Today has been smooth sailing so far...we got most of our school work done, but my allergies are really acting up, so we settled for 1/2 day. Heather is with a friend right now and I suppose I should be studying...still can't get up the energy to crack that book open. I've got over a week until my class starts, so I have plenty of time to read the required chapters.

The dogs are barking nonstop...I think I hear them even when they have stopped.  We have a boxer, a beagle, and a pug. The beagle is the worst!!! She will bark at the wind blowing if you let her. The boxer is so strong that he broke a window a few weeks ago. And the pug is my pride and joy...he's so sweet and innocent. (Can you guess which dog is mine?)

I'm considering joining the "dating game" again...I met someone at church that seems very nice...and obviously a decent guy...we will see where it goes.

Back to school...I'm sure we won't finish this curriculum by June *sigh*...we went through this last year and here we go again. I'm thankful for the recent edition of the magazine which makes me realize that I'm (or we are) not a failure because everything isn't done...get done what you can and move on. I just have to keep reminding myself of that. We have made excellent progress this year and I plan on having at least one month off of school over the summer...I am also ordering my Sonlight curriculum soon so I'm ready for September...maybe if I have all of the materials I won't be so negligent in starting "on time".

I'm FULL of contradictions today. I need to get out of the "school" mindset...everything does NOT have to be done according to a schedule...I should write that down and post it in every room of this house so I can't forget it!!!
