scrapbookbuzz Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Good morning, all, and welcome to the Lounge! Today's theme stems from the fact that my son starts General Science at a co-op this morning. Thought I had the right science book. I do. But it's the wrong edition. We have the first one and need the 2nd one. Seems like everywhere I turn these days, in regards to a group homeschool class, that the text needs to be a second edition. *sigh* Well, maybe he can share at least for today . . . What's not quite right with your day/week right now? Here: besides the textbook, my son's class is at 8am. I think he and I both feel this way about that: :svengo: What is RIGHT with your week? Here: tomorrow morning I'm going out into the desert with some other herbalists to see what we can wildcraft (harvest). Prickly pear fruit is in season so I hope to get some of that, and some chaparral. Anyone else part of a co-op that's starting this week? Here: ours starts today and I registered at the last minute! Talk to me! :bigear: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithManor Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Too much is packed into my week. So I am ready to see what I can possibly eliminate. That would make things a lot better. No co-op. The ones around here have never been academic, just play time, crafts, parties, etc. There have never been any high school ones. With a senior as my last homeschool student, I am swamped with things like DE, and getting trips to the DIA, DSO, FSO, and such arranged and packed into a schedule that includes my job one full day per week in PS as a STEM consultant, teaching space tech and engineering two nights per week, and handling the elderly grandmothers. What is right with my week is that a dear friend is doing some canning and freezing for me as a thank you for tutoring her grandson at no charge, and Dh is not in any pain with his hand plus has a light work schedule so he can do some helping out with errands and printing and compiling syllabi for those two classes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butter Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Not quite right: Someone at the place where my kids work is making life very stressful for everyone who works there. Right: We're still off school lol Co-op: We don't do so-ops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapbookbuzz Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Butter, I normally don't do co-ops, either. But this decision was made because: *it was a subject I had planned on teaching my son anyway *His best friend is in the class *it will help BFF's mom if I can give him a ride TO class since she has to go the opposite direction around the same time to take her special needs daughter to school *and it was one less thing I have to worry about lesson-planning for! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Why is it I'm so tired by the afternoon and have no motivation to teach my kids even though I know we need to "stick to the plan"? Ugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Not quite right: Too busy!! Right: We are doing well in our morning school routine. Co-op: Each kid in a tutorial. Dd's is Art, Drama and Literature. Ds' is Art and Drama. Different days and places. Both drop-off! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) Good afternoon! What's not right is that my chest x-ray last week shows a very small spot that they can't tell what it is, so I need a CT scan. My EKG showed a couple non-specific things that they aren't sure if they are normal to me, so I need a stress test. Neither place has called me to schedule yet, and I'm anxious, so I wish they would. Also, dd moved back to college Sunday, so I'm going to miss her. What is right is that I watched the eclipse yesterday in TN with my best friend and the kids. It was awesome! We also have our homeschool support group's kick-off party this Saturday. It should be fun! I direct a co-op that started August 11th. We have 62 kids and 26 moms. We offer science, literature and/or writing (depending on age group), and electives. This is our 6th year. We only meet every other week, so it doesn't take over our lives.
