This has been a loooooooooong day! We're racing to finish up the portfolio we need to send in to where Hannah's enrolled...there have been many days lately that I've wondered why we chose to get more structured this year, when it seems to go against our natural way of doing this...
...learning is so integral to every aspect of life, having to compartmentalize it, divide it, label it, & most of all, prove it has changed many things for both Hannah & I....some for the better, more for the worse...
...Still, there are benefits, things we both needed more of....routine, structure, discipline, focus...did i mention routine???
Life has a way of constantly distracting from the obligations of schoolwork, & after Wondertree, (an interest-led pro-unschooling online community where she was enrolled 2 years) she actually asked for, wanted, even needed more structure with her education this year...
...still, the freedom of learning as you go through the day, following whatever you're interested in learning about is still such a part of who she is...
...We both realize it's a matter of prioritizing, & keeping 1st things 1st...like, God! When we allow Him to lead us through our days, they're not like today, rushed through, feeling like we got little accomplished, though we were both busy almost all day long, leaving us weary, ready for bed, & dazed...
...so tomorrow, our priority is God 1st, everything else in order...& work 1st, THEN play! {Please help us, Lord!} Maybe I'll even finally get some quilting in, & be able to slow down & pick up my guitar & sing awhile with her...before it's too late to sing as loud as we want to!
