Tracey in TX Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Kids are driving me crazy and pummeling each other. My head is pounding and I'm wondering if I made a huge mistake hs'ing my high energy gaggle. What do y'all do on days like this? We haven't accomplished one entire lesson today where everyone participated. Honestly, we've only done science and spelling so far--and it's 1:30pm. I want to run for the hills... Suggestions, please? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli in TN Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Find them something to do that does not require your oversight, brew some hot tea for yourself and curl up with a book. If they disturb your peace, threaten them within an inch of their lives. Some days are just like this. I raise my cup o' tea to you in hopes that tomorrow is so wonderful that today becomes a blurry memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianne Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I am coming down with a cold and feel bad today. So the kids are getting a movie. If you feel the need to do educational things, may be games? How about just quiet time in their room? I hope your head feels better.

godpoetry Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 When I have a headache, my kids know to do their work or find something to do. The oldest takes care of the youngest. They watch television or a video. We usually keep things from the library for these occasions since I have migraines. It is o.k. to rest when not feeling well, that is one of the perks of homeschooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey in TX Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Thank you for the suggestions. We watched some mindless movies to calm down and regain our serenity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
