First Day Back

I have been planning for several weeks now to start back to school today.  In fact, while I was sick I wrote lesson plans for the next three weeks.  (GO ME!) We took most of December off and so I knew that we would have to hit it hard once we started back so that we are not doing school during summer time.  However, due to being sick over the holiday, and sleep cycles being way off track, we got a late start this morning.  I knew I probably should have put off starting til tomorrow, but I was so determined to get school done today.  So, after lunch we sat at the table...and I realized pretty quick it was not going to be fun! You would have seriously thought my kids had not spent a day of their life in school! They had forgotten everything they knew and did not want to relearn it!  BUT I WAS DETERMINED TO FINISH!!  By the end both kids had cried at some point, I am pretty sure a chunk of my hair fell out, the boy told me his arm was going to fall off so he couldn't work anymore, broke 2 pencils, and the girl had fallen out of her chair more than once!  Needless to say, as painful as it was (and it was literally painful at some points).....we had our first day back and I am praying tomorrow is better!
