To anyone feeling burn out. Just wanted to share what I just did. I am on my last day of break. We took a week off for the Thanksgiving holiday. It was low key no fuss and it was great. I was not feeling burn out but would have soon had I not taken the break. My boys and I are ready to start back to routine tomorrow! We will take another break from Dec. 21-Jan. 6. I'm sure we will be ready again knowing how Christmas is. Then we will really work hard till spring. So set some time for breaks don't kill yourself trying to get done. Take a "homeschooling year round" approach, break and vacation when you want. Be flexable. Most important pray God give you strength, this is a special calling we have it is a ministry. Don't feel you have to put your children in public school (unless God says so). If that thought crosses my mind I go watch to news. God Bless You All. Melanie
