A Month!

Wow!  I can't believe it's taken a month for me to make another post.  I have been very busy, though.
Let's see, I quit my job at the hotel so I could be home with my children when they need me.  I have started "working" for my husband.  Also have applied for a position at a farm that will only be a handful of hours for the day, so there will still be some income.  Shoots have increased, too, providing some income; I'm especially excited about that!

But, once again, H has fallen behind on her work.  Some days she has worked very hard to get caught back up but on other days......  We have a friend who owns several horses and does lessons, he has offered to provide lessons to her for free!  This is something she has been wanting for a couple of years now but it still doesn't seem to be enough motivation.  However, we did get her a Johnny Tremain (by: Esther Forbes) to read and do a report on and she hasn't hardly put the book down!  At least she's reading!!!

Also, since quitting my job, I have been more able to look at what needs to be done to make this homeschooling thing work...mostly a plan...and have begun to get a bit more organized about it.  Hopefully, I'll get a good plan together quickly not to mention a schedule (ewwww, I'm not a big fan of schedules.  Unfortunately, they are rather beneficial).  Once that is done, maybe next year will run more smoothly.
