WIS0320 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Someone remind me when plotting school weeks for next year to just omit every week in February from our school calendar. I didn't think this was going to happen to me and yet here we are. I think it is harder to get motivated right now than it was during the busy holiday season. When does this mood usually perk up?

Guest Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I hear ya! I won't perk up about this school year until it's over. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We're on break all next week. It's our 3rd year doing a full week break in February. At this point ds may still be sitting in the classroom working on math on Monday. :glare: But I'm not doing any school next week. I.need.my.break.

~Tara~ Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 What a novel idea...just taking off February!! But seriously, I hear ya. We also have a break scheduled for next week. Yay! I've been 'baby stepping' there all month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassy Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We've had a week off this week because it's 'half-term' holiday for our local schools (DS12 goes to school, so we take time off when he's around - although he's away ski-ing this week anyway). I really, really needed the break. DS7 and DS4 have done a bit of reading each morning, and DS10 finished off some science on Monday morning, but other than that they've played, and spent rather more time playing on the Wii than they should :tongue_smilie:. I've spent most of the week doing some thorough tidying, cleaning and organising; it's a bit soul destroying, but just now, with most of it done, it feels quite delicious. I'm almost looking forward to school again next week in my newly clean, tidy, organised house. Sadly, it'll be as bad as ever in another or week or two :sad:. But at least by then it'll be March and almost Easter :001_smile:. It will get better ... Best wishes Cassy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIS0320 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 What a novel idea...just taking off February!! We're planning on schooling year round so I can see taking off at least a couple weeks in Feb. :tongue_smilie: I think I am so tired because it is like a race from Halloween to New Year's Eve and then two of my children have birthdays in January. Planning to include things for Advent in addition to school, preparing for Christmas with baking, gifting wrapping, trimming and then hitting January ready to plan a birthday party. Now I am knee deep in getting ready for Lent. I'm also crazy beginning to think about next school year. I just want to go to bed and sleep for a week! My daughter has spent the afternoon in bed listening to The Borrowers Afield on audio while doing some "art". It could be worse I guess.

athena1277 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I survive Feb because we start our school year early. We will be done by the end of April, so I get through Feb because I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Summer break here we come! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
