August has been the month of putting things back together - getting back on track. I have been neglecting the blog this month in favor of Facebook and limiting my computer time to attend to household items and homeschool. As of today, we have completed five days of homeschool. This has been hard for L because she still wants summer and no structure. We're progressing though. This afternoon is her first day of volleyball camp (it only lasts four days).
We've also started a new nighttime routine. Both children (and parents) have gotten into bad habits and are starting fresh. We are trying to get M to go to sleep in his bed and stay all night. Our trip east through all sleeping habits into a tailspin. We've instituted room time where the children stay quietly in their room. The other habit to break is that Mommy and Daddy are no longer staying in the children's room until they fall asleep. M and L are to fall asleep on their own. The first two nights of this experiment worked well - the children earned all their hearts (our incentive chart reward). The last two...well, let's say they're close but not 100%. We shall continue and persevere through this and the children (and parents) will be happier for our faithfulness to the program!
I honestly feel that all I ever do is try to catch up: on laundry, on housecleaning, on paying bills, on discipline, on organization, on ministry, on everything...Will there ever be a day when it is all said and done? The answer is YES! When I'm in heaven with my Lord and Savior! Until then, I shall continue through!
