Maybe I should say Whimsical???

Learning Goals:

• Math: DS8: 61(writing fractions), 62 (id hundreds, tens and ones), 64 (subtracting multiples of 10 and 100), 65 (find the missing addend): Much of this is review.  I think he should be able to do this.  I'm skipping 63 because it is about measurement - tsp, 1/2 cup, etc used in cooking.  We do a good bit of cooking already, but I'll be sure to focus on this aspect and the art of reading a recipe again the next time we make cookies or bread.
• Math: DS5 and DS6: 46 (playing with 1 cup measuring) or 47 (counting by 2).  Which one depends upon time and mood.  I want to do the cup measuring in the bath tub *laugh*
• Literature: Read "Farmer Boy".  Talk about Almonzo's respect for his parents. DS8 finished Bunnicula Tuesday night.  I want him to fill out a character profile for Chester the Cat.  I just need to find one or make one up.
• History: Read a Middle Ages library book and start a new lap book (again)
• Science: Either Read a book about the Woodland forest and start mural OR three facts for Saturn (or Uranus - I'm not sure where we are)  Children's Choice.
• Bible: Continue Reading about "Important People in the Bible" List is in Cowboy Silver's Bible OR little project on Adam and Eve (last ...erm..first...important people) Children's Choice

HOME GOALS:

• 3 Loads of Laundry Washed, Folded and Put up.  Additional Laundry Folded
• Boys' Bathroom wiped down (Cowboy and Cuddlebug need to clean up the toothpaste)
• Living room picked up and dusted.  Couches cleaned out/under.
• Kitchen straightened up, esp around bakers rack/butcher block
• Put the quilt fabric up

My dear wonderful husband, henceforth known as Gen. Deftone, will be home tomorrow ((today as it is about 1am technically)) - working from home, that is.  Hubby is in a terrible need of a new job.  He is unhappy and overstressed, not to mention the fact that the company is drowning - which would make anyone unhappy and overstressed anyway.  I do love that he is able to work from home once a week though. At first, when he worked at home my homeschooling/homemaking schedule - if you'd call it that - more like a flow - was completely disturbed.  The boys, Gen. Deftone and I have grown quite accustomed to it now.  We all sit at the kitchen table.  Daddy at one end with a laptop, Momma at the other end or walking about the table ((with a dirty dish or clean towel to fold wearing the new apron Nana got her over her pj's..)), boys in the middle.  It is sooo cute, really.  I'll definately miss this when he gets a new job.  Hopefully, he'll be able to work at home some.  I miss him so much while he is at work.

I have to go over to my boss' house tomorrow night to work.  I am a project administrator for a small company that installs tracking devices for company fleet vehicles among other things.  Boss and his wife are great friends of Gen. Deftone and mine. ((of Gen. Deftone and me? of mine and Gen. Deftone's? English experts, come forth))  We've all known each other since highschool.  The bummer thing is...I'm missing Bible Study AGAIN this week.  I'll still do the study...but I already missed one or two weeks in a row. 

I'll probably not have to cook tomorrow since Gen. Deftone is home.  He's an excellent cook. Much better than I am in fact.  I can't really cook unless I have a recipe, but Gen. Deftone can just start throwing things together and like magic ... 9 out of 10 times it comes out fabulous!  I'm not talking speghetti here folks, I'm talking gourmet!!  *laugh*

Well, I have finished my work for the night and am off to bed.

Praying for : lady in Bible Study who lost her husband recently; my daddy's best friend Billy who lost his wife recently; Gen. Deftone's job situation; and me to be the best mommy and wife I can.  

Praises:  Sister is getting better and is back to work after her terrible car accident day after Christmas
