Yesterday was our first official day of school. We actually started Monday with our co-op but that was not as hard to start as yesterday was. Monday night, after co-op, I took a long bubble bath so I could do some hard thinking about the rest of our school year. I came out very relaxed and slightly motivated to get going.
As I mentioned in my last entry, I have a scheduling conflict on Tuesday mornings so we didn’t get started until after lunch. I was okay with that. In fact, I am not a morning person, so it worked great for me. My kids, who are not morning people either but also don’t like change, were not as thrilled. We started at 1:00 and finished a little after 5:00. We got almost everything done and a few new things added as well.
One thing I accomplished yesterday that I never seem to have time to do was teaching my 2 youngest their piano lessons. That always seems to get pushed to the side. I really want to make sure they get regular lessons from now on. They are both ready and willing.
Today, we’re going to start at 8:30 (10 minutes from now) and probably finish by lunch. That is, I will finish by lunch. They may have other work to do.
So, we hit the floor creeping yesterday and are revving it up to a solid run this morning.
