I feel very seen in this. Our homeschool rhythm grounds me but I’ve been floundering hard the last week or two. I think today I finally realized that I had this expectation that since we were done with school I would have “nothing to do” and “all this free time” with 5 kids under 9 at home all summer. LOL. Once I said it out loud I realized why I’m so frustrated. We will be doing different things all summer. I will have *maybe* a small amount more free time (that is being spent on a syllabus for our co-op) 😂 Expectations. Tripping us all up since forever...
I'm glad it resonated with you, Annelise. And this: "Expectations. Tripping us all up since forever...". This sums up a large chunk of my frustrations. Thanks for a peek into your summer.
