Well, we are "two" days into our second week of school. Yes, I know it is Monday. The first day of the work/school week. Yes, I still say we have made it through our second day of our second week of school. Successfully, too, I might add. Do I have trouble counting? No, I don't. But thanks for asking....
We live life on second shift. Which means we go to bed late. Like, wee hours of the morning, late. So do the kids... Well, not TOO "wee", but midnight is late enough for a ten and almost eight year old. We all sleep in. Then we get up, have lunchsupperdinner together as a family, and ship daddy off to work. Now we have two options: Start our school day then and there, or let the kids have a social life and play with their neighbor cousins. For some reason, the kids like the social life. Can't figure it out. So, we made a deal. Our school.... night.... starts at six o'clock. On. The. Dot. Except for today when poop hit the fan and chaos seemed to reign. But that is another story for another day. :)
I told little person #1 and little person #2 that I had no problem doing school in the evenings on ONE CONDITION. No matter how silly it seemed since our school schedule is, at least for now, permanently at a 6:00 pm start time, we MUST have that day's work done BEFORE we play. It is the principle of the matter. Work before play. Good ethics. So, while today was Monday, we technically did Tuesday's work.... And let me tell you, the littles are doing GREAT. Mommy is doing great...
...And mommy is totally ready to curl up on the couch with a hot cup of coffee, a fresh chocolate chip cookie and a fluff book. My brain is done.

About Me
- Mrs. Guthrie
- United States
- I live in "rural" New York with my hubby and two kids, have ventured out into the world of homeschooling, and am doing my best to follow God's lead and to make a difference to those around me. Results from a "Which Book of the Bible are You?" quiz sum up the rest perfectly: "You are Ephesians - Chances are you've made a couple whopper mistakes in your life...cause it's usally people like you who really understand their position in Christ. You know it's not by might, not by power, and certainly not by works, but only through the blood of Christ. That's all there is standing between you and the Father...and that's all you need. People find you to be generally more grace-filled than most. You are attractive to the faith, and are usually a bit on the non-traditional side."

Its not crazy, the kiddos are just going to night school!
ahem: second shift means you can call me after the kids are in bed and before the h gets home and I'll be just waking up. and it won't cost any of us minutes. in case you forgot ;0)
*lol* I haven't forgotten... Just wasn't sure what schedule you were on if your h was on a funny schedule right now.... plus baby.... sleep is good. :)
midnight and 1 your time or early afternoon (2-4 p.m. or so) are good times.
Since D's shift rotates so often, I don't ever adjust our schedules by more than an hour or two. nights are coming right up, blech.
