Critterfixer Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I just realized I forgot to start the thread this morning! :svengo: I have had a very productive day. The family and I went out exploring a new water area, complete with waterfall and beautiful little deep swimming hole below. We played nearly all morning, swimming in the cold water and sitting under the fall and just communing with nature. I'm writing this evening and really making progress on the novel. So a good time was had by all, and we'll do school tomorrow. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hard to get back to work after such a nice day yesterday. But the schedule is done for the day, so I'll crack the whip in about an hour and get the day going. French-none today Latin-keep working on lesson 24 Math-quiz, 1 page Key to Decimals Grammar/Comp-New spelling list, exercise in KISS grammar on plural formation--good review, and finish lesson 10 in Grammar of Poetry History-Cp 2 in Arkansas State History, continue, narration instead of question today, because the section lends itself well to narration; read cp 9 in La Salle Science-Cp 2, section on Glaciers and Icebergs (kind of ironic given the weather outside!), answer questions, continue reading in Minn of the Mississippi Literature-continue reading As You Like It Art-project on using pencils soft to hard--I'm giving them two art sessions for this project For me: Latin, Geometry, Writing, Housekeeping. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad you guys had a fun day, I know you needed it after working. Nothing much here today just piano lesson and me reading. So, when is everybody's start date for school? Are you ready?

Critterfixer Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Kitty is doing okay, but she has her recheck with the specialist tomorrow, so we'll find out how things are going then. Our fall term starts in August, sometime. Maybe. Am I ready? Not quite! :laugh: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you have left to do if anything? Yes, we are so glad to be healthy again. It was 2 weeks from when dd first got sick til I was feeling better, with the boys sick in between. Dd will have off Aug 22- Sept 5. No math or anything. Then we'll start 3rd grade and kindergarten on Sept 6. Am I ready? Nope. Not even close. I don't even have all my pieces purchased yet! My goal is to spend an hour per day minimum on planning during the month of August. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Back from the kitty's eye appointment. Things look good. For now. Story of my life. :laugh: Kitty has an odd eye condition where she has viral issues and autoimmune issues. It's a circus ride as to which one we are treating from week to week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahamamama Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Hi, ladies, just checking in with all of you Accountability People. ;) We're on summer break, and that's a good thing. I may need to have my gallbladder removed, so if that is the case, I hope the surgery happens before September. It is what it is, KWIM? Actually, if it's a "simple" matter of my gallbladder needing to come out, then I will be relieved at this point. The girls are enjoying more free time, lazy days, crafting, playing, reading, napping, spending time with bunnies, and helping me cook and run the house. We still have read alouds going, of course -- a chapter book, some history, some science. Also this summer, we've been exploring the topics of puberty, personal care, human anatomy, and how babies form inside the womb. The girls have been fascinated! :) Up next this summer: Music Camp (here at home) Science Camp (here at home) Chess & Strategy Games (here at home) Library summer events Vacation Bible School #2 (last one for oldest daughter) Small sewing projects (here at home, hopefully we can do this) As you can see, we're not really going anywhere. Everything "out there" -- except VBS and the library -- costs more than what I have, times three kids. I was concerned about this, but the girls seem truly happy and content to be home. So, I can let that worry go, right? If you pray, please pray for me. Thanks! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art-free draw today For me: catch up on housekeeping (yesterday's work and today's), Latin, Geometry, Writing. I am at 40K on my novel rewrite, and I want to hit 50K by Friday.

MrsRobinson Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Sahamamama- thanks for the update! Sounds like your girls are having a great summer. I am sorry to hear about your health issues. I hope it's resolved quickly for you. Our math marathon is going well. Staying on target for that 2 week break. Piano has been especially fun too. Breaking into challenging techniques is fun. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 DD, while still on antibiotics, started running a fever again and has a very red throat. I guess it's back to the doctor tomorrow, since JO is NEXT WEEK and she needs to be healthy. She'll be devastated if she can't compete or does poorly because she's ill. She's worked so hard to get to this point. In school news, we're plugging away at English and math. Everything else is just books to read. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggieMama Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 This week has been a light week for us. The girls have been doing school on the computer this week with Reading Eggs and Mathseeds. Oldest DD finished all the lessons on Reading Eggs last night!!!!! She's also read three Bad Kitty chapter books and a couple of really thin chapter books. This is amazing in my book because there are very few books she'll pick up. We've also been at missions camp all week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 I worked today. The boys played with cousins that came up to visit. They appear to have spent most of the day up to their gills in a cool lake. They should be tired tonight! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
