I finally found this 23-day school planner which I designed last year in my archives, so I think I'll just cut and paste the entries here over the next few weeks as I prepare for a new school year.  I need it for myself, and hope it will be a help to someone else!

Well, with some help from my friend Joe, I think I've got this ready to go! 

   It's almost that time again, friends!  I know I need to get organized and ready for structured educational time around here.  Enough of the playstation!  Enough of hearing "I'm bored!  What are we doing today?"  Enough of the sleeping in late!  (Well, okay, maybe not that yet, but it's coming) . . .It's time to prepare. 

   This will be my tenth year of homeschooling.  Wow.  I should be an expert.  Ha!  It's sortof like your Christian walk . . .the more you know, the more you know how little you know!  So I've decided to get really organized and write it all down.   And if I'm going to all that work, why not put it here for whomever else might want some help in thinking about this year?

   I learned so much from working through Amy at Dandelionseeds' Clean Heart, Clean Home Challenge earlier this year, that I thought it would be great to prepare for my school year the same way.  There are  23 days on the calendar from today until I plan to start school at our house.  I've decided to break down all the things I know I need to focus on, from schedule planning to putting my home in order to ordering curriculum.  And I'm going to be answering all my own questions after I print out the sheets right along with you! 

   I'll be writing and posting these day by day, so jump in if you want and use it however you want!  I hope it will be a blessing to you!
