere in there is suppose to be dinner.

In reality the kids attend a very good charter school. In fact the principal was just asked to take on another school that was going to close their doors. That is amazing!

Makaylah is blessed to be going to a great in home preschool provider. She does an amazing job with the kids and I am updated via Facebook and/or nightly when I pick her up. This last week their letter was G.



Makaylah can even now write a few letters on her own without tracing!






So I think at night my focus should be reading with my girls. This is one area that Arianna needs improvement in and both girls love it. Just making sure homework is done can be a challenge, no need to add any stress to any of us trying to fit in other things.

I was going to add things in the weekends, but sometimes our weekends fill up fast with dance classes, birthday parties, meetup events, and just visiting with family. I think all three of the girls get enough at school/preschool and homework they are doing ok without anything additional from me.


This way we are able to fully enjoy our weekend and get our chores done and not stress out about anything else.

This all being said from time to time we will work on things, because the girls love it! But it wont be scheduled, and I won't have a deadline, it's when we are able to fit it in. I still wish I could homeschool, but until I don't have to work (which won't be anytime soon lol) that is not an option we are going to pursue, and sometimes it is hard to just let go.
