Taking things one day at a time, and learning to be patient with everyone: the teachers, my kids, ourselves. We have shifted our kids' babysitter toward more teaching-assistant type duties. Also, I'm trying use my free time to teach the kids intellectually stimulating stuff they wouldn't learn in a classroom - like how to play poker, how to calculate flooring area from an architectural plan, how a wall is constructed, basic chemistry while cooking in the kitchen.
