Peaks and Valleys

For me, homeschooling hits a fair share of peaks and valleys and rarely sits in the middle.  At the moment, we are at a peak as things are going very well.  Last week - a valley.  It changes often, probably depending quite a bit on Rebecca's mood as well as my own.  I have a difficult time sticking with one plan day in and day out.  When we hit our valleys, I become frustrated and often times throw in the towel on what we are working on.  Maybe I should give it more time, but it becomes difficult when it becomes a daily battle.  Changing things up every few weeks works for me.  I sometimes come back to the things that failed in the past since I never throw any of it away.  Some of it continues to collect dust on the shelf.  I think it keeps school fresh for Rebecca too. Change can be difficult and scary, but sometimes it is a good thing.
