The "STRESS" of planning our new school year...

Hello everyone!!! Im back...*LOL*


I took some time off to relax and enjoy the summer with the kids...sports, cook-outs,  the pool... What fun!!!


We took a trip to Charleston with the Boy Scouts and toured and slept on the Yorktown.. DS gained an appreciation for all the aircraft he saw and even talked about "when I grow up, I want to be a _____"  while we were there and on the way home... I think the Navy really impressed him....


But it is that timeagain to plan out the school year... I get nervous every year and worry that maybe I am not prepareing them well enough or that they will miss something in their education because of my lack of planning... I sometimes like to wing things on certain topics... It really stresse me and I am hoping to actually get some great ideas from FIAR friends and take their advise and just relax... *S*


Does anyone else feel this way? And if you do, what do you do about it?


And please share your plan...I welcome all kinds of ideas on different planning methods and schedules...


Have a great week!!

  1. You can see my back to school part I and II at my blog. They are a few entries down. I used to get very nervous but than I started setting goals for my children. I limit myself to what if I could only meet one goal this year and set that one. Than I add more and more. Once I have about 6 goals per kid, I put everything else on the wish list. It cuts down alot on my stress load. Also, your kids will learn what they need to know by adulthood. The public school may teach more than some of us but the kids don't really get take it all in.

    Blessings,
