I love when announcements like this come over the "intercom": It's officially a Sun Day at Olive Street School (our homeschool name). Kids and teachers are not required to attend classes today due to the beautiful weather. The principal has learned that an arctic air mass is heading into the area tomorrow, so warm, sunny days will be but a distant memory for the next two weeks. Get outside, take some good books to read out loud, and go play. Classes will officially resume tomorrow.

My beautiful, wonderful girl is 12 today. I can hardly believe it. My life is so enriched by her presence. I love you Shannon!

Sad. Our very old cat took a sudden turn for the worse and die en route to the vet. Making a paw cast now ;-(

Pls forgive my tone. I think I'm a little tired this week.

Read the first two parent questionnaires from my preschool class..."100% energy! Goes to bed at 11pm" and "veeery energetic!" Should be fun little class of mostly boys!

First week of self-education done, and I've already learned tons that we never touched on in school!

We finally finished RSM Level E today with a month to spare before starting the next school year.
