I think it was Black Beauty, in his memoir by the same name.  Anyhoo...

A few weeks ago I was gung ho to start the new school year.  Man, I was an organizing, list producing, lesson planning, excel spreadsheet making person.  I was ready to go.

Only thing was, I didn't have all of my *stuff* yet, meaning I was camping out by the mailbox just waiting for the Abeka fairy to bestow quiz and test books on me.  Finally everything came.  I eagerly added columns to my spreadsheets detailing just how this new booty would be added to our already about to bust schedule.

And then I lost it.

We are supposed to start Monday.  I am not ready and I don't wanna.  Foster baby has a doctor appointment at 2:00 that day. So we have to stop school by 12:30 to get ready and leave by 1:30.  I still have lots of photocopies to make and not much time over the weekend to do it.  I *can* be ready but I have lost my mojo.

So in conclusion, I don't know if we are starting Monday or not.  We'll see.
