What We've Accomplished Today....08/30/10

Okay So I said I wasn't going to do this anymore but...I have to! I can't keep a record unless I write it all down (er, type it all down). I keep a record through some other source but mostly forget and have to catch up for weeks at a time. Blah, no fun. This is much more fun. And if I thought this was something that somehow was disrespectful or a disservice to my kids, I think it was/is simply the condition of my heart and mind that need to change. I tend to focus too much on the negative aspects and not the positive :( So that's something that I will work on as well. But I have to do the WWATs or I'm just not going to keep track any longer...it just seems doomed otherwise.

Okay, so that is my 'reasoning' ;) Now, here is What We've Accomplished Today...08/30/2010

Nothing.

LOL I'm halfway, no, more like 3/4 of the way joking. We did no 'school' today but did 'learning' activities. I received a few electronic devices, ahem, in the mail today so we have been learning about those ;) We learned a lot about Word 2010~ Also, Lee wrote a lot on her book. Fox even started to put his down on 'paper'. Fox made a quick movie with LEGOs also (stop motion?). I can't wait to see the finished deal.

If I think about it we did 2 of the 3 Rs: Reading, 'Riting, and Relaxing. OH! Relaxing isn't one of the Rs, silly me.

*Note* Here comes the 'negative' seeking...but just bear with me, it has a positive, I think, near the end.

With the new electronics we (uh, I) got carried away and didn't start school on time. THAT right there is why we did no school. That is the absolute bottom line--and I wasn't on top of it this morning, or this afternoon. I love routine, crave it even...but find it so so difficult to get into one.

Tomorrow is another day (as Scarlett was fond of saying) and I will not be on the computer much *I'm saying this now so I will be accountable* and we will do our school. The kids read so much today though that if I were to count the minutes it would have been a weeks worth of reading in one day- maybe. They read a lot anyway :)
