Your friendly reminder that the existential doom spiral is just August.

Every year you feel that homeschooling will be impossible, your life is unmanageable and you are a failure who will never ever be able to educate these kids and make dinner on the same day.

But lo and behold, for the last 7 years you have managed to do just that, so you might not be as bad at this as you think.

It’s just August.

It does this every year. Avoid all the flat lay curriculum pictures, don’t click on the post about the quiet house when her kids go back to school, and try not to make sweeping judgments after a summer of long hours and less routine.

It’s just August.
