to Homeschool"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Today marks our official journey back to homeschooling after our baby break. \u00a0And while we&#8217;ve all enjoyed the relaxed (but busy) days as we have settled into life with Pipsqueak, I have to admit I&#8217;m looking forward to getting back to a little more of a routine where hopefully the kids will all stop driving my crazy with their arguing and being rotten to each other.<\/p>\n<p>But unfortunately, I feel wildly unprepared to jump back in to it because I had big plans to get a lot done in preparation and I unfortunately didn&#8217;t get any of it done.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t get the kindergarten and 2nd grade standards printed up nor did I read through them to assess where the girls are in their journeys.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t get more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondmommying.com\/blog\/2015\/04\/08\/reading-response-cards\/\">reading response cards<\/a> printed up for Honeybun nor has Sugarplum read to us every day like I told her she needed to.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t get any book units sorted out for all the classics I want to read with my children.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t get their recording sheets printed up to keep track of their work completed and progress.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t get all our new materials and supplies I snatched up at the back to school sales organized.<\/p>\n<p>And we only got through 3 1\/2 chapters of\u00a0<em>The Boxcar Children<\/em> after I promised Honeybun we could read it after the baby came since we&#8217;d have lots of time while the baby nursed.<\/p>\n<p>But somehow we&#8217;ll manage, just as we always have. \u00a0We&#8217;ll bumble along and get things done and I&#8217;ll try my best to manage all the things (school, activities, cooking, laundry, more unpacking, decorating, toddler, baby, blog&#8230;). \u00a0I know the girls\u00a0will argue with everything I ask them to, as they always do. \u00a0And Doodle will bother them and drive me crazy when they actually do do what they&#8217;re supposed to. \u00a0And the baby will always need me when I&#8217;m least able to meet his needs. \u00a0And I&#8217;ll probably fail miserably at many of them but that&#8217;s life and I know we&#8217;ll come out just fine on the other end!<\/p>\n<p>But first, maybe we need to find their desks again&#8230;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9258\"
