What We Accomplished… Days # 44-50

I decided not to put the dates in the title because it’s confusing. We have taken a Friday and a Wednesday (or was it a Tuesday not a Friday??) off since my last updated post on school work. It’s easier to just say “Day #”. We are on Day #50 today (which according to my schedule, puts us two days behind…)- only 130 days to go!

I finally got my notification into the school district. I stressed over it. A lot. There seemed to be so much more required than in Wyoming. It is actually a little annoying. But it is how it is. I go with the flow…most of the time.

On to what’s been done:

Lee especially doesn’t like it but we have been getting going early in the mornings and are done with school by 2 pm, at the latest. Today we did take a break from the last two things they had to do for school and visited the park. That made us finish, officially, at about 3:45 pm today. That’s alright with me still. It feels very good to get up early, go to bed somewhat early and have time to do things during the day. And to feel accomplished. That is a great feeling.

I finally have internet at home but I must be careful that it does not suck me in again. I will use it as much as I need to but hopefully not much more than that. It’s more fun to be in real life than online

And on that note: I have boxes to break down, dinner to start and some laundry to wash. Have a great night!
