Homeschool and Headaches

Posted by Christine Alcott Mar 30, 2007

This has been one of those weeks here in our little corner of homeschool. A week of migraines related to sinus/allergies has kept me from doing all of what I hoped to do. My kids have been sympathetic, at least. They pass by the couch where I collapse every day at pat my head and give lots of hugs!

When a homeschooling Mom has a sick day, she has to decide - school or no school. School means planning, having patience, and thinking (all hard to do when there are 1,000 jackhammers dancing in your head). No school means anchorless kids, who get bored and need entertainment. So what's a mom to do?

This is when to bring out those computer games (educational, of course). We are using a site called time4learning, which I will be reviewing in the next week or two. Using educational games or websites lets the learning continue while Mom gets a little rest.

Next week we will be taking our Spring Break. A chance to tackle all that housework!

Have fun!
