Renai Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 We stick to the public school schedule, so I'm sure all you finishing started early. We start after Labor Day which gives us a nice August, but a miserable May and June with Spring Fever. Before we moved, I'd be wrapping things up and calling it good enough around now. And then there's us, with no end in sight. At all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) Good coffee. I'm going to have to give up coffee forever. It has been confirmed that even decaf is causing my blood pressure to rise to ridiculous proportions. Oh, well.

Renai Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 This is me this year, too. I know how you feel. But I haven't bought anything, and have only planned half of it. I've been out of whack since February, though. I think I am starting to recover - just in time for summer break. Public schools end here on May 24, so I'll be ready to really get started with my girls on the 26th. [insert evil laugh] First week of June, Gymnast has a week of soccer camp. The last week in June, Dancer will go to a week-long residence at St. John's College, if she can raise the other portion of the money... Other than that, we're pushing forward to finish stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I'm so jealous of you all finishing up school! The schools here don't get out until mid-June. And it's gloomy and cold outside in May instead of spring-like and warm. I want to go back to bed. Hi, Paige! Welcome here! Not all of us are finishing up yet. In our house we have had a number of disruptions and interruptions, so we have two main subjects we will be working on over the summer, with other snippets of stuff thrown in. I hope it warms up for you soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 My goals for summer break are to potty train ds and teach him to sleep in his own bed. 😒 I think we will be able to get Gymnast back in her own bed. She had started sleep walking again, and she'll walk right off the bed if not caught. :svengo: She hasn't had an incident in a while (maybe a month or so), so I'll be putting her mattress on the floor next to mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 It's ok, shy person. Sometimes I read other people's threads when I'm bored. It's comforting, like people warching. Warching, eh? That sounds so country. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We start after Labor Day which gives us a nice August, but a miserable May and June with Spring Fever. Before we moved, I'd be wrapping things up and calling it good enough around now. Before the kids' cousins moved away we were following the local school schedule fairly tightly. Their school schedules up where the cousins are still do affect our calendar because we see each other every other month or so, so I coordinate breaks when we can. It doesn't help, though, that the two households of cousins up there have differing school schedules, right down to different weeks for spring break.

lanalouwho Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 The corner store had coffee. I'm all good now. We've finished our handwriting book and next week we come to a good break spot for math. We have about 2 weeks left for our prehistory stuff, which we may go through faster now that everything else is wrapping up. We'll probably still do a little phonics through our break. Weapon X has his first (karate) belt test on Tuesday. We're looking good for taking all of June off and starting back up in July.

Renai Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 There may be a 10 yo still sleeping in my bed. I'm not saying there is, just that there MAY be. :leaving: He is potty trained, though. :hurray: Dancer was in our bed for a while. She had her own bed, but she didn't necessarily sleep in it all time. By 8, she slept in her bed periodically, by 10 she was still in our room of the time, but on a mattress beside our bed. I got pregnant with Gymnast when Dancer was 10.5, and she was in her bed most of the time. When she was sick or lonely she'd come to our room even after Gymnast was born. Have you ever have a kid lay across your feet? That was her compromise for being big for our bed. :laugh: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year our public schools started the second week of August and end May 24th. I have occasionally started in July when it is hot and no one wants to do anything outside, but it depends on summer activities. This summer we have no activities so if I can get my act together we might start early again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 The nice weather is definitely a factor in us rushing the end date. Spring is short here and this is the only month of the year where my children beg to spend hours outside. AHA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73349 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) I think underpricing labor has kept wages unfairly low for educators and many others. I'd encourage you to pay yourself fairly (but invite those struggling to afford it to contact you privately & explain their situation and work out a payment plan).

lots of little ducklings Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Welcome, ALD! Or do you prefer being called Little? I'm still suffering from the tetanus shot so when dh announced to me at 7:45am that he had suddenly decided to take a sick day (for himself, ahem) and demolish a wall thirty minutes before the piano teacher was to arrive, I was still half asleep with a sore head and not exactly as receptive to the idea as he had hoped. :blink: Ah well. At least it's finally getting done. I scrapped school for the day and will escape shortly (with the kids, so escape isn't exactly the right word) to get supplies for tonight's PG sleepover. The Talking Tom Cat toy from McDonald's (that is apparently shoved in the back of the kids' closet) is wailing with every pound of the hammer and every rip of the drywall, "My head is spinning!

KrissiK Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) It's one of those days!! Warning, Educational Post Ahead; We did get our spelling test done. And verse quiz. Bible is done (we're reading the bio of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Fridays we do 't do our regular Bible, we read bios from the Christian Heros: Then and Now Series). Now, the kids are all doing their math speed drills. Youngest DD is crying because she hates subtraction and oldest DD is yelling at her for crying. DS just unclogged a toilet. It's very windy outside. I hate wind. Kicks up all the dust and pollen. And that concludes my report.
