Are you the kind of person that never feels as if you've done enough, or are you content knowing you've done something?  I am the former, and God has blessed me with friends that are the latter to keep me in perspective.

Here we've finished week 3 and we still have not started our first poem, nor have we done any picture studies or nature walks.  Two of these activities I've scheduled for the afternoon, yet is seems by the time lunch is over I've gotten into some personal project that keeps me from going back to scheduled homeschool activities.  I have to say, the weather has been spectacular for many, many weeks now such that the kids are outside after lunch and not interested in going back to a structured activity, either.  Not that I'm complaining, or asking for a week of rain, or anything like that!

And what about all that other wonderful stuff I want to do?  I just got Family Math from the college library where I teach.  One perk of being faculty is I get to take out books owned by the college for a really long time; Family Math is due in May 2008.  I've only just started looking at the book and there's so many wonderful ideas I'd like to do.  I think I'll be lucky if I get a couple done by the time I have to return the book.  At least I started reading it!

And that only reminds me that I need to schedule time in for ds#3, my 4 yo, who is always asking if it's his turn for me to do school with him.  Some of the Family Math activities would be great!  Not to mention preliminary reading and writing skills...

So much to do, so little time.  I guess that's a drawback of CM Homeschooling, if you can call it that.    So much better than textbooks...
