When I previously said that attitude is everything, I was referring to myself as much as the boys. I woke up on the wrong side of the log bed today and it just so happened to fall on the first day of homeschool co-op classes. It also fell on a day when we had some catch-up work to do after taking it easy for Jeremy’s birthday. Great timing!
Each boy is taking two classes with the co-op, which provides socialization and classroom instruction for them and two hours of some version of downtime for me. I’m required to do one hour of service while I’m there, which boils down to hall monitoring the kids who aren’t in class. Because my attitude was so poor, I kept one eye on the kids in the gym and the other eye on the iPad. I’m getting really good at Angry Birds.
Now we’ve reached midday and I’m wrapping up schoolwork for now. It’s been a battle. My patience is thin and one particular boy needs to chill out before I hang him out to dry. This is the luxury of homeschooling, I tell myself. Stop now and start again later.
A five-mile run should sort me out swiftly.
