I've got a secret. I have been afraid to say anything for fear that putting it out there would ruin the magic. My secret-The first week of school went incredibly well and week 2 is off to a great start, too.
To paraphrase what a friend of mine posted on facebook recently-in my head my school days look like me dancing and singing like Julie Andrews on the mountaintop aka The Sound of Music. So not the reality But this year, for me, something is different. Things have not gelled this well since the year we started homeschooling. Is it maturity (theirs and mine)? The alignment of the planets? A butterfly flapped it's wings in Africa? Just a magic moment in time? I don't know and I don't want to look to hard because I am enjoying it.
I am relishing this sweet spot in our homeschooling adventure. I am trying to live in the moment and not analyze what I am doing. I know if I look to closely I will think "I can replicate this and make it happen every day." I also know that there is no way I can make this happen over and over. It is a moment. A moment that much sweeter because I know in my heart of hearts that it is fleeting and impossible to capture.
