Sep. 23, 2008 - Tuesday recess

Let's see: today during recess the kids are outside in the backyard, my husband is working at Home (WAH), and I'm taking a moment to write a blog--something, anything.

My son is doing better going faster in math on the timed problems--I'm very happy about that.
My daughter is struggling to spell.  She reads very well, but the same word she just read, she couldn't write down correctly, so we had to go back over her work.  I've been very surprised at this.
My 2nd daughter is trying to think of things to do.  It has been hard to bounce from 4th grade math to 2nd grade reading to watching the preschoolers sort and make patterns.  I want her to learn as much as the other two did during the preschool year,  but it just isn't equal time.  I have the feeling that others get to this point with baby3, baby4, etc. and turn their plans into curricula that uses more grades at one time.  In any case, it is looking more and more like at some point we will turn to that.

In other news, financial worries has everyone on the freak-out point.  Hang on guys--this may not end well, but Jesus is still on the throne.  Even so, Lord Jesus, come quickly.
