Dec. 16, 2006 - Update on the Tinsleys
The girls finished their first semester of school yesterday. They both did really well. Emily made star roll on her first report card and was one of 12 out of about 75 kids picked for the spelling bee. Unfortunately, when it came time for the bee, she got out on her first word. I think it was from nervousness though. I am proud of her nonetheless. Brooke has finally adjusted and gives me no problems about going to school now. She has also done excellent academically. She is in 2nd grade but they have her doing 3rd grade spelling and she is flying thru the Abeka 2nd grade math book. All of this just confirms for me that I did an OK job the last two years.
Now, when will we back to homeschooling? Maybe in january! My husband has placed an ad for my replacement and we have been getting lots of resumes in. He plans on starting interviews next week. If he can hire someone soon, we will pull the girls out at the end of January. I doubt we will be able to get this done before they start back Jan 4th. I pray that is all works out.
The girls would have no problem leaving the school and going back to hsing. I mentioned the possibility to Emily because she has really gotten into the school thing. She said she could not wait to homeschool again!
I have to admire those moms that do work full time, have kids in school and still manage to keep a clean house, cook dinner and run kids to activities. I just can't get the hang of it. After being home for the last 9 years, I can't do it all. I think it is just that my subconscious refuses to. LOL! Anyway, it will be nice to get things back to "normal" around here.
I've got to get the girls ready for Christmas pictures. I'll post an update later.
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
