After last week I was TIRED.   We had been going for eight solid weeks without a break.    

Our curriculum this year is challenging.  Couple that with  teaching piano lessons part time and  blogging (not to mention other volunteer commitments) and I have run myself ragged.

We have committed to activities for the kids that are worthy... things like children's chorus and baseball and co-op.  It, however, was just getting to be TOO MUCH.   

I gave myself permission to take a break, and that is what we did this week.   LIFE IS SHORT.   I don't want to live it frazzled and checking off boxes, but rather relaxed and enjoying the little moments of every day.

 We've completed week 8 of our homeschool year.  It was another great week of Classical studies, paired with a healthy dose of Interest Led Learning as well.   The kids are going strong with their studies, children's chorus, piano lessons, and baseball.   We are busy, but it's a happy and productive busy.   I'm so thankful for the many opportunities in our path this year.
