Today at least! :) Yesterday was NOT a good day, my temper was on edge and so were the children's (not the baby, she was peaceful). School took the better part of the day and I was ready to hole myself up in the bath tub with a book. Well, actually today I would like to do that too, but not because we are all cranky. Patience is still something I am learning. Sometimes I have it, other times I do not.

Am I the only one who has cranky homeschooling days? I am sure I am not. Some days ARE idyllic. Others are not. But we know it is the best thing for us so we trudge on.

Today was more productive. This evening is swimming lessons. The laundry is more than half done, but I do need to dust. The baby has yet to have a proper nap, but she is doing alright. The only thing I would like to ban is lego. My son does not like to clean it up and everytime he is expected to, it becomes an emotional breakdown.

Today Regan learned about the large and small intestines. Plus a few other things, but that was the fun stuff. We did SOTW, Canada Map book (Sinéad) and she did some more practice work on double digit times double digit because that was proving a bit tricky. But she has it down! I am refusing to get the flu (it's been touch and go) and Kim is still sick, though at work. In phonics, Sinéad wrote a letter to the Mayor about how we should have a clean up the park day (in the summer of course). Maybe she will send it? A crossword for spelling and narration for reading. Regan worked on patterns (which he is quite good at). They both learned about the arctic hare and the arctic fox. SOTW was west Africa, a fable about Anansi, a spider. This afternoon, music and maybe banana bread? But oh, I need to clean.
