How anti-climactic can it get when - after months of preparation and planning - the first day of officially-structured "school" is a sick day? And, in our case, more like a sick week.
After our long trip to Florida this past week over the Thanksgiving Break, I returned with a wonderful complete schedule for the next few weeks for the girls' homeschool. Olivia returned with a cold.
And, owing to her loving nature, she has shared that cold with the rest of us.
So we have spent the last few days in the "sick bed" - which is really the girls on the couch-bed in the front room, resting, watching shows and drinking fluids, and me cleaning up after our trip.
(On a side note - how is it that, regardless of the spotless state of one's house before a long trip, during which NO ONE is in the house, the place looks a tornado ran through it after you get home?)
Anyhow, the girls are getting a little better, as evidenced by their rampage through the house this morning, and I'm in bed with a nasty headache.
Oh, well.
Today, I will finish the last bit of tidying (I trust), and preparing the house for winter. Exciting, I know, but these little things make a big difference.
Look again next week to see how our schooling is going. Today, I think that if I can finish the tidying early, we'll do a little sewing - it's time for warm pajamas and slippers!
Maybe something like this?
Yum!
