One of those days...

It's one of those days...

We're between materials from cyberschool. This means that for the past week (going on 2 now) I've been searching online for work for my daughter to do. It's been really hard to find anything worth doing so we've only been doing about 30 minutes of work each day. Now after a busy weekend, I've reached a point where I just want to curl up on the couch and chill. After all, what difference is 30 minutes of schoolwork going to make today? So, here we are, enjoying a day off.

That's one of the greatest benefits of homeschooling year around though. We take days off when we need them, not when the school district tells us to take them. Of course, there are times when we take more time off than at other times. Like this week we won't be doing a whole lot. Between me being bloody tired today and my daughter's birthday being Thursday, we'll probably only do about 3 days of school this week. However, come Thanksgiving time or winter/spring break, we'll probably be doing school while others are enjoying a break.

In the end, I'm sure this all works out but I do feel guilty sometimes. Today is one of those days that I'm feeling a bit of the guilt but not feeling as though I can do much about it. So, I'm putting the thought aside and chilling out instead.
