It's almost time for Annie. This week is tech week, so full show rehearsals every night! Opening night is Friday. I have seen a little of the show and it looks like it's going to be really, really good! I am so amazed at the quality of community theater!
Hunter starts work on Beauty and the Beast this Sunday, he is in the kids chorus, it should be another fun production! He knows some of the kids in it, and that is a plus!
Hunter had his second dance class today. She made them work hard today! I know he was sore at least for a little while afterwards. He is doing really well! and I am so happy for him. He has found something that he really enjoys and he is doing it! I can't say that I have had that experience too many times in my life and as a child I don't think I had it at all.
We are doing really pretty good. We had to have a family talk to go over respecting each other and just taking care of our own stuff in general. How if we all do it then it's easier to help each other out when there is extra stuff to do. I was just feeling really worn down by all the house up keep and then preparing all the food and cleaning up. So it just really boils down to taking care of our own stuff. Then I can handle the regular cleaning and food preparing and it really makes a huge difference!
The three of us are on a mission to all have a 70 toon by Sunday, Brewfest starts on Sunday. I already have 2 toons above 70. Curtis has one and is working on another, Hunter doesn't have one but he has a level 63, so we are going to work really hard on getting it up to 70 by Sunday! So we can work on Brewfest quests together!
I have started to become a little more vocal among my homeschool moms that I tend to talk to at park days and classes and such. Well and they have been asking me more questions about unschooling. I try to answer their questions as best I can and let them know it's a learning process. That I can tell them what I am supposed to be doing with Hunter, but it's not always what ends up happening. That I am still human and even though I know what I should say and do I don't always.
I still throw temper tantrums occasionally to blow off steam. I still have really, really bad days. I still blame Hunter for stuff that totally doesn't make any sense, and in fact I will catch myself as I am going on and on about it with him. I will suddenly realize that my argument makes no sense what so ever and that i just need to get over it. I haven't been able to point that out yet, but I am working on it.
I still worry sometimes about whether I am doing it right, and often times I know that I am not. I don't spend nearly enough time just being with Hunter. Some days he craves more time with me and some times I can give it and other times, even though I know it's best if I just let it go and be with him. Instead I obsess over what ever it is I am so caught up in and we have a horrible day.
How I handle my stress is usually what keeps us from being together and having good times together. I recognize that but changing it is a whole 'nother story:)
But when i talk about unschooling I still really do feel that it is the best thing for us. It gives us the freedom to learn anything we want to learn and to think about all kinds of things. Like today we pondered about whether or not the library would ever not let you borrow books, like what it would take to make them stop letting you take out books. We had some things that were due in yesterday and they didn't make it back until today, oopps! Or what a virus is and if there are viruses out there that you can get but that don't make you sick. All the pondering you can do and then all the research that could come of it. Hunter isn't so into the research he is more into the possibilities and I am okay with that. If someday he wants to learn more about viruses we will go there, but for now it's just about what could possibly happen.
