My Journey

trying again

Posted in Everyday Events
I am going to attempt to keep a journal again. 

I am trying something new with school for K and D.  We will be doing blocks instead of all subjects everyday.  They will do history and literature everyday.  Math and one smaller subject will be on Monday and Wednesday while Science and another smaller subject will be on Tuesday and Thursday.  I hope they like this better than doing all the subjects everyday.  I think it will be easier.

I am also looking at getting up earlier than I have been.  Last winter I got up at 6:00 and my day went so much better.  I have been getting up at 7:00 this winter.  I need to get back to the 6:00 time.  I feel better about my day when I do it.  Now to just go to bed when I should.

I also have to get bank on track with my eating.  I have lost 50 pounds in total but I have about 75 more to go.  I have been off track since Mike and I got home from Charleston at the end of September.  I did great while we were gone and I have gone downhill since then.  I have gained about 7 pounds total.  I have to get it back together.  I want to reach my goal.

I also joined Flylady again today.  I will see how long it lasts.  It doesn't seem to usually last long for me but I would really like to try it again. 

We are home from church today.  This is my 4th week home and I have to say that I rather enjoy the day off each week.  I have also had the past 2 weeks off since all but M have been gone at some point over the last 2 weeks. D, A and R went to Florida with my Mom and Dad and my brother's family for 10 days.  Overlapping them K flew to Florida to spend a week with my brother and sister-in-law.  And this weekend J, K and D are at a church function.  They come home today and then we are back to normal.

I did not do any school during the last 2 weeks while different ones were gone.  Instead I worked on decluttering and organizing the house and I got a lot done.  It looks really good. I still have little things to do but it looks so much better.

I guess today is my last push to try to get everything organized before we start school again.  

Only 2 more co-op meetings and then our school time will be our own until the end of January.  As much as I love co-op I also like being the master of my own schedule.

I guess that updates everything for now.
