“There is no difference between living and learning… it is impossible and misleading and harmful to think of them as being separate.” ~ John Holt

Being home with my children for an entire week… and knowing I only have 6 days left with them….. makes me wish that every day was an unschool day… They seem to thrive to their highest levels when I work one on one with them… further excelling what I thought possible when I look at the ‘education standards’ AND it’s so easy…(time demanding and exhausting) but EASY to help them foster whatever it is they want to learn about today. yesterday. tomorrow.

I wish every day I could unschool / homeschool them. They love to teach each other… quiz each other….. praise each other….. challenge themselves…. and they are proud when they ‘get it’ …

My realization again and again…. I spend COUNTLESS HOURS prepping for ‘standards’ set by the government to teach students who (most) do not want to learn… and I should be spending even HALF the amount of time on my own children who completely ADORE the idea of learning new things…. Am I losing the race??????????????… Am I running out of time????????????????????…. I want to foster this OPPORTUNITY while they’re still young.

My #1 Job is to be their mom.. to teach them… to help them learn how to be ‘good’ people and ‘what is right’ versus ‘what is wrong’ — and allowing them to become all very different. I love every minute of my job. LOVE IT.

Oh Jeez. LiFe —- Why do you have to complicate things?!

I am loving this time in their lives. I wish I had enough time/energy/drive to record every second… every funny/cute thing they say or do…. I wish I could SLOW THIS DOWN to live it over and over because each day that passes is another day that just went by too fast.

I couldn’t ask for anything more. 3 Happy Hooligans…. Healthy, Willing to help, Driven to want to know more, Each of them is ENTIRELY different than the other.. and the mixture of us all makes my heart happy 🙂 🙂

*HAPPY DAY*
