Sickness

There isn't much that can keep homeschooling from happening. By that, I mean that if things come up during the day then usually the work can be made up at another time during the day, or that night, etc. Sometimes life takes over and a mother is just too overwhelmed and needs a break. This still doesn't stop homeschooling. Children learn while playing with other children or doing things that most people would consider not educational. However, the one thing that stops homeschooling in it's tracks is sickness. We are victims of this today. Joseph went to bed last night complaining that his stomach hurt and this complaint came back when he woke up this morning and most of today. He has a low grade fever and is just generally grumpy. So, we have taken the day off and are praying that things will be back to "normal" tomorrow.
