Homeschooling in Illinois

Behind in my blogging

Posted in Household stuff

I am so behind on all my blogs!  This CHCHC is really taking up my time. 

I am trying to read as many as I can to catch up.  For those of you who post often, it is really hard.  I need to finish posting about my vacation, update my site... oh goodness, blogging takes alot of time.... 

On Sat, I went to a quilt show with my mom.  It was so fun!  I don't quilt, but would like to someday.  I enjoyed looking at all the different fabics and patterns.  But most of all, I enjoyed my time out of the house away from the kids.   I'm terrible!  I did have to bring baby B, though.  But he was good.  I didn't want to come home.  And for good reason.  When I got home, I discovered that my hubby and kids had played all day with legos that were everywhere, and hadn't done a single thing to the house.  Well, apparently, hubby "didn't have anything to do".  Grrrr..... So, I got home, started dinner, loaded the dishwasher, blah blah blah..... 

Today I need to get some laundry done, again.... We are all out of socks.  I am trying not to fall behind in my other cleaning areas, but it is pretty hard not to.  And it is going to be a beautiful day!  I want to go outside! 

Awhile ago, DandelionSeeds posted about scheduling.  I made out a rough schedule for how the school day should go.  That has helped alot.  Now I can see what needs to get down, and when.  I know when we are behind because he has been slow (which is all the time).  I can also see when we will be done.  It's good to have an end in sight. 

One of these days I need to do some freezer cooking.  It is nice to have some meals in the freezer that I can pull out on busy/lazy days. 

I need to get to the thrift store and get my boys some church pants.  Especially D.  His pants are all too short. 

My mom leaves for California on Wed.  I am so scared.  What am I going to do without her?  How will I function?  The kids are going to overtake me!! 

I will leave you with a word from baby B who has been sitting so nicely on my lap:

You have to train that hubby of yours. I have mine half-way trained. That means that half the time I can leave him and I come home to a nice house and the other half of the time it's misery...I mean, a learning experience.

Hope you do well without your mom.

Oh, that sounds like my DH, too. Bless his heart...he and the kids get into "when the cats away the mice will play" mode when I'm not around! I love shopping at Goodwill...they have the best buys. And, when the DC's are growing so quickly, who wants to spend a forture on clothes!? Don't worry, you'll get it all done and do great!

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L born May 18. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
