Every have a great beginning to a new school year?
One that confirms all you ever hoped about homeschooling? A day that you and your children click along and you can almost hear their brain neurons firing.... And then you wake up the next morning and catch yourself thinking, "What! I have to do it all over again for the next ___ years!?!"
Or what about a day where everything falls apart? Interruptions, missing book, tears....
Yesterday was hard. The day started with my kindergartner crying when I had to wake him up. "I'm too tired, I need to be in bed," he complained. The day ended with a different child calling some difficult German work, "Stupid." Not a word I take kindly to. Not my favorite way to end the day.
But... no matter my failings as a teacher, nor my children's failings as their own independent persons, today is the day that matters. I don't have to look ahead or behind.

Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23
