Monday…Monday

Well, it’s Monday…again! It always comes around, ready or not. Generally, I am not a Monday’s-got-me-down type of person. Monday often feels a bit like Tuesday –rarely like a Friday though -so it’s not really a big deal.

Today is our first day back to school after moving from Wyoming to Ohio. It’s early (before 7 am- GASP) for me and the kids are still snoozing in the hotel bed behind me. I’ll wake them up in about 30 minutes Ahh, the joys of being on Eastern Standard Time (or is it Eastern Daylight Time now?? both? does it matter??).

It seems that my plan for six weeks on, one week off has been thwarted time and time again by unplanned trips, planned trips and finally by moving. It has turned out to be four weeks on, one week off. And it’s been quite nice! I may (not quite sure yet) change our calendar to reflect that for the rest of the school year. Or I may leave that for next year.

Yesterday we visited the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and it was…. COOL! Cost quite a bit ($42- including parking- and that was with $1 off coupon ) and we could only stay for 2.5 hours. That isn’t including the 40 or so minute drive to get there (and as long to get back). There were a lot of neat exhibits and fun things to do. The kids and I made leaf rubbings at the Discovery Center (which we ‘discovered’ five minutes before it closed –bummer). I do have a few photos but they are not uploaded yet.

It was interesting to hear the kids’ comments about the Big Bang theory, evolution and other topics that were presented at the museum. GASP! I’m so lame, just realized- that was a field trip! Oh, yeah, that is definitely going down as a school day! Being Sunday we also visited a local church- more ‘school’

So, today, Monday the 19th, will be back to school. Yay! Am I the only one that is glad about that? LOL possibly. But I like having the routine. I feel lazy and ‘out of it’ when we don’t have school. It is my job after all and the kids need routine (even if they don’t know it).

By the end of the day I hope to update our what we accomplished school days #39-41 Yes, that includes yesterday  

Good Monday Morning to you all! May God bless your day
