I got home and realized that I don't have the right Sing, Spell, Read and Write program for Princess. She needs K and it is level 1. It is also missing numerous parts and is quite dusty and dirty. Yuck. This particular charter school is not generous with new curriculum orders. They are better about reimbursement of YMCA classes, but right now none of the kids are enrolled in extracurricular classes, so I'm starting to rethink where I have the kids enrolled. DH started night school today. He is in a one year allied health program. He left at 4 pm today and classes start at 7 p.m., but he has a 50 mile drive in commuter traffic. (Yuck) He called at almost 6 p.m. to say that he was in the classroom and had already picked up his textbooks from the bookstore. (I had pre-ordered them online for an exorbitant $298!) The difference between new and used texts was only about $60, but DH has issues about using used books – the germs & he thinks its annoying to see highlighting from other people. I went to the bank with the girls today and deposited $240 that I had saved from one of my side jobs and for the cell phone reimbursement from my parents portion of our family share plan. We had just enough to pay for his books. I dropped on 2 dvds at the library today. I couldn't renew them past the 3 weeks that the teacher’s card allows. Tomorrow is trash day so I need to round up the trash around the house - bathrooms and kids rooms as well as clean out the fridge. I cleaned the kids hallway bathroom today & worked on the kitchen. With the kids help, we accomplished the following household chores before homechool: cleaned the kitchen table and set out a new tablecloth vacuumed the kitchen and living room floors tucked in the sofa & loveseat covers loaded and unloaded the dishwasher My toddler got a shower today. As usual, he screamed a lot, but he let me wash his hair without too much fuss. By the end of the shower, he didn't want to come out. (Of course!) |
