Stress

It was easy preparing the basic outline from September to December. I was quite proud of myself for being so "organized". Now that I have to hash out my day to day, I'm not so relaxed.
I sat at my desk for a couple of hours last night and I couldn't decide on the simplest of things - what books or lessons do we use on a regular workday? During our Egypt study, how do I break it all down? Do we study things by topic, or work it out as it comes while looking through the Egypt books? It's so frustrating to have this homeschool block. The first day of school is coming up so quickly, and I want to be organized. I want to have things all lined up. I want to start the first day with DD, and KNOW what we're doing today, tomorrow, the next day, and so on. I need a PLAN!!!!!!
On top of that, I'm taking on two new kids in the Fall for childcare. How are they going to fit in with our crazy homeschool life? Will things go well? Will the sprite constantly fight with the other little one? Will my homeschooler be bored???!!! I hope not.
And where does housework and meal prep fit in?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*Deep Breath*

Lord, please give me the guidance, the patience, and the wisdom I need.
