Mar. 29, 2008 - Just another Saturday
For once, I actually am a bit stumped about what to blog about. We've just finished a glorious week of break, so no earth-shattering school news to report. And our break was not one of those dramatic go everywhere, do everything breaks. We just had a great time staying home, sleeping late, vegging out.
This morning my middle two are off to practice for the children's musical at church. Joseph is singing a solo part, and Lauren is playing a part in the drama. She'll be a judge- I can totally see that! I'll go pick them up around noon, and then come home and work on my husband's accounting for his business.
One thing that has been exciting is getting the new Sonlight catalog and my area's homeschool convention flier in the mail. That's always such a time of recharging my batteries. I didn't go the first three years I homeschooled, and by the time I did, let's just say I needed it! And it was just the encouragement I was searching for. I learned some new ways to approach those subjects that were giving me and my children fits. It really helped to have a big-picture view of how it would all fit together. So now I look at those couple of days as my professional development days. My husband has to take off work for me to go, but it is so worth it.
At this time of year it also gets interesting as I begin to plan for next year. With my oldest a bona-fide high-schooler, that's a really big deal. I really enjoy talking to my children and hearing what their goals are for learning and what their interests are. The planning is so much fun to me... But paying for it???? That's a different story!
Well, I started out saying how nothing much was going on, but I managed to do a few paragraphs... I guess it just goes to show a dull day or two can't stop me from yakking!!! (Hopefully it didn't stop you from reading????)
Be blessed!
