3 Weeks done!

I have finished our first three weeks!

I have a decent idea of what our days will look like, and C is settling in too.  Here's what we're learning:

- Getting up and started by 8 makes a totally different day than getting up and started by 9 (although I really get my best sleep between 6-9.  I was not made for mornings).
- I am learning that I have to give up how I want homeschooling to look in favor of how homeschooling will work best for C.  What worked for me is not going to work for a student who has been in public school for so long.
- Time management, for both C and I, is important!
- C is a much, much happier child now that most of his evenings are free.  He has not argued about bedtime once!  My husband loves the difference.
- Dogs are a real hindrance to homeschooling.  If I had a dollar every time I'll have to say "stop playing with *insert dog's name here* and pay attention" in the next few months, D could quit work.
- Couponing will really help our grocery budget.  More on that later....
- Homeschooling, for us, really is better.  I think C has learned as much if not more these past few weeks than he would have in public school, and we're doing in a setting that is better for the emotional health of us all.
