Our Little Homeschool




Jan. 27, 2006 - My day today
Posted in General

Today someone is coming to measure our windows--we are getting new windows in our house in a couple of weeks! Woo Hoo!!!

 

Here's my day:

7:30 - up, fed critters, got son his morning cocoa, made coffee

8:00 - cleaned master bedroom. Son got his own breakfast. I showered

9:00 - drove older DD to co-op

9:15 - home again; age breakfast, computer time. Cleaning up my YahooGroups. Dropped a group, reactivated a different group, posted a school subject checkoff list to blog.

 

10:15 - plans for the rest of the day:

--change sheets on my bed (strip, make bed) (in process)

--clean up JDs room; put all the books back in the bookshelf

--change sheets on JDs bed

--start a load of laundry (done, and 2nd load too)

--clean mold off my bedroom window (done, and bathroom window too!)

--put away clean laundry (some but not all)

--work on clearing my dresser and my nightstand (some but not all)

--pick B up from co-op at 11:00 (she got another ride)

--dust

--vacuum

--sweep and mop kitchen

--lunch

--take B to work (done)

--Be ready when window man comes sometime bt 12 and 4 (done - he came at 1:00)

--homeschool JD

--spend time reading (for myself)

--go online and order B's literature book for next week

--clean hall bathroom

--know what's for dinner; thaw it. (chicken--it's thawing)

 

Books I am currently interested in looking at:

-The Well Trained Mind

-What Your Kindergartener Needs to Know

-What Your 1st Grader Needs to Know

-Teaching With The Brain in Mind

-Charlotte Mason in the Home and other titles I picked up on my last trip

 

I might edit this later, but for now this is the plan.

Feb. 8, 2006 - Seeing list, not doing list

Sadly, I didn't get anywhere near that done either... That was kinda my reminder of what Flylady wanted me to do.

Example of my typical day:
1) Make bed; dress. (Shower? Can't do it every day; can't do it in the morning. My son is up early and off like a flash, needing supervision. I often shower at night.)
2) Unload dishwasher
3) Get breakfast, feed JD.
4) Check e-mail
5) Run B to or from morning classes outside the home
6) Retrieve B from morning classes
7) Lunch for me & JD
8) Run B to afternoon classes outside the home
9) Retrieve B from afternoon classes
10) homeschool JD there somewhere
11) dinner prep, serving, and cleanup

As I am able:
-change sheets weekly
-vacuum as needed, more than weekly (but not always done as needed)
-sweep as needed
-mop as needed (which is more than I am doing right now)
-laundry, preferably every day, but at least when hamper is full
-swish and swipe bathroom daily, or at least once a week

Then I've got all this clutter I am constantly trying to chip away at, all the while trying to keep more clutter from accumulating from incoming paperwork in the mail!

Gotta sign off before my computer locks up!
