Getting school work done has been hard this past week, with the homeschool group starting back up(ugh...why did i say I would help with so much) & all the activities going on again...and now add a teen age son working about 30 hours a week(sometimes it has been more) into the mix...whew....this is exhausting...

D's job has made him so happy he has extra spending $, he is putting money away in the bank for a pick up truck , but trying to get lessons done has been challenging, even he has admitted this. I just keep telling myself one part of the job(building two additions & refoofing) is done, now all they have to do is paint.then that will be over......and the tire shop is only on Satudays(for now)....oh yeah I forgot the watermelon picking...that isn't done yet either (all of this btw is for the same family down the road from us)

one good thing is driving distance, if he is working on the house or the watermelons..he walks or rides his bike...NO GAS SPENT...hehehe....if he is working at the tire shop sometime I have to take & pick him up but sometimes the owner(down the road neighbor) picks him up or drops him off depending on his schedule.....but the times I have to take\get him it is only about a 10 mile round trip...SOOOO much better than if he worked in the big town we do everything in then I would spend an hour just driving him back & forth.

numerous times i have had to turn the lights off because D. has fallen asleep while doing his lessons the boy is trying so hard to keep up, I am so proud of him....and he is still working on projects\chores around the house as much as possible..tonight he bushhogged the ENTIRE back field..ours & the grandparents house....he works so hard...i'm gonna miss that boy when he is gone....ok so he is never allowed to leave home..lol 

well for A. fractions are going MUCH better than ancicipated....I figured we would be working on the rule of four for 3 months, but by golly she is getting it!!!she is up with the sun every morning & the first one done with all her lessons....she loves doing schoolwork....she loves checking off her accomplishments...she is a list person...lol......if all 3 off my kids were like her school would be such a breeze!

S. she is almost like her sister...not quite but close...she has melt downs though if things do not go her way, of if the answer is wrong...how dare it be wrong..she KNOWS what she is doing...she is a perfectionist...sigh ....and it shows.
