Let's see, it's been over a year since I blogged. The above is me moving forward, through the best and worst of it. The long break was for several reasons, one being it's high school and there is a level of privacy I want to afford to Z that didn't feel necessary before. The other is that my personal life has been chaotic and it was time to pull back and regroup. Some of you know, some of you don't know, but I am in the midst of a divorce. It's a long complicated story that for everyone involved, I'd prefer to keep private. Suffice it to say, I am still here, I am still homeschooling, and this year Z starts his junior year.
Another change last year was my becoming a college student. Last year I took online courses, this semester I'm on campus part of the time. Last week was my first week. I felt those nerves rise up, like every other first day of my school in my life. Instead of seeing a teenager staring back in the mirror, I saw this person who should feel more confident about the whole thing.
Truth is, I'm tired a lot. I'm exhausted right now. But we move on. Z is a great kid, I'm not sure I can refer to him as a kid now, he's growing up, maturing, being the voice of reason in the household on some days. He's growing into this awesome individual that I am proud to call my son.
Since this is a homeschooling blog, I'll be posting more about actual homeschooling. We have a intense schedule this year, with college planning in the works. For now, I'm going to crawl into bed and kick up my feet. If you're reading again, welcome back. If you're new here, welcome. It's dusty and needs updating, but Wakefield Academy's blog is still here.
