Today, I just want to take a moment to say feeling overwhelmed with homeschooling is normal, especially if this is your first year or 2 or 3. But honestly, once you get the hang of it you will feel the need to add something else to your full plate and you will be back to overwhelm. How do I know? Well, let me tell you.
I have a 14 year old son and a 12 year old daughter who have only been homeschooled. They are currently working on high school credits for their transcripts. Each has their own side hustle business and very passionate about several hobbies. We enjoy playing games, camping, and hunting/fishing together. That is enough right there to keep me busy. To this mix this fall, I added leading a homeschool support group out of my home, teaching 4 classes of yoga weekly, and part-time virtual teaching job where I help homeschool parents navigate homeschooling. Typing this out seems like very do-able, but in reality this mama is facing extreme overwhelm.
I did make these choices and just need to get my priorities in line and keep them that way. I also wanted to share this as a gentle reminder that no one has it together all the time.
