Worst Mom Ever

Some days I feel like the worst mom ever. We have so much chaos that there's no dinner, or even a real lunch, until late. No one got dressed that day, and there is much yelling and nashing of teeth. 
Sometimes I slip and I don't check workbooks and spelling as often as I should *cough* daily *cough* and I'll suddenly find that they lied to me for weeks and didn't do a single thing. 
We had these same issues when they were in public school, so it's not much difference, but I still wonder if I should send them back. 
I know that part of this is how hard I had to work on my business, and now that my busy season is over I won't be spending as much time working as before, and I can focus more on the kids' lessons. 
I'm just left feeling like the worst mom ever today.

not really a vent

Not really a vent. I'm just excited that my events are over for the year. I'm excited to start working on things for my kids again. And for me. I have so many ideas to work on next! And I do kind of want to do another entire summer of these things. So I will start in the new year, creating and putting things away for next year. Practicing new patterns, tweaking things here and there. Then, hopefully, I won't have to work as hard to keep up with demand next year. Also hoping I can convince my husband to get hisbutt out in the work shop to make me some wooden toys.
