Lots of extra stuff going on. Computer issues, vehicle issues, remodel issues, and the never ending "too much stuff on my plate issues." Ok, done with the whining. On to other things. Looks like we'll only get in one "formal" day of school this week. I had hoped to get some additional bookwork in tomorrow before heading out to join hubby i Tucson for a few days, but tomorrow looks pretty well shot, due to the aforementioned "issues."

The kids did reasonably well, today.  Of course, we've forgotten what math even is, much less how to actually solve problems. But attitudes were ok, and we worked through our workboxes pretty much as I had anticipated. C seems to have misplaced her "Yes, I can" attitude, substituting it with a "this is too hard" one instead. Hopefully, we'll switch back to the better one soon.

A friend came over to pick my brain as she and her husband are considering homeschooling their 1st and 4th graders. Good thing she didn't stay for the whole day. She might have run screaming and pulling her hair!  The good in today?  I wouldn't trade learning with my kids for anything in the world. They both enjoyed their time reading their Bibles. K's journaling went ok, and we had a good trip to the library. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for a public school teacher who has 25 of these kids who've forgotten everything they ever knew, and must be retrained over the course of the next few weeks. I think our re-training period will be much shorter than many of our PS counterparts. At least I hope so!

Blessings to you. Looking forward to a new day tomorrow. So glad His mercies are new everyday!
