I'm still using it as "you get a prize." I've known and chosen to ignore the ''thanks'' for a while now.

Another Lynn Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Humph day! Coffee! Rain, and lots of it! Yay for saving the bunk bed! Yay for being ready for pod packing! Maize - on the music practice issue - is it more difficult for those who homeschool or more for those who go to school? (You have some of both, right?) For a long time, I required my youngest to do music practice first, before school work. Now, I let her choose when she does it. For the three who take lessons, "practice" is a block in their school planner. I don't know if that's helpful. Or if you were feeling more JAWM. I have ok-ish EF skills (okay, I struggle a bit with task initiation, lol), but I totally feel the lack when it comes to making up for everyone else's, lol. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Good morning! A Very Loud and Bright Thunderstorm woke everyone up this morning. Too early. The creek out back is almost up to it's lower bank. I have to go check the park across the street. If it's a lake, we're in trouble. I need to make two phone calls. I'm taking dd16 to the Big City this morning to see The Crucible. Maize, as Lynn used to say, it's hard being the frontal lobe for the entire family.

I want more. Going to work. And I need to fold laundry. This is going to sound like a stupid question, BUT...I learned to read music as I learned to play instruments. Dd took a couple years piano lessons, but was little, and a semester of guitar lessons. Both kids have had me doing basic piano instruction at home. Dd is self-teaching piano now, but asked me for more instruction in reading music. How do I do that? Do I just use the music theory books from piano? Or what? Depending on what she knows and what she needs, flash cards might help with note recognition and speedier recall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't tell anyone but, we're going to play hokey from church tonight and go to soccer so he can get his uniform, he's so excited for it this year. I did our taxes last night, we're getting a refund!!
