I’ve had one of those days where the petty bickering of the kids bugged me more than normal, and I’ve wanted to eat everything chocolate in the house.  Like the chocolate cake sitting on the counter. I’ve wanted to eat the whole cake, not just a slice. Thankfully, I’m not expecting, although I did get my baby fix tonight as I held a 4 week old baby while sitting at a  3 hour gymnastics practice. So thankful I could give him back to his mother, though!

We covered lots of math today. It seems that when I focus more on reading and writing and the other subjects, math gets the shaft until after dinner. So, I started today with math, and then we just seemed to keep going with it in a rhythm studying more and more topics. I guess it doesn’t matter as long as I cover the material I want to. My everyday schedule resembles nothing like what you’d see in a formal school. There’s no official recess, just free time when I give it to the kids. Otherwise, they are learning about something (I hope).
France is on my bucket list, and hubby and I hope to travel there this year to continue our 20th anniversary celebration. He travels to Paris with his job, but I’ve never visited. I’m hoping to hit the major tourist traps and get comfortable with the area, so that the next trip can be with the kids. I’ve started using Rosetta Stone’s French program at home to familiarize myself with some basic sayings and vocabulary. I just love the French-their culture, their beautiful language, their rich history, their refined taste.  Looking for immersion here at some point..
