So, this is not a woe-is-me post. Just thinking about how hard it is to be a parent whether you stay at home or not, but also how different the stay at home vs. going to work experiences are. I’ve done both. Both are so hard, but for very different reasons.

This is the first year that we didn’t even attempt to finish Literary Guild. For those who don’t know what Lit Guild is, it’s basically a voluntary reading group at school. (Unlike Accelerated Reader, which is required.) Literary Guild gives a reading list for every grade to the kids who sign up for it, and the kids have all year to read the books on the list. They have to take a test on each book to prove they’ve read it.

There are categories of books to read. You might have to read two Dr. Seuss books, or two Caldecott winners, or a biography, etc. The purpose behind the program, a noble purpose,is to introduce young readers to books they might not usually pick up. There are also different difficulty levels, (indicated by the numbers) to challenge readers. Personally, i found that for my kids, who are strong readers, that these books weren’t very challenging, but I did feel that they were still learning about new ideas and worlds they hadn’t read about before, so I didn’t really have a problem with that. I mean, I didn’t exactly find Twilight a challenging read, but I enjoyed the hell out of it.

Literary guild books are in the school library and in the county library. It doesn’t cost anything. But kids can only check out books from the school library at certain times during the week, and before or after school (7am -7:50 or 2:20 to about 3pm.) A parent can take their child to the county library to check out books (and can put those books on hold) during public library hours.

So, if you are a stay at home mom, you can take your kids before or after school to check out books.
