Blogging is hard

Seriously blogging is hard. I'm not a strong writer and I feel like every time I sit down to write something I get caught up in feeling like I should have something better to say.

I'm not polished. 

I clearly haven't cared about grammar since the 7th grade.

I super struggle with feeling embarrassed about my thoughts.

Imposture syndrome is real guys. It's super real and I know I CANNOT be the only one struggling with it.  So, if you are reading this, I really appreciate you and the time you are giving to read these words. 

This is the last week of summer before co-op is in session for the new school year. Samuel is very excited to go back to seeing friends each week. Every time we go somewhere he asks which friend is going to be there. It's super sweet.

This year will be rough. I am tutoring his class. On community days, the class leader is called a tutor. We are still in the littles class, which is actually a perfect fit for us. Sam still needs the flexibility of the little ages and Colson will be with me as well. I am his childcare too! It's fine, we're fine, this year will be fun! 

Back to tutoring. My job is to model what a CC (Classical Conversations) day looks like. I am modeling what it looks like to go over the information, teach the content, and show ideas for what to do. My goal is to show how I would do this in my own home too. What I am hoping, is that as I model going over the content once a week, my confidence will grow to actually do the work here at home each day. 

Last year as so hard, with Colson just being a baby and with Sam learning so many basic social things. I don't even know what is reasonable to expect from this year... We will see and it will be fine :) 

Ok, that's it for this morning! I hope today is beautiful!
