Sept 10

Posted in Home Schooling

I’m feeling a bit apprehensive about this week.  I’m not sure why.  I’m looking forward to the material we’ll cover – and the activities we have planned this week.  I think I’m just tired.

 

I’m beginning to notice how much I do each week.  Normally, I don’t stop to think about it, but now that the kids are getting more involved in extra-curric activities (which is a very good thing), I’m starting to feel the affects of it.  Homeschooling is a big part of each day…understandably.  I enjoy learning with the girls and watching them blossom.  However, there are so many other things to be done.  There’s the house and its upkeep.  Then there is the spiritual training, the disciplining, and the encouraging of the kids.  There’s a toddler to run after most of the day… grocery shopping… cooking.  Then, as if that’s not enough, I teach 15 credit hours of college courses and am developing 1 course too this semester.  Oh, and there are church activities, bible class I teach, scouts and tennis for Sarah, cheerleading for Rachel, a community bible study which requires daily study time, and a husband who is discouraged and needs my support and encouragement.  *sigh*  That’s another post altogether.  I’m really not a complainer.  In fact, I really never talk about my feelings to people.  Perhaps that’s why I tend to vent in my blogs from time to time.  I know I must sound like a bit whiner… so pardon me if I do. 

 

This week, we’ll finish our study of Marco Polo, then move on to Columbus.  It’s hard to read the girls, so I’m not sure if they’re excited about that or not.  In Science, we’ll dive into the planet Earth this week.  Math will be interesting this week as I attempt to move beyond percentages with Rachel and continue with geometry with Sarah.  I think we cover the area of triangles tomorrow.  Spelling/Geography (Sarah) will be African countries, and grammar studies with Rachel.  Ahhh.. a fun and exciting week of learning.  Oops!  I just remembered that I promised Sarah a field trip in early September.  I better try to fit one in this week too.

 

Y’all have a good one.  ~K

Well, I really didn't mean this in a complimentary way. I've got way a great deal on my plate and get quite depressed about DH's lack of involvement in our lives.
