We started back to school last week. Phew. Just in time. Summer break was wearing me out.
We used to school basically year round because with our Charlotte Mason approach it just worked for us.
Then a son took a dual credit course and a daughter started taking piano on a college campus with college schedules. Not to mention part-time jobs... It quickly became evident that I needed to start considering schedules other than my own.
Sigh.
Everytime I get a system down that works I revel in it. I think it will work always, for all time, forever. I often think that everyone should try my fantastic new system which could bring about world peace.
Then something changes, and I flounder and fuss until I realize that once again I must tweak schedules to meet life. Not life to fit schedules.
I would have made a grand Pharisee.

Fatty Acid Oxidation Defect in Nutshell
Our two youngest children were born with a rare error of metabolism called Fatty acid Oxidation Disorder. The advent of a chronic condition in our family has required that we learn to be both flexible and consistent with our home schooling. Not an easy combo for this fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants type mom.
A special diet and a few medications enable both boys to do, learn, and play almost as if the disorder did not exist. For more info. on genetic errors of metabolism go to Fod Family Support.
