I had almost forgotten how sweet unscheduled days are. Wow, did I need that! We slept in... or at least tried to sleep in. The boys played all day... when they weren't trying to bug Grandpop. Elena-puppy slept in a cozy nook... as usual. I read a few books... more quickly than usual.
I also started a new diet. I thought it would be best to get through those first cranky days without forcing the children to deal with a cranky teacher. I'm not sure how everyone else thought I behaved, but I certainly didn't *feel* cranky. So I'm thankful that the diet kick-off went well.
Now that we've had a much-needed break, I've been able to reflect a little on our plans for the rest of the school year. I'd really like to give the boys a summer break this year. (Last year, our summer was taken up by preparing the house for sale & catching up on school work that didn't get finished because of the house stuff.) I'm still hoping to do light school work, but I'd like for them to finish this year's math & phonics before Memorial Day.
So now I'm off to figure out how to squeeze all of those lessons into 8 weeks...
