Critterfixer Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Must be a sports night. The boys, DH and I watched the first disc on Ken Burn's Baseball saga, borrowed from the library, since there is no baseball action until Tuesday. Somehow, I don't think we'll get through the first five discs I borrowed by then. The whole thing is 10, and each is about 145 min long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidlit Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Good Morning! I was a bad teacher last week. Really light week, very little work done, no real reason. We were supposed to have SIL over, so I did quite a bit of cleaning, but not enough to justify my lack of work. And then, SIL didn't even come over. *sigh* Wound up giving myself major anxiety last night over it, and couldn't get to sleep because all I could think about was how I was ruining my kids education for life. Blah. So today, I am determined we are going to work hard. And continue to do so all week. I spent lots of time planning our work for the next several weeks and I am going to put all that planning to use. I got everyone up and dressed, we were going to start out by taking a walk, but.....it just started raining. Anyway, on tap for school DS5- Letter of the week ETC MEP Reading Thinking Skills DD7- Daily Math ETC MIF SW Reading TTL DD8- Daily Math ETC MIF SW Reading Roots Writing Problem Solving And then for everyone I have a Mummy story to read to do some activities with this week. After we are done with school, I just need to gather some supplies for tomorrow. Non school stuff, I need to go to the bank to make a deposit and do some transfers and other banking, and I also need to take back some light bulbs that I bought yesterday but don't work. I am not feeling good today, but we have got to get moving. I am tired, it's that time of the month, etc. We all have weeks like that! Don’t beat yourself up. This week will be a good one—I can tell by your determination! [emoji1373] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids and teachers benefit from it, I find. I bumped up our next week break to next week from mid November because everyone here is needing that time to relax, write, draw, get outside in the good fall weather and just generally rest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critter-do you know of all the puppies found homes? Are you doing nanowrimo this year? Our day will run much the same as yesterday, at least I hope it will.

Oldest did ok as well, not everything eats done but we worked hard and accomplished much. Today's schedule Devotional Latin Math Composition/grammar/spelling Literature Christian studies Recitation Science tutoring for oldest and guitar lesson for youngest. Mid week service and bed. I joined a book club and am hoping to read at least one chapter tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommaduck Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Because of the move, we are still in "getting things together" mode. Today we accomplished buying outfits for the Greek Bazaar and new clothes several of the kids. Tonight, it'll be more OneNote set up and scheduling, as well as some minor cleaning. I think the move is catching up with me and I'm coming down with a cold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
