Ugh. I need a nice, stormy weather day. There’s something about curling up inside the house with a blanket and a good book while the weather rages that restores me. I think the sun fuels a sense of urgency that things Need To Be Done, only my brain is in such a fog that I [...]

More juggling…

After one week and two days of school, it’s pretty apparent that Sonlight psychology and Advanced Math aren’t going to work well together this year. Especially with the real college class coming up at the end of September. Since she needs the math for her ACT and SAT tests, we’re going to put the psychology [...]
Can you hear the lady laughing hysterically in the background?

That would be ME. Got an email yesterday announcing that our local university is going to offer two dual-enrollment classes online this semester! This is really big news – in the past dual-enrollment was only offered IN the public high schools and wasn’t available to home educators. We will save $745 for every three credit [...]
Reinventing the Wheel

I’m reinventing the wheel again with this World History planning. I conversely enjoy it one minute while I’m tearing my hair out the next and I’m starting to wonder if this is a personality flaw. Truthfully, I’ve always enjoyed doing things my own way. At the same time I love Sonlight. Or maybe I just [...]
Five weeks and counting down…
Posted in Flower Child, General, tagged maps, notebooking pages, schedule, SL Core 6, Sonlight on Thursday, 1 July 2010 | 1 Comment »
Yup. Five weeks until school starts in Southern Kentucky. Six weeks until we start school, but only five weeks to plan since we’ll have company the first week of August. This is the most time intensive part of home educating for me. Choosing courses, pulling together resources, plotting the schedule, and making sure that everything [...]
And we're off!

Flower Child and I started our summer schedule today. She’s read about mosquitoes and is drawing a Van Gogh in pastels. LOL! Yes, she’s already doing things in her own order. We’ve been listening to Handel’s Water Music for the last week, specifically the Masterpiece Theater… oops!… Allo Hornpipe selection. I got a late start [...]
Call me an unschooling drop-out!

Interestingly, Sharon Astyk blogged about unschooling this week. She does touch on some of the things that were troubling me. I still like many of the ideas about unschooling, but it just doesn’t ‘feel’ right in our home school. Maybe it’s about me and my control issues and maybe that’s not a bad thing. I [...]
Home, at last!

First day back after our two week trip to visit family in Illinois. I’m sitting at the computer pondering whether I should make coffee or go snooze for another 20 minutes or so. There is a load of laundry ready to fold, too. And school planning…. argh. Back in July, I scheduled the month of [...]
Spring Break!
Posted in General, tagged life school, schedule on Tuesday, 7 April 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I did something spontaneous yesterday. I asked the kiddos if they’d like to take a break this week. There were a few reasons. The need for a school-free week to focus my thoughts before recital week. Friends from public school on spring break. A messy house at the limit of my tolerance. Just because. All [...]
Finding the New Normal for 2009

Okay, there are a LOT of ‘new normals’ at our house. I honestly don’t know if we are the insane minority in the world of home education or if everyone else is like this and just doesn’t talk about it. Goals have been discussed. Lessons have been planned. Books have been burned set aside for [...]
I can't get him out of my mind. The 7 year old boy.

(From the Sonlight Forums, written by Amy) This little guy is on every homeschool message board I read. He is in every homeschool support group I’ve ever known. He’s almost always the oldest child in his family. As a firstborn child, he is often very smart and slightly serious of disposition. His parents, his Sunday [...]
Life Schooling

Last week was a long week. A very long week. Next week will be more of the same. It was the kind of week that happens to other people and you wonder, ‘How did they get through that?’ When it happens to you, you find that you get through it one step at a time. [...]
YES! We are already off schedule!

Two weeks in and we are already changing my written schedule to fit our lifestyle. This is why I love homeschooling!
Back to School Blues?

Not at my house! Our casual, anything goes, summer routine is giving way to the hectic, but predictable rhyme of the school year. Yes, our schedule would scare the saint out of George and the fire out of the dragon, but I love it because it is pretty much the same every week. We know [...]
