Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Sarah, I look forward to starting! This should be great!

I just finished reading the Sonlight high school thread and I am in tears. I feel so paralyzed. I have the hardest time starting anything. I try to do MROL or MOTH and get so caught up with what paper I should use to make my schedules that I can't get to the schedule.

Kim, you are so right that it is really about me. Nothing is going to work if I don't commit to it. My goal for next year should be to commit to one curriculum and follow through. It couldn't be worse than years of floundering and inconsistency.

I really want to comment more, but my time is up.

Anita that was my thought too.. schedule on the computer, no need for paper

not to mention it's hard to lose at least at my house where there's no telling what will grow feet next and wander off, into the toilet, outside, trash can, under a bed.. or torn up IN my bed

Jodie:
I do mine on computer as well, for the exact same reasons.
Plus, I can't figure out which pretty paper, either!!
And, I change things so much in the planning that the paper would look dreadful!

Not to mention it's easy to share over the computer so Molly if you have excel and want to take a peek, I'd be willing to share.. or I can make it a pdf.. but you wouldn't be able to use it yourself, making changes etc, that way.

Ummm this says absolutely NOTHING about my ability to follow it.. just that this is the closest I've gotten to one that I feel I CAN follow if I coudl just get it going long enough to become somewhat habit.

I love spreadsheets! I will try that. Every schedule I have ever put on paper ends up lost anyway.
