Adventure-learning to be Out of Our Element

    Having that overwhelm feeling and being out of your element. Feeling like maybe something should of not been said or something that should of been said. I love homeschooling though to be honest with you I am out of my element when it comes to groups and so many times I feel like that I should come armed with a notebook of what to say. Yes, that is what I felt tonight even before getting there I was overwhelmed in dealing with construction and finding where in the world it was being held at.

I love seeing my friends though oh my do I feel out of my element being in a group setting...k and I have been working on that lately trying to get involved in large group activities and overcoming that fear. I am finding out that my little lady is very much like her mom in personality and gets overwhelmed in groups.  This is one of those times that handing the reigns over to God is nearly impossible for us to do.  We fight him tooth and nail, crying and screaming all the way.  We rather be writing everything and not speaking it out loud.

My major crisis tonight was figuring out what to say..When this question came up...What curriculum do you use?  Oh boy, How do you say I don't really use one.  I tell you there is no other words to put it right now I have not felt the use to dive in and commit to one or two curriculum.  Our curriculum has been what has fallen in my lap this week...now granted I do love many of the lessons from Old Schoolhouse though a lot of our lessons lately have come across my desk through many different resources.  Maybe I should come up with a name for my mismatched curriculum, I keep thinking I should. Then I look at my daughter and think you know her and I have learned a lot, grown a lot and overcame a lot of fears and frustrations, Thanks to the Lord for giving us this opportunity and it works the best for us in our little world.
