Thankful Thursday 54

Back on August 28, I wrote a Thankful Thursday post about our new school adventure.

It was exciting.

It was different.

It was the start of a grand adventure.

The girls and I set off into the unknown land of online learning, and we really liked what we saw.

Still do.

It is a fun curriculum, the girls love their online class connect sessions, and we really like being able to do school in our pajamas.

The one thing that has thrown me for a loop?

It is one of the hardest things I have ever taken on in my life.

I knew it would be a challenge.

I knew it would take a while to find a good groove.

I did not expect to still be looking for our groove two months into it.

I know that we will get there, someday.

In the meantime, I am trying to keep it all together.

Some days are better than others, but that can be said for just living life in general.

There are a few things that I am really grateful for, and those are the things I am holding on to while I figure all of the rest of the stuff out....

1.  Our relationship is deepening.  The girls are becoming better friends and I am learning so much more about them.

2.  I love to celebrate with them when they "get" things.  When they get 100% on a test, or finally have the lights come on when a concept suddenly makes sense.

3.  I love taking them with me on our "Grandma Lunch Days".  These will be priceless memories for them when the grandmas have passed on.

I just have to remind myself to breathe and everything will be alright.
