Late Monday afternoon I got a phone call asking if I could babysit 2 kiddies from church (their names are the names of the 2 main characters from Star Wars--no kidding. And at one time they had a black great dane named Vader. Seriously.) Anyways. They weren't going to be "delivered" to my house until 10:15, so I thought C would still be able to finish school for the day. Usually the first week of school is MUCH shorter than normal. But just in case, he did 2 subjects Monday afternoon and then finished his day Tuesday before they got here.
I am also babysitting on Thursday--4 extras for a total of 6 kids! Call me crazy! But remember, I have been praying for some money. God's just making me work for it (I tried to win the lottery; but no luck. JK!) And I have a possibility of a semi-steady babysitting "gig" starting end of August. Hopefully that will come to pass. It will be nice to have that "steady" income again. Especially right before Disney World.
So C will actually only have 3 days of school this week. But that's the benefits of homeschooling, right? Since his first day was split and since it was much shorter, I don't think it seemed like real school. At least to me anyways. I'm sure he thinks different.
K girl is wanting to start school this year too. But in her mind, school is watching it on TV. So I think I am going to have her watch C's Bible class and then she and I will do some papers, crafts, etc. It's hard to believe that she will be doing K4 next year!
So that is how our first week of school will be defined. At least I do NOT have a beginning of the year surprise like Momma! Love to her! And BIG CONGRATS! No, mother-in-law---not interested!
