Wow! We’ve had such cold weather over the last few days where we live. It’s the kind of cold that makes you want to stay inside and eat an entire pot of warm soup and chocolate cake and stay in your sweat pants. Of course, if we are eating my cooking, we may end up ordering pizza!
Anyway, the weekend had our usual activities along with under-the-weather kids. Still, unless there’s some emergency or my kids are throwing up, we keep right on going with learning. They can still read while resting or I can read to them. I guess that’s an advantage of homeschooling versus sending your kids outside of the home. You don’t really have sick days so academics aren’t affected when you need to slow down at bit.
Finished academics with my daughter tonight (9:00). As long as she’s doing well with it, we keep going. Sometimes we have to do late nights because there’s just only so much time that I can give to each kid one-on-one. Extending our teaching time into the evening sometimes has to occur.
Well, now it’s 11:00, and I just printed out Paul Lockhart’s “A Mathematician’s Lament”. This will be my midnight reading before retiring. But, hubby and I have to watch our recorded “Fringe” episode. This is one show I actually watch off of TV. Other than that, I couldn’t really tell you what shows are on.
I need a shower. My hair is so dirty it is sticking to my scalp!
