My Daybook - January 13, 2014

Outside my window... 48 degrees.  Slightly windy. Occasionally sunny.  No rain.

I am thinking... about homeschooling.  Most especially for Boyson.  We are in the middle of 9th grade.  It's been hard.  Really hard.  I lack confidence.  I am weary.  We ditched some plans that weren't working and that makes me feel like I am all over the place without a good plan. The irony is that I think some of the problem lies in trying to conform to what everyone else (translated: curriculum providers) says we should be doing.   I am finding it way harder to "go it alone" for high school because I am very nervous about it being enough.  Sigh.

I am thankful... for several orders in my Etsy shop over the weekend.  The extra bit of income helps, and it motivates me to keep on working towards my goals.

I am hoping... that my order of boxes shows up today so that I can ship said orders.

In the kitchen... tonight: Slow Cooker Hawaiian Beef over rice.  Tomorrow:  Beef Stew.

I am wearing... black work out pants and my US Navy t-shirt.

I am creating... baby booties.

I am wondering... about the future of this blog.  I know it's been awhile since I have been doing much posting.  I feel challenged to have something to write on any given day.  And I feel nervous sometimes about putting it all out there for everyone to see.

I am reading... college textbooks.  Oh, and I think we are going to do this as a family read-aloud:

I am looking forward to... seeing my new little granddaughter today!

I am learning . . . Records Management.  Hey everyone, there is waaaaay more to filing than you could ever imagine.  I think I am going to like this class a lot!

Around the house... Just the usual.  Cook. Clean. Re-do.

I am pondering... school plans for next year.  Yes, I know it's only January, but I am a planner.

One of my favorite things...

  

A few plans for the rest of the week:

• St. Vincent de Paul
• Math class for Boyson
• Business Communication Class for me
• Toastmasters for Boyson
• Latin Class for Boyson
• Piano for Lil Guhl
• Yes, it's a busy one.
