A day in the life of .......

Just thought I'd let anyone that cared what a day in the life of a homeschool mom is like. Was woken up at 6:00 by children who feel the need to rise early in order to race outside ti feed the chickens. Before school I folded a load of laundry, put in another, unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, fed the dogs, talked to my daughter, made my bed, taken a shower, and gotten dressed. School started at 10:00. Just so you know, school starts whenever it starts, not the same time every day. Sometimes we have appointments to work around. I love, love, love, the curriculum we're using this year.It's called The Prairie Primer and is based on the Little House books. I read a chapter in one of the books every day. Then our science, spelling,history, etc. comes out of it. Math and Cursive Writing are seperate.So far we have learned about owls, eagles, bears, light prisms, and today we learned about guns and gun safety. Baileigh was a little bored, but I was very pleased that Steven, who wants to be a hunter as well as a fisherman, knew all about gun safety already because of videos he has watched. After school we ran our neighbor to one Griggsville to the bank and put gas in my car. Then we ran to 'Dosh, got rid of our recyclables, went to Dollar General, Flynn 's and the library. Then home to put everything away. I am now taking a rest but soon must wash the kitchen floor and get supper. Then up to church to watch the twins mow. I do that so it doesn't turn into a lawnmower demolition derby. :)

Once again ....

Thought I did this last night but then couldn't fb it and when I looked for it later it was gone. I haven't written for a long time. No real reason. Justly didn't take the time. Things are going fine. Still have issues here and there but that's just the way life is. There issues will always be there. Just learning, all of us, how to manage them. We have started school. I have turned our dining room into a classroom. We begin each school day saying our pledges, American, Christian, and Bible. The kids are really good about doing schoolwork for me. For this I am thankful. This year we are using the Prairie Primer. It has daily lessons based on each chapter of the Little House books. I ordered seperate math and handwriting. So far we have had two days of school. I hope to do three or four days a week.
