Schizophrenic blogging…
So I’ve been keeping this blog for a long time, just for my own notes, and recently, I’ve started thinking that maybe it’s time to split up the homeschooling posts into a separate homeschool blog. Originally, I started blogging here for myself, after migrating from livejournal, where I blogged a lot about my grad school classes. Then I went through a period where I blogged mainly about my pregnancy with Declan, for family members. As the kids got older, I talked more about them and what they were doing and most recently about our issues with Declan.
But now it just sort of seems schizophrenic, and the fact that more people are reading it (why, I don’t know…lol) means that I should probably start actually paying attention to what I write. I’d also like to blog more about personal things.
This weekend, I think I’ll sit down and set up another blog for the homeschool stuff and migrate the homeschool posts and links over there. Having a separate homeschool blog will make me feel more accountable when it comes to weekly reports too. I’d really like to start posting those, since this year is the first year where I’ve not kept some sort of electronic record of what the kids’ accomplish. (Of course, we really haven’t been accomplishing much…lol.)
Heh, I just started a homeschool blog for this year too so I could separate things especially since I filed our first R4 since we aren’t using a charter for Christopher’s high school. I haven’t updated it quite as much as I would like (and somehow it’s usually with the middle two kids and not Christopher’s stuff too…hmmmm…) but I do think it helps prompt the memory cells to come up with what you are getting done with school, when you have time to do anything with it that is. *big grin*
Ooh, that’s a good reason. I hadn’t thought about high school record keeping, despite the fact that it’s sneaking up on me next year! I’d love to see your new homeschool blog!
