We've done 4 days of school now and I've decided . . . it's time for a break!
Instead, let's call it "easing into school." Since we've only been back in country 2 weeks, and I have discovered (not a new discovery, just finally trying to address the issue) that I am not good at pacing myself, or knowing when I am being drained, we are taking it slowly.
This is in part because I learned this summer that I am anemic. This makes sense and explains why I have been tired and not able to run. In an effort to regain health I'm taking lots of iron and B vitamins, and trying to do less than normal.
Last night I slept 10 hours because I fell asleep at 8. This morning I feel good, but looking ahead at the next few days I know that I probably need this morning to do some catch up on life.
The best part of this is that when I announce this change of plans to the kids, I will be declared the Best Mom in the World! Pretty sure that's not what child social services would say but I'm 6,000 miles away from them so what are they going to do about it? :)

That's the beauty of homeschool! I do this frequently actually, and that's why i like to say we homeschool all yr round, so that when this happens in the middle of November I dont feel quite so bad :-). Enjoy your day of catching up, and isn't awesome when you Totally Rock as the mom!?
