1st Day of Homeschool Picture

Written By: JoJoisms - Sep• 03•13

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAEveryone on Facebook has been sharing their child’s first day of school photo.  I felt left out.  You see, homeschoolers don’t usually participate in these kinds of things.  We’re weird.  Well, weird in the sense that we usually do things quite differently than do public school kids/moms.

Most public school kids have to get up, get dressed, wait for the bus or are driven to school and get there by about 8am.

My son usually falls out of bed at 5am and heads to his computer where he starts his math lessons in the dark…and yes, he’s usually still in his PJs.

Today he started reading for his British Lit program at 5:15am.  He’s reading Oliver Twist this week.  Since I got up at 2:30 am, I was busy unsuccessfully trying to get a few more minutes of sleep.

So…here he is  (6:15am) at his computer doing his Geometry program.  I won’t show you a picture of me.  I’m still in my PJs too!

How many of you homeschool? How many of you do it in your PJs?  Fess up!

    Fellow homeschoolers here, too! We used to stay in our pj’s for school, but the past couple years I worked to get us out of that habit. I try to get up, shower and dress right away. That doesn’t mean we don’t have pj days, but it isn’t in the normal every day routine. I hope you have a wonderful year!

    Thanks for sharing, Dawn. We are the opposite. We used to get up and get dressed first, but we found it works better for us the other way around. So now we school in our PJs unless we are going out somewhere in between.

    PJs for the WiN! But not today. Tuesday I drop daughter at the Animal Protective League building and hop on the expressway to get to bible study. Son can stay in his PJs if he likes? And since he isn’t even here this week it’s up to Grandma when he has to be up, ready and out the door!

    🙂
