On the Homefront:

I got a bit of downer over the weekend.  It looks like I will have to miss out on having with my side of the family.  They are planning to have their dinner on Friday.  I have to work 11-7 that day, so there is no way to schedule the dinner around those hours.  On the other hand, I do have Thanksgiving off, so we are discussing what we'd like to do for our dinner, here at home.  (This will be my first holiday off since I started working.)

Last weekend, one of the ladies I met on a homeschool board was in our area.  She stopped by to visit.  Here is a photo:

L to R:  Sarah (my online friend), her mother, my friend Lucy (who is also a part of the online community), and myself (in the black shirt).  We had a lovely time visiting.  Sarah's mother homeschooled her way before homeschooling was popular.

 In the School Room:

While I was off on Friday, I planned out dd's next science pace.  I was hoping she would get it completed before the end of November, but I'm not sure that will work.

She should get her Easy Grammar finished the week of Thanksgiving.  At that point, she will start doing a Total Language Plus course for literature.

I dug out my high school binder where I'm keeping track of courses for high school.  I need to get a few items added to the binder.  I am also keeping copies of all table of contents from every course in that binder so they all stay in one place.  This will make it much easier for me when I need them. 

DD and dh went to the reservoir yesterday while the weather was decent.  They walked at least 2 miles while there and had some nice, quality time together.

I am planning to have a girls' group next week since I have two days of in the middle of the week.  I know dd is looking forward to this.  I used to host them in my home at least twice a month, but with working, it is a rare occasion when I actually have time for extras like this. 

 Refreshing my Spirit:

I am still having trouble making myself do any in-depth studies when I am home.  I am just so  when I get home that I don't want to have to focus on anything.  I'm doing good this week to even grade dd's work.  Thankfully, dh has really stepped in and helped with that.   I had several things to do this week after work, so by the time I got home Wednesday, I was in .  Not because it was a bad day, but just because I was so terribly .

Sounds as though you're BUSY but managing. You sound so organized with your homeschooling!! You could almost set up one of those online organizing businesses...for homeschoolers. Just kidding; I know you don't have the time. :)

And, yes, isn't that list of Tina's wonderful? We're going to make the gluten free pumpkin pancakes very soon.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Great picture of you and your online friends....you look especially nice, lol. Your dh sounds like a dear for being such a great help to you! Oh, dh and I have also seen a piece of the Berlin Wall at a museum in Coulmbus, GA....it's neat getting to actually touch a piece of history. Have a blest weekend!

I don't know how I missed this earlier this week? Anyway, I hope your Thanksgiving ends up being special. Do you have some friends you can invite over. That helps us these days when we can't get together with family.
