Today I woke up feeling tired and lazy. I grabbed my laptop and stayed in bed working. James and the kids got up and got breakfast and the trash to the curb and the morning household stuff and then he came back up and found me still in the bedroom so he laid down and grabbed his MAC and started playing and talking. By then the neighbor kids were already knocking on the door but our kids knew they hadn't done school yet, so up they all came. Next thing I know there's a bed full of work and kids spread everywhere. Roman is laying in the floor working and homeschool and work has taken over the bedroom! Yes we all got our work completed and in good time too. I love lazy school/work days. We can literally school anywhere!
Because of a project I'm working on for work this week I did not make it out to football practice today. And since work wasn't cooperating I set to work on planning out the next few weeks. The last few years we've used Learning Adventures, a unit study by Dorian Holt as the focal of our homeschool. This year Roman is in 7th grade and we are transitioning to more segregated subjects in preparation for high school. So for the first time everything is separate. Who knew how much easier this would make MY life! I knocked out 3 weeks for each of the girls and 8 weeks for Roman in under an hour! This is a huge improvement from the 2-4 hours a week I have been spending on planning. I think I'm gonna like this! That said, their folders are filed and ready for hand out in the morning.
