The Homeschool Mother's Journal - 6

HSMJgraphic

In my life this week...

We had a slow week this week.  It’s amazing how much your life changes when you don’t have access to a 2nd vehicle. When I did have to get out (for music lessons, etc.) I was at the mercy of my parents. 

We’ve all been feeling very stir-crazy.  I think it’s cabin fever and/or the winter blues.  Are they the same thing?

As much as I tried to fight off this flu that’s been making it’s rounds at our house the past 2 weeks, I ended up with it yesterday.  Ugh!  I hate the flu.  

In our homeschool this week...

Not much to report.  It was a “bare minimum” type week.  I’ve been sharing how I love our approach to history this week.  We watched several movies that related to the 1930’s – one was Gone With the Wind.  We still have a lot of fun stuff to do relating to that time period this coming week.

Places we're going and people we're seeing...

We finally got out of the house today.  I had won 2 free tickets to the PA Garden Expo – we had planned to go on Friday, but then Ashley had to babysit, so we put it off, planning to go Saturday (yesterday).  Then, I ended up with the flu.  So, we went today.  It turned out to be a really nice day – with temps reaching the mid-50’s – so I’m glad we waited.  

My favorite thing this week was...

Getting out of the house as a family today.  We also went to look at at potential new vehicle (which Brian and I might go back to test drive tomorrow), and to BJ’s.

What's working/not working for us...

Gracie is loving Greek ‘N Stuff.  I don’t even have to work with her and she’s learning Greek!  I love Greek!

Homeschool questions/thoughts I have...

I can’t really think of any, at the moment.

A photo, video, link, or quote to share...
