It’s been a very long day of academics for me. We began studies just after breakfast around 10:00 and didn’t officially stop until 11:30 tonight after read-aloud time. There were a few breaks. My daughter had a 45 minute dance class, but that’s about it. And I’m not sure that I served an official lunch, just periodic snacks. It was a marathon of teaching and still I feel behind. I’ve gone back to just writing down what each child will learn for the day. They have their own schedules, but they are still of the age that their studies require me either to teach or oversee their learning. Even my oldest son still needs good discussions and editing of his work. They can do some of their studies online, but again, their academic experience at this point is still heavily dependent on me.

I’m completely open to trying out something new because I’m consumed with the material I’m trying to cover now. I’d simply throw it all out and regroup except for the fact that I believe they’re getting a solid, academically-rigorous foundation. Hoping I’m correct on this one because I barely ate lunch today and finally ate a dinner of taco salad at 11:45 tonight. That should go over well when I eventually lay down to sleep. The gym didn’t happen either-ugh. It’s a bit nutty..
My throat hurts and my ears are popping so here’s hoping all of that green tea that I drank today kicks in. Maybe I can wash my hair tomorrow..
