homeschooling while sick

We started Tapestry of Grace before the holidays and are enjoying it very much. We're studying the 20th Century and are working through World War II right now. I like the way that once we start an area, the girls can just go with the subject on their own. They do their maps, timelines, lapbooks and notebook pages with a small amount of imput from me. This was a good thing since I spent the holidays very ill. In early Jan, I finally got a diagnosis and am getting better every day. I don't enjoy homeschooling while sick, but I'm amazed at what I learn when I am low and weak.

Now that I'm stronger, we've been organizing, cleaning and trying to get more done each day. What a blessing to see things become neater and cleaner each day. Sometimes I forget how much I like cleanliness!

I'm reading Created to be His Helpmeet again...whew...hard reading! I'm also reading some organization books and biographies from World War II.
