Likely the next couple of months will look something like this for me because we are in crunch mode with our academics. I want a summer break. We need a summer break. So, getting to an appropriate stopping point for all of us is paramount. I covered a variety of topics today: research paper on our state, decimals, fractions, phonics, weather, seasons, testing, metals, civil war, adjectives, 4-paragraph composition, poetry, creative writing, literature, vocabulary, cursive, spelling, art history, desaturation, and journaling. The kids also had their piano lessons in-house.

I wake up running, and I don’t stop until the early hours of the following morning. At this point, I’m thrilled to put on clean clothes including underwear because the laundry has once again multiplied. The afternoon was spent taxi driving and getting a work-out in. Love my gym classes-great release from the stress of juggling so much. Our outing also included snacks from McDonald’s and a library run. More academics were after dinner. I know I’ve got to revise how I manage our schedule next year because it’s feeling too pressured.

Off to retire soon. My oldest just watched a little of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” as a reward for reading the series. I sat with him as we ate Oreos, and I went over some Jr FLL items. Marathon…..Hoping to get a date in with my husband this weekend.
