A Pleasant Morning!

I woke up feeling more rested this morning! 

I let the two little ones have school lunch today so no need to pack lunches. 

I got everyone ready and had time to iron three table cloths before devotions and even had time to read 1 1/2 chapters of our read aloud!

Then, we started laundry and finished that history chapter we started yesterday.  I helped Kaitlyn highlight important terms and vocabulary and got the boys going on their work!

Everyone finished the bulk of their bookwork by noon so I took a quick lunch break and went to Subway with my dear friend, Diana!  She is a secretary at the elementary school so we just had half an hour, but it was really nice getting caught up!  Its the first time we have had time just the two of us since September, I think.  (not counting when I fell asleep on her couch on my b-day two weeks ago with a migraine!)

When I got back home I finished the laundry, did lapbooking with the three older children, graded everyone's work and even had time to blog hop for a little while.

All we have left for schoolwork today:

Kaitlyn needs to read one section of her Science chapter and then I will go over the review questions at the end of the chapter with her. That's it!

I think I have enough time to sew a little bit before I need to fold that laundry and start dinner! 

(Then, of course, there will be homework with the little ones.)

Whew!  Somedays I feel like I can do this thing.  Others...  most...  I feel totally inadequate!  Which kind of day are YOU having?

Wow ~ I am exhausted just reading about your day!!! How do you do it? Thanks for welcoming me back to blogland. I am definitely not having an "I can do it all day!" Time to throw myself upon God's mercy once more. He is good!
Much love,

Hello quietcajun.

My name is Beth and I have been gone for so long from homeschoolblogger.
I signed in last night and wrote my first entry in a very long time, and was sad to see so many blog friends no longer had an active blog.
I was happy to see your blog!

I have homeschooled for over thirteen years now and still have moments wondering if I know what I'm doing
or if I should be doing what I'm doing!
I have realized my method to getting thru those times are the same from when I first started; Just keep going and hope God's grace will be sufficient to cover my insufficiencies!
So far so good :)

Looks likes you're doing a lot... the lapbooks sound fun. I think they are a novel idea. lol

I am having a rather long day...lol and it's only 12! I got up early. I had some things I had to get done on here. Now I am just leaving a few comments. ; )

My name is Christina. I am 38 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 18 years! My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (16), Jordan (14 next month), Ian (12.5), and Noah (10 next month)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (8 in September) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 12th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
