So today I finished day 2 of our home educating adventure. It was brutally hot again outside so we opted to do outdoor recess in the AM and indoor recess in the PM. Adella had a major case of feet dragging today and didn't finish school until after 4pm. Boo hiss for the teacher. She didn't seem phased in the least bit that her brother ended about 2 hours earlier than her. We have noticed that due to traditional schools using more and more online studies, Adella struggles in areas of math. She just does SO much better actually writing out problems and doing a lot of repetition. We are playing catch-up now but at least I get to see EXACTLY what she needs extra help with.
Since it was so hot out, I decided to call it a $3 loss and not go to the T-Bones game tonight with the kids. However, I had to do a quick on your feet thinking for dinner since we had planned to eat sandwiches and granola bars. I hate using our granola bars for eating at home so I saved making them for Friday when we will hopefully be making another attempt at being out of the house for dinner. Instead, I made eggs in toast because it is simple and delish. To fancy it up a little bit, I stuck a slice of ham on top as well as a tomato slice. On the boys' dishes, I put a few slices of cheese as well. Then served it with some canned fruit and called it good. Filled everyone up and there were a lot of smiles. I am calling it a success.
This evening I have made 2 loaves of wheat bread and currently have cinnamon rolls baking in the oven for breakfast. They should be hot when my husband eats breakfast and then I can re-heat them for the kids or they can just grab one after caring for their pets.
Oh, the other stuff I did today? Drank 112oz of water, cared for an infant, washed 23 diapers, started black beans soaking and started a package of ham, a package of cut up chicken, and a gallon of milk thawing. So, welcome to the world of a stay at home mom who is a full time mom, full time wife, full time teacher and needs a FEW more hours in the day to make life just a tad easier!
