As I sit here resting my weary feet, I feel such a sense of accomplishment! I made my grocery list and menu for the next week-10 days, went shopping (at two stores), divided bulk items for the freezer, put all the groceries away, kept my laundry up, and made up a day of school today!
Yep, you read it right: we schooled today.... ALL DAY! My children chose to play with their friends on thursday, and while previously I would've just adjusted my schedule yet again and felt that windmill-tilting futility, this time I said "No more. If you want to play, you pay." Much to my astonishment, they understood and agreed perfectly! Hunh. Soooo, my feelings of frustration before this were for what?! exactly?? (Of course, when my parents dropped by and expressed a surprised-not-in-a-good-way reaction, my back went up, but my mouth stayed shut~ yea, Me!!!)
Today, they got up, played for a little bit, got dressed, we all had breakfast together (with daddy~yea!), and then we got down to business. Mo Chroi handled the math lessons (we do them orally and mentally, so it's extra nice to have a break every so often) and listened to every other narration (Jigger was on a roll today!), while I handed out assignments, kept the lessons flowing, and did my laundry. We had a late lunch/early dinner of homemade biscuits and homemade vegetable soup, then went off to the shops. It was a lovely day!
I hope your day and evening hum along just as well as mine, and that you enjoy them to the fullest. I'm off to snuggle up with Mo Chroi now that the children are in bed for the evening.
Have a wonderful weekend!
