Better now...

Well, we have a few weeks of homeschooling under our belts and it's going much better. I stopped trying to fill the entire morning with stuff, but realized that we really can get it all done in a couple hours and that's OK. I also learned that it's sometimes a very good idea to stop in the middle of what we're doing, put on our shoes and take a walk. When attention spans are non-existant and the attitude goes south, a change of scenery and some fresh air does a world of good! For everyone involved!
