Between the schooling and the increased cooking and cleaning, I feel a lot busier than I used to. I've switched from teaching preschoolers 3 days a week to teaching my own kids 5 days a week. (My 10th and 5th graders are pretty independent, but my special needs 8th grader needs a lot of support to stay on task, adult assistance with handwriting, etc.) I had visions of all the fun family time we'd have while staying home and ideas for all the scrapping and home projects I'd do, but I'm kinda laughing at myself now. All complaining aside, I feel so lucky that we have paychecks coming in and that all 5 of us are able to stay home!
