Homeschooling Out of a Hotel Room

I can't even begin to explain how challenging these last few weeks have been for us. We've relocated to another state... temporarily... and are still trying to adjust. At home the kids always have something to do, but since our new home away from home is a hotel room, we don't have many options on what we can do. We haven't been having the best weather, so getting out and about hasn't been at the top of our list.
At home the kids can go play out in their playhouse, on the back porch, or somewhere else in the house! Here in this one room hotel room, there is no where to go and get away and no back yard with a swing set (we did find a nice park, though... it's only been warm enough to go one time, though)! We did bring the wii with us and have it hooked up now, but when there is another family living under you, there really isn't even much you can do on the wii! Jumping all around is not an option! It's already bad enough that my kids sound like elephants when they walk! lol! I do feel sorry for the people below us!
They only have to put up with us for a few more days, though and then we'll head out for that cruise we have had planned! Can't wait! The kids will have plenty of room to run amuck on the ship... with their Camp Carnival & Circle C staff leaders of course and ... HOPEFULLY...  the dh and I can get some 'alone' time! much needed alone time-- I must add! Actually ... when you are living in close quarters like this, everyone is in need of alone time! I am planning on bringing along my Kindle and kicking back in a deck chair! Oh... I so can't wait!! Just a few more days! No home-schooling that week!! That is just as much a break for me as it is for the kids! Countdown on my Dashboard - 6 days, 20 hours, 46 mins!

Blessings,

  1. Hello, I'm Randi! I just read your post and I love it. I am a homeschool mom as well!

    Hotel rooms are boring, they really are just meant for sleeping in. I hope you guys have a great time on your cruise.

  2. Thank you so much, Randi! :) The cruise went great! We are not back on land. When we get settled here (we are in a new place now), I will try to find some time to put up some cruise pics and of course check out your blog as well. I had to get on and at least approve comments. Hopefully I'll have some time later to read some blogs!
