Every wonder what’s it like to be a mom? Probably not – because you already are one. As a homeschooler – by definition – you have a child you school. Or in the case of a lady I met recently, a niece and nephew she homeschools. Being a mom is something that comes naturally for many, but not for me.
Surprised?
I know, I have five kids. I am a teacher. I have a certification in Early Childhood Education. I should be a natural.
Let’s just say it started out a bit bumpy. Coming from the classroom back into the home was an adjustment to say nothing of having one year under my belt as a married woman. The switch from work to home was not as easy as I hoped. I was in a new town with no friends. I really poured everything into my husband and my child. I didn’t even put him down during naps! (My son, not my husband!) Talk about spoiled.
Fast forward many years later and now as a mom of five and grandmother of six I have many more years of experience and believe me I wish I could go back and turn the clock way into the past. There are so many things I’d like to do over. How about you?
Do you have regrets? Are there things you’d like to change?
Now is the time! Each day is a new day with the Lord – it is a time to wake up each morning and give your burdens to HIM who is so much bigger than you or I will ever be. DO the best you can – I love Joshua 24:15 –
What is your biggest struggle being a mom? How can I help?
