Critterfixer Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Almost the half-way point in September, y'all. I just checked my writing goals for the month and I'm ahead in one place, behind in others. I foresee a long day of editing, writing and reading today. I've also got a watercolor project that I really need to splash some color on today. There's the usual laundry, cooking and picking up to do as usual. I also need to plan out the upcoming week. That will probably take priority this morning so that I can work all afternoon on writing and painting. ETA: For anyone wondering what this thread is about, it's just a place to come and post your plans, hopes, dreams and pie-in-the-sky for the week, and update them by the day if you choose. :001_smile: Edited September 10, 2017 by Critterfixer 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 We've got an emotionally charged week coming up--MIL's funeral on Tuesday and dh's youngest brother's wedding on Wednesday. Fortunately they are in the same area and we don't have to travel far. I've got paperwork stuff to take care of, decisions to make about children's activities for the coming year, and a storage shed to order--been sitting on that for a couple of weeks trying to figure out size and features for maximum use at minimum cost, I've almost made a decision. This is my newest battle campaign in the war to make a small house fit a large family--move some of the stuff outside. A shed is cheaper than an addition to the house (or a new house!) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mama25angels Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Maize, I'm so sorry about your MIL. Congratulations on your BIL's wedding! We are having trouble with our vehicle so need to find out what's wrong, get it fixed and do it before piano on Wednesday and co op on Thursday. I also need to revamp my co op class, I think I'd like to try and finish the book in 18 weeks, which means, we need to do more chapters each week, it'll stretch the kids, especially my boy but, I don't necessarily think that's a bad idea. We are off school tomorrow except, piano practice, because it's oldests birthday, they opted to work on Saturday so we could have the actual day off.

CadenceSophia Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Oh maize, I'm sorry about your MIL. Take care of yourself this week. It's so easy to put yourself last with so much intensity on your husband's side of the family. --- DH took my oldest hunting so I can't plan much for school for him. They could be back tomorrow evening or stay until weds night, depending on if they get lucky or not. I have a cold with a very sore throat so I'm going to take it easy and do art, math games and handwriting with the younger set but otherwise take it easy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyof1 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) My condolences Maize. Bought one of those books that you can write in and erase, for DD4 to practice writing her numbers. It's for her to do when she wants. She wanted to this morning and did several on her own. Read different sections from the Core Knowledge Series. Listen to music and played. Cartoons and breakfast Done multiple audio books Done BP and Ray's lesson. She read Bob book. More read alouds at bedtime.

Come home and tackle laundry and supervise some schoolwork. When dd14 gets home go shopping for clothes--I realized some of my kids don't have what they need for the funeral and wedding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 The boys are finishing up Geography. That finishes us for the day. I still have housekeeping to do, and I need to decide if I want to cook tonight or just have leftovers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CadenceSophia Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 My littles each did math and handwriting. Now they are working on an Ed Emberly book of fingerprint characters. Super cute little scenes being created on my kitchen table. Baby and toddler are down for their nap. This beautiful little moment of calm almost makes up for the chaos that was wake up through the start of art time lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mama25angels Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Good afternoon ladies, we had no internet this morning so had to wait to post. We did no school yesterday because we worked Saturday so we could have it off. The morning started off rocky with the 4th grader, he spent most of the morning crying every time I asked him to do something. In between the crying jags he got his spelling, Latin, math and most of his literature done. The older one has gotten his science, math and his Latin quiz done and all with a good attitude. We've gone for our run/walk and now we're preparing for our afternoon sessions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadenceSophia Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 DH and DS9 are sill hunting. They got ptarmigan but are still looking for caribou.. Or moose or bear if they find one of those first. Not much school planned for the little two today. It's super nice not to have the pressure of "real school". I do have a French lesson scheduled for my 2 year old.. I booked a different teacher every day this week to see if we can find one to work with him. His french is really dropping off compared to English and I want him to be ready to do CNED (French correspondence school) when he gets to preK age. He just needs another regular contact besides me, and I don't have anyone I can ask right now. Hopefully one of them works out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CadenceSophia Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 We did pretty well today. DD decided she'd finish 2/3 of a light unit in exchange for one day off math and being allowed to bake a cake. I agreed, not thinking she'd do it, but she did. I had planned to make the cake anyway to celebrate the end of the Cassini mission early tomorrow morning. So we ended up making a great Saturn/Cassini cake. DS did the normal. He had trouble focusing today after his fun trip but I'm sure tomorrow will be even better for him. Tomorrow DD will just have L/A to finish for the week. DS9 has a bunch that I had planned but we obviously won't finish a weeks worth of work in two days so I'll just see how long he can hold out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
