Sixth Week Slump

This is right about the time homeschoolers start to feel the slump.  Studies become routine. Routine becomes boring. The excitement of the new pencils and new books wears off.  I have the slump.  I think I got through Day 3 of Week 6 before I needed to take a break.  The straw that broke this camel's back wasn't even homeschool related: a coyote killed one of our geese. I don't even like the geese, but I know my husband does.  I took Thursday off teaching to preserve some harvest and spent Friday, Saturday, and Sunday switching bedrooms around...and now we should be on Week 7, but....


....I've been way to busy with kids activities to catch up.  I lost the TV remote. My schoolroom is a mess of unfinished projects. The baby won't give me a break.  Six weeks was all it took.

BookShark Science 7: First Project, a Dancing Robot!
But never fear! The books haven't gone anywhere, the schedule is there for when I can dig myself out, and we will pick ourselves up where we left off... Besides, the local school district is having half-days for parent/teacher conferences, so this may be a good time for me to evaluate how we are doing!
