One of those days!!!

Boy it sure is hard being a mother and a teacher. I tell you, I am ready to pull my hair out with my middle child. It seems that she never wants to do anything that she is asked to do. She has been working on her penmanship homework for 1 hour......I am out of my mind. I know that I teach older kids, but I have no patience for my own child. I feel really bad, but when you talk about the fact that no 2 children are alike, that is definitely true for my children.

My older one is very competent and works well with direction. The middle child just tries me for all I am worth. I wish that things were easier for her, but they are not. Some days are just like this. I hope tomorrow will be better.

Very Relaxing

I was pleasantly pleased today to have PN Board end early. I was able to come home and grill outside with the children. Sometimes it just feels overwhelming when teaching and being a mother. SOmetimes it just feels that teaching takes up so much time that I feel that I neglect my own children. Most of the time I am meeting with other parents or tutoring the children instead of spending time with my own children.

We came home and grilled outside and ate outside and then the children were able to play outside and I was able to watch.

It was so enjoyable. :-)
