J3 is anxious to start homeschooling. Unfortunately we don’t have curriculum for him yet. So his repeated requests to do school are met with a ‘not now, sweetie’ reply.
Obviously this is not sitting well with him.
Today, as he was walking away from me, I heard him mutter“You just want me to be stupid!”
Hard to discipline a bad attitude when you are laughing out loud! 😉 Guess I’d better find some worksheets online to keep him busy! Anyone have a good resource for that?
Thanks to Jumping Monkeys podcast & ZRecommends – we will be making robots!
Check out how easy they can be – Walking Robots, Drawing Robots and Jumping Robots, Oh MY!
Before I was even done showing the videos to J1 – he was taking apart a Happy Meal toy! LOL I’ll keep you posted on his progress!
I’m feeling very discouraged….no, scratch that…I feel very overwhelmed. I can’t get a a handle on my life right now and it’s too much for me!
I’m the kind of person who enjoys my lists. They help me know where I am and where I’m going. Yes, I like maps too – I remember my first Atlas. I planned many possible lives with that big book.
Some of this is after 1 month with JGirl, I crave a return to a schedule. But then Eric is still home on break – and as much as I’ll miss him and J3 once school starts again – I’m ready to return to a “normal” schedule again.
My list is overwhelming…
- Write thank you notes
- Plan lesson plans for remainder of our school year
- Follow up on various therapists who have yet to return my call
- …
And, everything is interrupted. I’ve yet to really finish anything! Darn, I hate whining…and I really hate it when it’s ME doing the whining!! I’m sorry!
