I'm Not On Schedule – BooHoo!!
Schedules always look so good on paper. I dont feel Im being unrealistic in what I expect of my children in a day. Im following Ambleside Onlines plans for all my children. But somehow, at least when it involves our homeschool, my plans go awry.
Many times my husband will have the children work with him doing construction type jobs. Excellent learning experience. But, how do I balance this with the schoolwork needing to be done?
We started this years school the last week in July. I did this because of past experiences of running behind schedule. Even with starting early, I have some of my children still finishing their 3rd week of school. Ugh!
We do school year-round and believe me it takes every bit of the year plus a bit more to finish. Im not so concerned with most of the subjects since my children learn so much just by being interested in the world around them, but its subjects like math and writing that bother me.
It seems as if we are always doing catch-up. Does anyone else have this problem? 
I am open to any advice or solution you send my way.

Of course you can add me 🙂
I have no real wisdom on the schedule issue except to tell you that my day never looks like the schedule on paper either. Never. With six children there are just too many variables. But the backbone structure that a schedule provides is worth it to me so I perservere!
