I spend each summer vacation planning out

the upcoming school year. (Everything always

looks great on paper!!)

The problem is that while I am busy coming

up with the "perfect" plan for my little darlings to

learn from, they keep interrupting me with, "Mom,

can I read to you? Mom, can you  help me look

up the name of this flower I found? Mom, is it okay

if I write a letter today?"

I have tried to explain to them that they need to stop

learning while I am trying so hard to come up with

a plan to teach them!
