Scholastically Thinking

Sometimes you have to stay up late to make it happen in the morning. I had hoped to skip out Saturday morning to plan my school week. Instead, we stayed up late Friday night till about 5AM Saturday morning watching Netflix. Needless to say, he had some good sleep. I was so tired Saturday night that I went to bed about 7PM! Sunday, as usual, we scrambled to church. After, we wandered about the mall for the longest time. When it was getting toward bedtime, I went quietly off to get Cow to sleep. Soon after there were the strangest sounds.. Ben had the children tidying up! When I had Cow to bed, the work began for me.

I wanted to head to bed with a) a game plan or basic schedule and b) having read the teacher's material so that I at least had an idea what I'm supposed to be doing.

This morning, I got up late, but went for the basic schedule outline. Feed baby, see if she'll sleep more (no), get dressed (hurrah, I'm dressed!), get TJ started, help girls get started, clean something (the girls had colored their closet doors..), eat breakfast, feed baby, start school.

The piano teacher should be here shortly and I'm happy to say we've done our Latin work for today and figured out where we are in Math (he took 2 tests today) and the girls have been working on their "handwriting skills." Well, they flipped the papers over and drew on the back..
