This is a new series here on my blog. I’m very excited about it. And a little bit afraid. You see, I keep reading online and hearing from other moms about how homeschooling families must be different…they must be brilliant, the homeschool mom must have all this patience, the homeschool mom must be uber-organized…and on and on.
I’m here today {with this new series} to tell you the truth.
Case and point #1: the above picture is my school room at 8am this morning. What is worse? It looks like this very often. You see that table? How in the world do we do school on it? ha! Not to mention those chicks in that box that are way.too.big to still be in that box!
This homeschool mom {and so many others like me} don’t have our acts together. We aren’t as patient with our kids as we need to be, we don’t have the organizational skills of Martha Stewart. In fact, most days my husband comes home and I tell him that I just can’t do this another day.
And most of all, we are in desperate need of His new mercies…every day, every morning…every single moment.

Come back next week for another real picture of our homeschool life.
