Mar. 2, 2007 - Loooong time!
Gosh, i haven't written in a LONG time!! what can i say... its been busy around here!!! i went through a rough period about 3 weeks ago where i was totally sick of being off track and stuck... schooling 3 with a new baby has been really a challenge. So at that point i sought help from the wonderful well trained mind board, They so rock! and developed a plan. We start our day with breakfast, then do all the housework because as much as i wanted to put school first, I learned that if the house is a mess i'm completely distracted and useless and angry, so that's a problem! Ok, so we do breakfast, cleaning then start on math with the little kids, Alex (11)helps Chloe (5)with her math, and I(31 hehehe) help Nik(8) with his math I help nik with his reader, and he moves on to do spelling time on the computer. Then we start between the lions, possibly having a brainy baby or two before then for Leif (7 mos) and sometimes anna (3) who often hangs out at the table and plays with the middle kids manipulatives. While between the Lions is on, Alex and i work on his history, Sonlight, and science, Apologia general science. Its not perfect but its something, and pretty good for a crisis year which is what i consider this year to be with the depression issues and a new baby and everything... NEXT year hopefully will not be, and i've bought Winter promise 4th year history to do which is much more age flexible than sonlight, so i have high hopes! Anyway, more later.. gotta run...
