Homeschooling in Illinois

From My Head, To Yours

The following takes place between 7:30 am and 7:30 pm:

Monday, Monday.... Today was one of those days... You know, the kind where your kids are up before you, fighting and tearing the house apart.  Wait... that's every day.  How about this:  The kind of day where you forgot to plan for the school week and you are scrambling to find your children's school work.  No, that sounds all too familiar too....  Let me try again.   You know the kind of of day when your baby just won't sleep?  Yeah, that's a little better.  Baby B just would not sleep today.  It was so frustrating.  I kept trying to put him down, and he would just cry and cry.   Cry, cry, baby....  We did a tiny bit of schooling during those crying fits.  At around 2, I decided to finally get dressed (  ) and put on some happy music to see if that would help my mood any.  I blasted the Hampter Dance.  Ba ba dee doo doo doo doo..... That helped a little.  The corners of my mouth weren't so droopy after that.  The kids enjoyed it.  Even Cranky B.  After that I played some worship jamz.  These are the days of Elijah....

Well, all the kids are in bed.  I am off to watch Prison Break and 24!  YeeeHaw! 

PS  How many of you were able to catch all the humor in this post? 

PSS  What song is in your head now?

LOL. I got the humor, but you know, our home is run so effeciently I just *couldn't* relate. (Yeah, right. *snort*)

As for the song...I had no idea what you were talking about in the music department (I'm a music snob, you know) and all I can get to play in my head is "Amish Paradise" by Weird Al. (Hey, even snobs have to have a vice.)

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".
