The Preschool Homeschool

One great thing about homeschooling is that you don’t have to worry about doctor’s notes and school excuses for absences when your child gets sick. However, if you’re anything like me, you do worry about an illness totally putting you behind in your homeschooling plan. While we are generally laid-back homeschoolers, I do worry when illness makes everything come to a complete stop.

I can honestly say that we haven’t done a darn thing for the past two weeks. It all started with complaints of sore throats, which turned into coughs and sleepless nights. Once that was over, my daughter, who is the preschooler, got pink eye. So we spent one day at the Dr.’s and pharmacy and the next two days applying eye ointment that makes it really difficult to concentrate when your eye feels goopy and gross.

That was finally cured this last weekend and I thought we could get back on track. But what happens Tuesday morning? The return of the Pink Eye Princess and this time it went after Mama! So now both of us have pink eye, and we’re derailed before we can technically even get back on the track. But then I remember that there’s no rush and to just enjoy this time of hanging out and complaining to each other that we can’t see out of one eye very well. So when illness derails your homeschooling, just enjoy the good times.
