Critterfixer Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Good morning. Tomorrow begins the first week of summer term, but I'm not feeling up to starting anything new. I think we'll have a light week. The boys have a vacation with grandparents coming up and that gives me two weeks to kind of get my act together for summer school. Today's schedule: critique a synopsis for a writer (talk about the blind leading the blind!), gather the critique stuff I've had with my query from the week in one place and see if I've addressed most of the points in my new query, work on two more pitches for my novel, finish rewriting a problem scene, and get all those revisions into the chapter, check it, and call it good, start edits on the next chapter, get a chapter off to a critique partner, check those pitches with my critique partners, get them off to an editor who has graciously not only offered help with pitches but wants to read my novel as a Beta reader!, write up the grocery list, do a couple of query critiques, clean the bathroom because it's scary in there, cook something for supper and don't die of this headache that I woke up with. Tall orders. I think I might need more caffeine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama25angels Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Good morning. I think we'll take next week completely off, except for devotions, and start summer school after that. I'm tired and just want to relax completely! Today is Sunday service and picking up grocery order. critter, I hope your headache gets better and that you are able to get your list accomplished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaRED6 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I'm writing this at 11pm. Well we've had the last month off so we are headed "back to school". I've accomplished a lot today: church actually relaxing a bit today (amazing I know) cleaning the house cleaning out school desks and refilling them with new notebooks, supplies making lesson plans for the oldest two putting up and setting up our AAS board reviewing and preparing for the lessons I hope to get to tomorrow personal Bible reading I'm off to bed and hope to check in tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaRED6 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Well looks like I'm first, good morning all. ? So far so good, sorta ? Today I have group class with my PreK4, K, and 1st grader (English and Math). Then a bit more time with the 1st grader 1:1. Then on to the 3rd graders to introduce them to their new English notebooks. I'll get some Math done with them. In the afternoon I plan on slowing down to have "tea time" with cuddles, coloring and a read along using our new Action Bible. ? If I make it that far we might get to a quick read through of our history lesson today. Today's dinner is going to be a crockpot dinner I already know. ? Also normal housekeeping, cooking and caring for the baby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaRED6 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hello all ? Due to a long night we are having a bumpy start this morning. (I have yet to get coffee ? ) But I'm looking forward to introducing a time for catechism during morning time, then hit English, Math, and Science throughout the day. During our afternoon reading time I think I will bring out more manipulatives to keep the kids in the room. ? The major goal today is to get all the prep work and grading done at a reasonable hour tonight so I can get some much needed sleep. Time for more coffee. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mama25angels Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Good morning Today's schedule I don't know! I don't think we're going to start school next week, we're going to get the house in order and restart the following week. We're going to continue vacation this week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Planning, planning, planning. Also chores. I think I finally have DD's stuff settled for "next year" (starting August 1 - I need to get my rear in gear and get stuff ordered!). She really wanted to do the Groovy Kids chocolate study, so I've got that planned. DD actually turned in her essay for her So Verbose class early, so that's not hanging over our heads this weekend, and next week is the last class for that. We're taking July off because everyone needs a break. Today: vacuum the house, do the laundry, grocery shopping (done!), and wrap my niece's birthday present (done!). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
