Night Elf Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Start? No. How about ready to quit? Yep! Hopefully it will come out kittens and roses. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 We do, too! We don't actually take the summer off, but we've been on break while we finished some construction projects, then buttoned up for the storm. I am soooooo ready for my kids to be back in their normal routine. They are losing their minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Peach Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 We are! We are out of power, but the storm has passed. The generator is powering the computer/internet. We are ready to go and school will go on as scheduled! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newlifemom Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Over here. :seeya: Which of course means, less time here. :crying: And that really means I spend wayyyy too much time here. :o Oh well. Tomorrow and 5 kids to home educate, here we come. :auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth in WA Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 We go to our full schedule tomorrow. We don't actually take the summer off, doing math and writing year round. We also started chemistry 4 weeks ago since ds15 is shooting for the AP exam in May. I am not feeling entirely ready for the full schedule, especially since we got a new little furbaby last Wednesday who has disrupted our schedule ever since. Some smart person was giving away kittens at y ds13 and dd9's gymnastics club. I made of the mistake of letting them call and ask daddy if they could one. The kitten is adorable, of course, but terribly disruptive to our schedules and will be for a while since I estimate her age at no more than 5 weeks in spite of what we were told by the person giving them away. On the up side, my daughter suddenly sees an advantage to homeschooling over going off to public school with the neighbor kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breadnbutter Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 We're starting tomorrow! So ready to put my plan into action.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OK Family Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 We start tomorrow. We usually don't start school til labor day, but this year we'll be traveling during labor day. I'd rather start a week early to accomplish a full week without traveling (we travel between two states every couple of weeks). I am very ready for us all to have a schedule again! Have a great first week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Jessica* Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 We're starting tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous, as this is my first year with two students AND I have a 12 day old baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paintedlady Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 We do. First time in 5 years that I'm not excited about it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momma2three Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 We started last week, but it was all very tentative and I was just bumbling my way through. I feel much more organized this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyful Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 We start tomorrow!:thumbup: My youngest wants to start Kindergarten "in September." So, I've agree to let our co-op day this Friday be his first day of school. It gives me some time to get the older two started. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janna Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 We are also. As My Crazy House said, we usually school through the summer. However this summer has been unusually busy for all of us. For the sake of my sanity, I let go of the summer schooling. So tomorrow we get more serious about picking up where we left off in June and getting back into our study habits.

Janna Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 We do. First time in 5 years that I'm not excited about it either. Yes, same here, oddly enough. Although for me, it's the first time in 7 years. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailofsparks Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 We'll be easing our way into the year, too. I'm not excited this year. . . . Will "fake it til I make it"! Thankful that my dc are excited anyway :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amey311 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 We do, but a slow start. We have a box of books arriving on Thursday, so we'll be on the full schedule next week (with Monday off for Labor Day, I'm sure, since DH will be off). I haven't done anything fun for tomorrow (no cinnamon rolls, no french toast, etc which we've done in the past). It completely slipped my mind until this morning and then we spent most of the day out of the house. I might see if I can make cinnamon rolls tonight (assuming I don't just give in to laziness once the kids are in bed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nestof3 Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Well, I failed already. I was supposed to get up at 7:00 am, but didn't get up until 8:00 am. I will just work out tonight instead. So, off to start. Have a great day, all! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Jessica* Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Good Luck and do what you can. That's the best part of homeschooling. Start easy and add in what you can! :) Thanks! So far, so good. I'm having a harder time with the kindergartener than the baby. :tongue_smilie: He's not fighting doing the work, but it just takes him so l o n g to do everything! I thought waiting until he turned 6 to start K would help with that, but I think I'm finding that it's just his personality. I'm just going to focus on reading, writing, and math with him and let him join in on the rest if he feels like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side, I DID make cinnamon roll dough last night so there are rolls in the oven RIGHT NOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Going good so far here. Some things took longer than expected and some shorter, so it worked out in the end. Now, dd is painting and ds decided he wants to play with his new b-day toys instead. We still have some music appreciation- will introduce composer and play a piece during lunch. After lunch we're doing read-alouds. I got up early here, thank goodness, I went to bed early so I'd have a good start and thanks to God I slept good. I need to do some work on the different schedules I have as there not coordinated enough together. Dd didn't care to do most of the stuff I had planned but kept herself busy regardless. She's only 4 though and I don't want to push her, so whatever she wants to do is fine. I certainly didn't do anything formal w/ ds until 5.
