Homeschooling in Illinois

It's Saturday!

Posted in Cleaning

Woohoo!  It's Saturday.  No school!  It's a day of organization and tv.  We got a new entertainment center yesterday.  It's one that goes in a corner.  It's smaller than our old one, so I have been emptying out the old one, and trying to figure out where to put all of our movies.  I decided to make a list of all of them and put a code next to them to show us where the movies can be found.  There are movies in the frontroom, bedroom closet, upstairs closet, upstairs sitting room, and basement.  Me thinks we have too much movies....  And the kids rarley watch tv!  Today, however, the tv has been on all day.  I am keeping them out of my hair, so that I can accomplish as much as possible.  Plus, I have so many kid shows taped on the DVR, I am taping them onto VHS to free up some space for the Olympics which we are way behind in watching.  I have been taping Davey and Goliath, Adventures in Odyssey, Bibleman, and Magic School Bus. 

I also had to pack up our multiple game stations.  We have 3DO, Playstation, Nintendo and Sega - all the originals, and all my husbands.  We also have V-Smile.  I left the Playstation and V-Smile because those are pretty much the only ones that get used - sometimes.  I am sick of all this junk all over that never gets touched.  We are such packrats.  I want to get rid of everything (now how do I pass that on to my husband?).  I can't wait to go upstairs and get rid of half of the toys up there.  Kids, hide your stuff!  Momma's gone crazy!  hehe....

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".
