7 Days...

7, count 'em, 7 days until Bishop Academy opens it's doors. Or at least we do something constructive that may be counted as educational ;) I'm nervous as the days pass and think about what is really before me. I am going to be in charge of educating my boys...for real!

The four of us watched the newest version of Alice in Wonderland last week and I must say I see an analogy here...

At the beginning of the film, no one is convinced she is the "right" Alice. Even Alice doubts she is Alice. All along the way she keeps doubting herself, and so do others. At end of the movie, she knows that she IS the right Alice, she's as Alice as can be. I think that fits me to a tee right about now. I'm not too sure that I am even capable of being a teacher, I'm not sure who exactly signed me up for this (of course I did, like Alice).

Alice realized that "wonderland" was her own dream, I have realized that this is my journey. I put this into motion and I decide how well we do by how much effort I put into it (i.e. slaying the jaberwaki)

Bob is my mad hatter, always believing, always encouraging. Doing whatever it takes to make sure I am where I am supposed  to be to slay said task.










 If I have lost you because of my movie analogy I apologize. In case you didn't know, I liked Alice in Wonderland... a lot!

Thanks for listening to my ramblings...I need a sounding board now and then. This homeschooling gig is gonna get curiouser and curiouser Until I have more thoughts that I feel the need to share, I'm off. Because I'm late, I'm late for a very important date...making banana bread with my boys :)
