the end and a the beginning

So we are nearing on the last few weeks of home school. I'm relieved. I HATE that im relieved, I started out home school thinking it was gonna be fun and easy (cause my daughter was entering kindergarten), but what i wasn't prepared for was the stress, the anger the pure not-wanting-to-do-it-dom.

But i am going to be better next year.
Yes i am doing it again.
And i will learn from my past mistakes. 

First mistake was thinking i could do it in the living room.
So what im going to do this summer is re-do the junk room.
My project is to turn it into a school room. that way her baby brother is out of her hair and its in a quite place.

Second
I will do more fun projects.
I just got married.
I know, i took on homeschool, and a wedding in the same year......Didn't totally think that one through, ill be honest. 
But I now can be totally invested in homeschool,which means more time for fun projects. Science class outside, Social studies dress up projects, and just more! 

Third
I will turn off every electronic I own.
This is for me. 
I'll start reading a book while she is working, and then ill get mad when she interrupts me. Or a show. Or whatever. That should not happen. 

Four
if she doesn't understand something that i previously taught her i shouldn't get upset. I should stop what we are doing and do a mini lesson. That way she understands and there's no anxiety about me getting upset. 

Five
I will have me time.
I will take my hoop and my levi wand and i will play outside, by myself, with my music.
I think if I do this I will be happier with myself and it will Improve my outlook on different situations.


So i start this blog, and i intend to keep track of my progression. So maybe this well hold me to it. Wish me luck!!
