The last few days have been especially busy while hubby was away in France. Everything had to be done by me alone. I’d love to say that it’s the weekend, and we can slow down, but we won’t. I will teach more on Sunday to make up for what we didn’t cover during the week. This is, in addition to, all the kids activities that will occur. I know I’m not alone in this. Plenty of parents, homeschoolers and non-homeschoolers, are feeling the crunch of raising kids in this busy environment.
I was up until 1:00 a.m. this morning working on school items. Today, we had our Math Circle meeting with our tutor in my home followed by resuming my own teaching and testing of the kids. I cleaned the pool. We had a quick dinner (my leftover porkchops that they hated as did I!),  and then we set out to play some tricks on our friends. The kids dressed in dark colors and pretended to be spies. All the while, I was playing the song, “Somebody’s watching me” by Rockwell.  I love that 80’s song! Now, it’s the kids’ bedtime so I’ve got to go and read “Winnie the Pooh” with them.
