First Day of School
The day has come.
The hour is almost upon us.
Control will reign again.
I think we're ready for a little bit of structure. We've had a wonderfully busy, enjoyably chaotic summer. The girls have played, traveled, helped, volunteered and grown in more ways than one. I wouldn't trade any minute. I feel confident about the upcoming year. Last year I was a wreck. I don't know why I let our first year of high school for the teen, freak me out. This year I'll be a cucumber (cool. Get it? lol)
Little one has her Hello Kitty notebook and folders (also her joke book for 'down' times apparently lol), Teen one has her original 1970's fabric covered binder I scored at a garage sale this weekend. We're all set. Schoolwork amazingly fits into 1 box, for now.
As soon as the work starts to roll in, they'll need separate school book boxes. I'm craving The Desk Apprentice a homeschooling blog recently told me about (can't remember which one but when I remember I'll let you know.) Maybe when my ship comes in I'll buy two.
Anyway, wish us luck as we venture forth into another year of the unknown. Tomorrow is the day. The 1st day of our 8th year of homeschool. We may not know where the year will lead us, but we know God is in charge of it all.

Good luck and happy homeschooling! I'm a nervous wreck this year, just don't know how we'll get everything done.
We'll start homeschooling next month. We buy the books at the start of September and it takes 3 or 4 days for them to get here.
tell the elder to keep an eye on that folder--i'm feeling a little
covetous, and while i'm breaking that commandment, i might as well swipe it, too, right??? ;)
