Keeping It Catholic - Making Ordinary Days Extraordinary

If the house is a disaster, take a day (or several) off to clean and catch up. This can help us return to concentrate more fully on the schooling later. When my house gets too disorderly, I eventually am besieged by a vague sense of anxiety that is only alleviated by restoring my home to order. Completing at least one or two tasks that are a major source of irritation also creates a sense of accomplishment.

 

Support from the Group

 

One homeschool support group to which I belonged broke the routine of the third quarter with a Skills Day. Parents would volunteer to teach a subject, ranging from computer story writing to kitchen science, to drama and the more traditional arts and crafts activities, like finger painting with pudding and cookie decorating. Several valiant families who lived close together volunteered the use of their homes. Some moms took nursery duty, while others escorted children from class to class or house to house. The children could pick between three to four classes, which ran an average 30 minutes. The teens had fewer, but longer, classes.

 

Elementary Skills Day took one entire morning. A small fee was charged, when necessary, for materials. Every child who participated had a parent who did so, too. Each child received a form with all the classes offered for his or her age, and marked four or five classes in order of preference. Then some extremely well-organized and dedicated mothers, with true servants' hearts, fit the children into available slots, giving each child and adult a schedule of where to be and when. This was an uplifting day of camaraderie and learning which also injected variety in our curriculum.

 

Keep a Light Heart

by Using Your Sense of Humor

 

Finally, keeping a sense of humor can really lighten our spirits. In addition to the doldrums, the pervasive decay in our culture and world, of which we must be aware to defend our families, can sadden us. Because of this, it is worthwhile to seek out humorous movies, magazines, and books, or to look at the funny side of family fiascoes. I admit to deliberately scanning publications for their wholesome and, at times, corny humor. The Anne of Green Gables books have terrific underlying threads of humor in their gentle portrayals of human foibles, as do the Winnie the Pooh books.

 

I am fascinated, too, by a picture Chesterton paints of Jesus when relating to humor:

 

"Joy, which was the small publicity of the pagan, is the gigantic secret of the Christian….The tremendous Figure which fills the Gospels towers in this respect, as in every other, above all the thinkers who ever thought themselves tall. His pathos was natural, almost casual.

 

The Stoics, ancient and modern, were proud of concealing their tears. He never concealed His tears; He showed them plainly on His open face at any daily sight, such as the far sight of His native city. Yet He concealed something.

 

Solemn supermen and imperial diplomatists are proud of restraining their anger. He never restrained His just anger. He flung furniture down the front steps of the Temple...yet He restrained something. aKeeping It Catholic - Making Ordinary Days Extraordinaryz Dream gKeeping It Catholic - Making Ordinary Days Extraordinaryk Dream Woman
