Planning, planning, planning! It’s the time of year I am planning out the coming school year but this year is so much more! I am also planning a big graduation/July 4th party. AND…. I am finally planning the book launch! Homeschooling When Learning Isn’t Easy is going to the printer this week! PLANNING!
First I got an unusually early jump start on buying next year’s curriculum. That will be helpful. I know what planner I want and I have planner ideas to make it even more special. (prepping a video series of my scheduling of several kids with special needs to help you see how it can be done!)
Second I am budgeting and planning and prepping for a graduation party that is coming too fast! The party is coming faster than I thought and the list of To-Do things seems like it is getting bigger rather than shrinking. It’s like going away for the weekend and when you get home you swear the house is messier than when you left.
Finally the book launch! I am going to open pre-order book sales when the book is printing (that way I am sure of when I can deliver!). Meanwhile I am getting the Kindle and Barnes and Nobles and Mac ebook versions ready to go.
Lord willing now that I am home from the hospital I will be able to do a soft launch of the ebook and start a Pre-order sale when the book is in printing! I will keep you updated.
I am not the most organized homeschooler or homemaker out there but I have such limited energy and hubby is my partner working side by side now. We need planning. We need a menu, a homeschooling schedule and a business schedule. Life changes and I am learning to change with it. So I am reading planning and scheduling posts, FB comments, even watching how others schedule their lives and work from home schedules online.
I think planning will be helpful. Time to structure our lives a bit more and get our year round homeschooling life back up and running.
