imeverywoman Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I'm itching to change things up a bit, but haven't had the time to really plan it out. I'm hoping for a blizzard to hit so I'll be forced to stay home, but that might not happen. :D My plan is to start up again on Monday, but you know that little ditty about plans, mice and men? Ayup. That'll be me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 The 5th. We'll be starting that day back with co-op. The 6th we'll start back at home. Monday for you! I need one more week to recover from the whirlwind that was December before Christmas!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakaal Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 We're taking another week off. Dh had last week and next week off work and we're going to hopefully just relax and play next week. We'll start back to school work on Jan 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 We have a family birthday next week and DH is off until then, and frankly I needed the break too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Back on the 6th. DH was given the 5th as an extra day off, so that means the kids get it too. But then, the 6th is Epiphany. Maybe we'll take that one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 DS is doing light school through winter break. We'll start everything Jan 5th. DD has a few things from home to do but doesn't go back until Jan 20, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquirrellyMama Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 We are starting back on the 5th. I am using these days off to deep clean the house and plan school. It's been a nice break. My dh is off two days next week anyway so we decided to put off school until we can do a full week. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Jan 11th. Dd goes with her dad for 9 days on the 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 We're starting back on the 5th, too. I need to do some planning, I need to get my new laptop set up how I like it (man, it's nice, but I don't like change--I can't find anything), and dh has the week off, Judo is cancelled, and piano is cancelled. Since you aren't getting a blizzard, here's a snowball . I think you should take this week off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janna Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) I'm hoping to start on this Monday the 29th. I guess I'm just thinking that as long as we're healthy and have nothing else going on, why not? Edited December 27, 2008 by Janna needed to add the date for clarification that it's not the 5th.

LaxMom Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Monday. My kids desperately need to get back to their regular routine. I plan to look over our schedule and see where we need to play catch up and make adjustments, but we are definitely starting again on Monday.

Jules Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 We are starting back on Monday, the 5th, too. I need some of the down time and by that time my kids are ready to get back to a regular schedule. We may go to the library on the Friday before that, just to gear up for that Monday morning. I would like some time to rethink some curriculum and especially to get some things scheduled. I wish I could de-clutter some before the new year....but I don't seem to get that accomplished.

Jenny in Florida Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 That's when my daughter's college classes resume. So, at the moment my plan is to deposit her back in her dorm on either Saturday or early Sunday (depending on how much time she wants to settle in before classes start), then drive back and be ready to start here on Monday. We ended our first semester very behind in some subjects, though. So, before we can really start, I have to sit down with all the books and my original plans and figure out how to redistribute everything to get it done on time.

5knights3maidens Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Probably the 5th. I'm dying for ds to finish his black death lapbook. This week I will be getting the booklets ready for the King Henry VIII lapbook we will be doing next. We haven't done that much reading this year which has me disappointed but, Tom is really enjoying the lapbooks. So, I guess if he is learning that way I need to stick with it. We follow along with SOTW 2. I'm really finding out that every child I homeschool is so different in their learning styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phathui5 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 The 5th here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 altho I'd planned on the 5th of January, baby has decided to arrive much later than hoped. The earliest would be the 12, but realisticly I don't see starting up just 2 weeks after her birth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaKinVA Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Monday... the 28th of December. We have an unscheduled break coming when the baby is born... so need to do something now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Everything starts back on the 5th for us - gymnastics, preschool, home studies. At least choir doesn't start until later in the month, but we're going to have an extra hour at the gym this session because Sylvia's starting classes! :001_huh: 5knights3maidens - black death lapbook... kind of like our "10 plagues" stickerbook, huh? ;) I can relate though, I'm pretty eager to start our human body studies.

happyWImom Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I would like to start on Monday, the 29th-but the kids are so wrecked from all of the business & less sleep, I'm having to play it by ear! I think we all need to get back on a schedule though, and as soon as possible. We are all totally getting on each others nerves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Our first official day will be the 7th. DH returns to work on the 5th, and I'll also start back to tutoring that day. Tuesdays are for classes and field trips here, so we'll get back in the swing of things that day, grab the stuff we need from the library, and both kids will resume dance classes. Then the 7th will be a light day, and we'll keep it light all that week to ease back into the routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetTN Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 January 5th. That is if dd can hold out for another week:001_smile: Normally she is bored and ready to start studies right after Christmas. I could really use a few more days to relax!

ereks mom Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 We are usually off from Thanksgiving through New Year's, but this year, we shifted our time off to coincide with ER's college schedule. We were off the week of Thanksgiving and then had school for the first three weeks of December. We've been off for a week now, and will be off two more weeks, starting back on the 12th.

coffeefreak Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I wanted to start the 5th, but my in-laws aren't leaving until the 4th. Two of my good friends have already told me they'll come rescue my dd's from my evil clutches if I try and force them back into school on the 5th.:lol: I think they're right:glare: So, my parents left this morning, in-laws come in on Wed, and we'll probably start back on Thursday the 8th. I always thought public schools were stupid for doing things like that, but this year, I kind of get it. We need to ease back in. Blessings!

Tree House Academy Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 We will be starting back on January 5. My oldest son went to be with his dad for a week today, so we can't start until he comes home. It will just be me and my little next week and I am looking forward to some just "me and him" time. :) Next week will also be a planning week so I can get things together for the new year. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kari C in SC Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I guess he'll have to hang out in his crate while we do school.Michelle T We got a new puppy back in October. Twice a week my niece and two nephews join my dd to science. The puppy run from foot to foot nibbling their toes! She really thinks they come over just for her fun! I had to stick her in the crate a couple times because it was impossible to get any school done with them. She is doing much better now, though. Good luck!

dm379 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 We've done a little bit all this week and start back full tomorrow. I want to get as much of their school in while I'm on break so that when my work and school start up again in 2 weeks I can go a little easier on them.
