I can't believe my kids go back to school in just over 2 weeks! I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by it all. I mean, they haven't been to school (not real, public school) in about 2 years. They are excited and nervous. I'm nervous that I've taught them well enough! No teachers to blame here, if I haven't. I've been making them review their math and read every day. Hopefully I didn't do too bad.
I'm excited to have a little more time to myself, but I'm sad too. We've had some really good times homeschooling! It's a ton of work and takes more patience than I had some days, but I would have never read the Odyssey if it weren't for them, even if it was an abridged version. I learned more about Ancient Egypt and Mesopatamia and Africa than I ever imagined. We took some amazing field trips, had some incredible discussion and discovered so many things together. It has been the hardest thing, between a new baby, a toddler facing all sorts of issues and trying to keep up with three bright children, the last few years have been...well...interesting.
I know they are going to do great on their new adventure. And I'm loving my design work which will be nice to have some quiet time in the day to devote to it. Not to mention that maybe my house will stay clean for more than 10 minutes at a time! I'm just hoping that between evenings, weekends and school breaks, we can continue our amazing adventures!

I am freaking out over Haden going to kindergaren, I can't imagine sending 3 to school!! ACK!! I am positive you have taught them well, and that they will adjust and fit in just fine. Your kids are such amazing kids, that I think they will do just fine!
I am looking forward to the school year also. I am always ready for the schedule-free summer, but now I am excited to get them back to a more structured life. I'm sure your kids will love public school-although you were their best teacher!
Summer has flown by! Probably especially for you with moving and all. Enjoy some quiet time, you deserve it.
