We have survived the first week back to school. You should know this looks something like my 9-year-old crying every morning because he is not ready to wake up and crying in the evening because he hates homework, my 12-year-old falling asleep on the couch by 6pm and melting down when I have to work the weekend, and me sitting here typing this as piles of books lay at my feet because I impulsively cleared every shelf in the homeschool room to transition it back to a library. We are works in progress. I should also tell you that they love school. They love making friends, being independent, and exploring this world through a fresh perspective. They are happy, and that is all this mama heart needs to know. If you need me, I will be furiously knitting socks while I ignore these book piles.
