I am caught up on every subject with my kids except for math. By “caught up” I mean that I’ve covered what I wanted to cover for that particular module except for math. I have a schedule planned out for the year give or take a few weeks for vacation or simply taking time off. However, today math needed a bit more attention, so I spent the time working with each child on various topics. That may sound extreme, but the day seems to fly by during the day, not to mention we started really late,10:30 to be exact. We all slept in, and I cooked pancakes for breakfast. It was a cold and rainy day, so warm pancakes and fresh fruit hit the spot. Intermixed were reading and learning videos, but we really focused on math skills for the most part.

My daughter told me I was being mean at one point during my teaching, but I explained how important it is for her to know her facts and to read well. She, more than any of them, will act like she can’t do something when I know all to well that she can. No nonsense from me, sorry. I told her that doing well in her studies was her job right now just like my job was to ensure that she do well. She can thank me in 10 years (I hope). Cracking the invisible whip…
I’m hoping to clean my dirty house this weekend, but, as usual, the weekend is packed full of activities, none of which includes a complimentary nanny or chef or maid service or wardrobe stylist. I think I’ve worn my “Bar Harbor” old t-shirt every day this week without washing it. Don’t be jealous. Such is the life:) Off to gear up for tomorrow. Cheers!
