It has occurred to me lately that I do not seem to have the time to plan my homeschool days.  So, I decided to try something new.  I wake up and fix myself some tea, get back into my bed and plan my day or catch up on different school stuff the first thing in the morning for about an hour.  Enough time to finish my tea and feel a little more sane before I start my day.  I beginning to realize that I need this time so that I am a better mommy and teacher for the day. We shall see if this continues to work in my life.
