Homeschooling in Illinois

Jan. 9, 2007

Back to School Blahs

Now that I finally have time to sit down and write an entry AND HSB is actually allowing me to log on, I can't remember what I wanted to write about.  And of course, the smileys aren't working.... grr....

Let's see.  We started back to school yesterday.  Boy, wasn't that fun (read that sarcastically).  D took a few hours to do math because he just kept looking around and getting up and needing help..... N and C made a HUGE styrofoam mess.  They had itty bitty pieces everywhere.  I had to vacuum C - she was covered in them.  Baby B has a terrible cold, so he was really clingy and cranky.  Hubby called from work saying he was on his way to the hospital to get blood drawn because he might have been exposed to diseases.  Crazy, crazy day.

Today I was supposed to have jury duty, but when I called yesterday, they said I didn't have to come.  I was actually looking forward to a day without kids just sitting and reading.  Boy, it sounded relaxing.  ;-)

Tomorrow will be one year since my grandpa died.  I wanted to go visit my grandma, but she has plans for my brother to come over and clean up her yard.  My grandma is strange and it's hard to know what to do to please her. 

I want to make a post on all the things that happened over Christmas break, but I can't do that know.  HSB won't let me post pics.  This is really frustrating.  Yesterday, I sat down to make a post, but I couldn't do anything on HBS.  I was about ready to just make a new blog elsewhere, but I didn't really feel like it....

Baby B is walking now.  My mom says he looks like Tim Conway when he walks.  She is so right!  It's funny.  And he is getting quicker, so he takes even smaller shuffles when he speeds up.  Too cute. 

I guess I will go watch lay on the couch and watch some tv.  Hmm... lets see if I can make it sound better.  I am going to pop some corn, curl up on the couch, snuggle under a blanket and... well... still, watch some tv.  Adios!

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".
