Aug. 24, 2007 - Slow and steady
I liked what I had seen others doing..... starting out school slowly and adding more each week. So, my plan was to start this week by doing our morning routines (getting dressed etc) and then having devotions together (read devotional story or 2 and then pray a decade of the rosary together) and then do one small school subject.
I am needing to start out slow given that I have all-day-long morning sickness and am not functioning at too high of a level right now. (I am not surprised by the illness btw.. I lost 10 lbs in the first trimester with my ds6.... guess it runs in my family or something.... but it has been emotionally harder this time to feel sick all the time.... maybe taking the progesterone???.. who knows)
At any rate, my plan was to next week add on phonics and math and then start all the CHC stuff the first week of Sept. (which is when those lesson plans are scheduled to start given their tie-in to the holidays and liturgical calendar etc) I am feeling a bit overwhelmed now though, wondering how I'm going to get up earlier etc.... which I will need to to do make all this happen. I have always been inconsistent with routines and i know that until I figure out a good school routine then I will keep struggling, but given the feeling sick it's really hard to judge how hard to push myself etc to make things happen. Guess I still need lots of prayer!
We have another sono on Monday - at first I had thought, why another so soon - but now that it is approaching I find myself glad for the chance to see again that the baby is ok etc.... needing some reassurance I suppose - need to know all this sickness is working towards the goal!
