Even though I've dropped bunches of outside activities from our schedule, it still doesn't seem like we got much done this week. We did finish all our bookwork on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday but it just doesn't feel like enough. Should a 2nd grader be able to finish all his assignments in an hour? Should a 5th grader be able to finish in a couple hours (or less)? I won't mention the 7th grader who drags everything out.
Tuesday was spent at co-op. Now that the semester has started, things have really quieted down on the administration side. Where I used to be running around the evening before co-op pulling my lesson plan together, now I just shuffle teachers to cover absences and put together a list of announcements. I should have volunteered to run this thing years ago! LOL Although actually, it can get kind of boring with no class to teach. This week I helped in the nursery and cured any baby fever that may have been starting.
Thursday was a full day trip to the dentist. Okay, it didn't actually take the whole day but we didn't do much when we got home. It's so hard to get into school mode when we've been out running around.
I vow to do something more interesting this coming week. Our calendar is clear, with the exception of evening sports practices, so we should be able to add something blog worthy!
Hopefully there'll be some more interesting Weekly Wrap-Ups over at Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers.
Hmm, according to my spellcheck, "there'll" and "unsocialized" are not words. I knew I'd made up my own contraction, but I never suspected Kris of being a word-maker-upper (I made that one up too).

I'm not a word-maker-upper. Webster just hasn't gotten around to adding my fabulous word to the dictionary yet. ;-) And, I don't know what's wrong with "there'll" either...or "bein's," but you may be too far north to know that one. lol
I'm starting to suspect that maybe there's just something in the air this week, since I am finding that I'm not alone in feeling "unaccomplished" this week.
Maybe next week we'll all feel a bit more productive.
Kris is right there is definitely something in the air and it must have travelled a long way to find me in Cyprus lol.
We have struggled to get going this week and I gave up from Wednesday onwards. Its good to know that I am not alone in having a bad week.
Hopefully next week will be better for all of us.
Have a great weekend

Awww! I'm sorry to hear that so many had bad weeks. Our was pretty good and I felt like the struggle was mine. You know- guilt because somehow even if I'm busy all day, it's just not enough. I keep telling myself that Daniel learned more with me at home than he would have in school...and he was a whole lot happier!!!
I love trips to the dentist! NOT!!!! Your child has my deepest sympathies. LOL!
Thanks for swinging by and leaving me a comment!
Hope you have a great week!
