Creating a new normal

:I have been super busy with work lately. And I love what I do. I do media events for my company and my passion is talking to the parents. Understanding the stories and helping them. Working in this field gives me a sense of purpose beyond my amazing kids. And still be able to create my own schedule and not interfere with my babies.

So homeschooling is our new normal. We have story time and breakfast in the morning, then there is get groomed time/chores time. After that we spend a few hours doing schoolwork on the time for learning program. It has English, science, math and social studies. After this we have lunch then what ever the extra study is for that day. Mondays are music, Tuesdays are gym day which can either being park, or kid n play for that time, Wednesdays are library day so we go to Clarksville library which has a great play area as well as books and movies for kids. We let them pick one movie each and as many books as they want. Thursdays are art and crafts. We take them to location and let them draw, paint, sometimes we work with clay and make things. Fridays are Wiccan studies. For those who don't  know we are Wiccan and for me I feel its important to be able to teach them what it is in a lower setting. We are more nature based. The goddess is mother earth and god is father time as i explain to the kids. Some schools have religion studies and i figured why cant we? Its our own school we can do what we want as long as the kids have fun. And Aries and Arielle are loving all of this. Even Ally gets to be in story time and the music and such going on that day.

Anyway my workout alarm is about to go off.
