I should have known...

After homeschooling for a few years now, I know when we do best & what times during the year we struggle. We do better in the warmer months than we do in these colder ones. I don't know whether it is the holiday's or what, but we are distracted much more. I started an extra week early, which was helpful. I think I also put in an extra week in February too. My point is, we're going light week this week. My brain is swirling with so many things that are going on all over the place & I need to just take time to do the important things.

There are a few things hindering us in the school department too. I need to put the firefighter bible on our mp3 so that it is easier to get to. We are also (surprise, surprise!) behind on some of those projects. Problem with this is that we tend to get only half of the supplies so they hang over me. Oh well...I'm sure that we will get to them. Superman has been working on the side to help with some of them, but I get anxious & want to stay on schedule...so, we'll wait. ;o)

In the meantime, we're doing light work: Phonics, Math, Bible, Prayer & Misc. Study

By the way, April & June are all scheduled as "light days." So, it doesn't put us behind in SOW, it just confuses my plan a little bit. Next year I will expect to have more light days in Jan / Feb.

For some reason there is just a lot going on & I'm just trying to take in that this is the year 2010 now!! Also, it's tax return time. We tend to buy new school supplies so I'm thinking & planning that out. It happens every year, I just get into shock I think & something in me gets all confused about what I'm doing. I need time to get my mind in order and yet, life keeps moving. So, I'll just have to get back to you after a bit when my head stops spinning...
