Tora! Tora! Tora!
Our family watched the movie, “Tora! Tora! Tora!” tonight in honor of the 71st anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I try to do things like watching a memorable movie or reading a good book when we encounter historical dates, figures, or events.
Well, I’m off to try to rest again. I’m still not being a very good patient.
Moms aren’t allowed to be sick
I have not felt well for a few days now-sinus stuff that’s never pleasant. You know it’s not good when the Netti pot water does not come out the other nostril! Last night I went to bed around 10:00 which is early for me. Tonight, I’m not much better, but I’m not a good patient, either. I don’t care to pause to get extra rest. I’d much rather keep going, so hubby gets a bit frustrated with me. Being a physician myself likely doesn’t help either. I did manage to get in some decent academic time with the kids, though. No sick days for homeschooling Moms!
The Tortoise and the Hare
Excelsior, the Classical/Charlotte-Mason cooperative we are a member of, attended a play of Aesop’s Fables performed at the local community college. The kids really enjoyed watching the performers, one of which was the talented daughter of a homeschooling girlfriend. The rest of our day was spent enjoying some holiday munchies and rotating classes of science, music history, and language arts. My oldest son delivered his oral presentation of Thomas Edison to his peers. I had one of those surreal moments as I watched him speak thinking how he’s growing up so fast. It’s those moments that encourage you to continue with this homeschooling business.
