Good morning!  My youngest is off at my parents for the week so it will at least be quiet around here, LOL.

-call tutor for oldest

-call Fitbit because Flex won't charge anymore (grrrr....it has already been replaced once and I am getting so sick of this design flaw)

-laundry (at least 5 loads, including one full of stinky baseball clothes)

-straighten up kitchen

-find all of youngest son's writing assignments from the past year and get them organized by week in a notebook

-take oldest to high school summer baseball practice (5-7)

-take oldest to all star summer baseball practice (7-10)

I do this often! Makes me feel productive to have things already crossed off.  ;)

 

My list:

 

School  - Summer school term begins today for us. Just mornings. Math, science, and reading for all, plus cursive for Ds and spelling for dd. Serious work to get us back into routine this morning. Hoping it will get easier.

 

P.O.

 

Target for Ds to buy new goggles and spend some birthday money. We NEED new Nerf swords as all 14 of ours are apparently defective! And we actually do need water guns.  :thumbup1:

 

Pool with friends

Library?

 

Dinner - burgers, jalapeno poppers and something with zucchini and yellow squash.

Breaking down "school planning" into mini steps

 

Blank planner pages made with subjects

Choose spines for science

Choose spines for history

Make reading lists for Lit

Make reading lists for historical literature

Decide on writing scope and sequence for Group 1 and Group 2

Decide on the grammar plan for Group 1 and Group 2

Break down spines into weekly assignments  - 12 weeks

Match up historical lit.

 

 

I do not love planning.  I love looking at plans.  This is such a switch from years ago when I loved the drudgery of the actual planning.  

 

I do love the excuse for the 2nd cup of coffee.  Let's add that to the list!!!

 

Make coffee

2nd cup of coffee

 

 

OOh!  And I finally got "really" dressed, let's add that and cross it off!

 

Get dressed

Make a plan for dinner

Take meat out of freezer

Dress and feed little humans

Email lady you want to plan a day with about homeschooling

Email DD about AmeriCorps because it's interesting

Email DH about the state U online engineering masters program

Check ACT for the 102nd time to see if scores came out early.

 

 

I adore padding the list.  It makes me look so productive.   :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Maybe my to do list should have looked like this:

 

 

Clean house

 internet repair man coming in PM.

 

 

 

It would have been good to have #1 on the list and realize #2 is on the list.

 

 

And, might I add, NO he did NOT break his neck slipping on Bananagram tiles all over my bedroom floor.

 

Hooray.

 

But, in my time of putting off planning I did manage to put up a screened tent in the backyard for daytime summer fun school, lol.

 

Have i mentioned I don't feel like planning?  :P :D

So. . . how did he break his neck? :leaving:

Lol! It may or may not have been on all the shoes in the entry way. Really, I need to use a calendar.

 

Congratulations to you and DS on the new job!!! That is so exciting!
