If anyone has ever misled you that being a home educator is easy, let me lead you into the right path! It is not! I do not have time right now to give all the ins and outs of home education, but let me give just an insight to the title above, "Put Away the Old, Bring Out the New".
Our school year has been over for a little over a week. I am JUST now getting to removing the old material and putting out the new for 2011/2012 school year. I had hopes-high hopes, I might add-to have the "lockers" {12 cube bookshelf} ready to go last Wednesday, the day following Daughter #2's graduation. But life is busy and Momma fell short of the goal! Now, I already felt bad because I did not accomplish what I felt I needed to have done. But a 'friend' came over one evening last week and asked if I had redone the "lockers". When I told her no, she stated that she didn't think so, because they did not look any different than before. I could have cried, screamed, and yelled, but decided to do like I usually do and ignore it. I did decide to try to "state my case", but I kept getting cut off. Oh well, life marches on.
So, today is the day to remove and replace. I have nine scholars material to go through, and eight to replace. Some of the text books can be reused, some have been revised and need to be replaced, and some need to be stored. It really is a big job!
So, I had my lunch break, and this is my tea break! I've vented and my dining room is a mess!
