The Beginning? Or the End?

Well, summer has come to an end for many people. The weather this last week has confirmed the feeling for most of us too. It is rainy and cold and the first week of school.
As I feel even more and more crazy all the time, I am finding there are reasons for my choices, and answers to my questions. Jarod and William were going to be homeschooled this year, but I found I had a lot on my plate this year and with the power of prayer and answers (very loud answers) I learned that the boys needed to be in public school. I had felt fairly confident in the idea of homeschooling and was sure I would be doing it, until last Sunday night when the prospect of another duty was piled on top of my already heaping plate. I was at that point, not sure that I was going to be able to handle everything that I had planned to do. So Monday morning I said a prayer and asked what needed to be done, that I have a lot of things to do and needed to know what to do. I'd asked for the answer to be loud and clear, so I could understand it.
I had planned on starting homeschool that Monday morning and so got the kids up and fed and started. I printed assignments out for the kids to work on. Jarod was doing pretty well, he misunderstood a few questions.
William was bouncing off the walls.
Elijah was unusually demanding of my attention. ("hitting" me) "MOM! MOM! SEE THIS?!? MOM LOOK! MOM LOOK AT ME! MOM, LOOK AT THIS! MOM! MOM! MOM!"
Shiryauna is just as demanding and can't talk yet, but is definitely vocal enough to be screaming and whining and crying and fussing.
Well, I was pretty sure that was the answer. They needed to go back to public school.
I found out from a friend and my aunt/teacher that Jarod and William's names were still on the registration for the public school they usually go to.
So I called the public school to let them know to keep them on the registration. Then called the k-12 school and withdrew them from homeschool.
I felt an immense burden lifted.
Wow!
So, as I sit here typing this, Jarod and William are in school for their second day. Elijah is quietly entertaining himself, though he should be eating his pb&j sandwich. Shiryauna is fighting the high chair with her tummy, and probably not eating the sandwich pieces I gave her.
Fun, so here we go, another school year, with homework after school. My schoolwork, my business, my kids and my other motherly duties.
Is this the end or the beginning?
