yes, that time of year again!!!

Dang! can you believe school has been in session for over 2 weeks now and i have not had the time( too busy making wild blackberry jam and starting new knitting projects!!!) to post my freaking out woman picture yet. it is customary on my blog to have a minor freak out when school starts again as i realize all my "good intentions" of catching up over the summer has fallen thru the wayside once again.


it's usually centering around math. who the hell wants to do math over the summer????? only the twisted and insane! so i post a picture of how i feel about this. For those of you that don't know- i homeschool. down to one child now. 8th grade math makes my brain hurt!!! have you figured it out? i am numerically challenged. have been all my life! during the school year- i have a math tutor to help us out. i attend these tutoring sessions as well- so that maybe just maybe my brain can grasp these alien unattainable concepts.

that time of year!

Yes folks it's that time of year again. it's the time when i post an image of a screaming woman. happens every year.

i post this picture because it's how i feel-totally overwhelmed! it's the time of year when i'm suppose to be organized, on top of things, ready to go-yes, it's the beginning of a new school year. don't get me wrong-i love homeschooling. it's just that...i have such good intentions of keeping up with things - just a little bit over the summer so when this time of year comes around again we are not hit with a mac truck. does it ever happen? NOOOOOO! and it's amazing how much is lost over those few summer months- now, how do i hold a pencil? what's 8x7? how do you spell...... it's like starting over. our brain is like a muscle-and when you stop exercising it-it get's flabby, out of shape-it loses power!!! so we gotta get our brains back in shape. i'm only schooling one now, but 7th grade starts getting hard and my brain needs a super workout!!! i need to get out of my brain fog. so here's to getting organized, blowing away the fog and doing it in a non stressful, positive, happy sort of way. wish me luck.
