It shouldn't amaze me how God is so right, but the little details are always a delight. He says for me to be a keeper of the home, and you know, since changing our lives for me to be AT home most of the time, it has been so much less stressful. Maybe it is due to my season of life, but the slower pace of being here doing school all day, every day, is wonderful. We know what to expect each day, and I'm not running all over the place, which tires me quickly. There is just less chaos when we are not getting out the door time and again. Disruptions to school are minimal, so we are getting loads of work done without the needless anxiety.
What has really helped us with our school is not only a schedule with time allowances for the work to be finished, but loading the week so that Monday-Wednesday we are home getting the vast majority of work in. God has blessed so that we can do sewing and piano on Thursday and make up that time lost for academics on Friday. Getting the bulk of work done early in the week also allows for the occasional field trip on Friday (if they have notice so can work ahead) or a more leisurely day.
Something I really like about no longer doing Classical Conversations in the group setting is that we can do math 5 days per week. That has been a burden for years. It is tough to get fully through a curriculum with math only 4 days per week.
