school at midnight

I thought that one of the advantages of homeschooling was scheduling.  Little did I realize what that actually means.
I finished my nightly chores last night about 11:20 and I was excited to go to bed before midnight.  Then, my three year old son asked me if he could do some school.  I silently cursed the nap I'd let him take in the afternoon and told him of course he could do school.  So, there I was from 11:25 until 12:15 teaching my son.  He did five workbook pages of math, and one addition page on his dry-erase book.  Then, he traced all his letters on the dry-erase book and asked to read some books.  We reviewed the sounds for a, m, and s and then learned the sound for l.  I was so tired I actually started falling asleep while he was practicing his letters.  Then, my husband reminded me that this was the reason we were homeschooling.  The major advantage of teaching when they children were most receptive to learning.  I agreed last night, but when the alarm went off this morning I started questioning my sanity.  Until, my son woke up and said "Thanks for reading this book to me last night Mom."  I guess I'll be doing school at all hours for a while any way.
