Day 24

They just don't think she's going to do well. No one expects her to succeed against Biden. I can't help it...I'm going to watch.

Today I had CC#1 do math early and then we went to playgroup. It was good for the kids but for some reason my stress level was through the roof today. When we got home, although NOTHING bad had happened with the kids other than normal stuff, I had to go into the office and shut the door and even cried a little.

I was really surprised because I have been trying to be SO relaxed, about school and everything. By relaxed, I mean, not get frustrated and demanding.

CC#1 did spelling, handwriting, a writing assignment and read stories. CC#2 and I read a lot together. She's reading words on flashcards and I'm having her "read" little readers now. She loves it and it actually seemed to fire CC#2 up to read more, as if that was needed.

Then we went to ballet and the library, home for dinner, after which CC#1 and I did history and played a game about our subject, The Egyptians. I bought the game from MindWare (favorite favorite) some time ago and that is a great game.

CC#1 was actually almost too distracted to play the game. When it wasn't her turn she was running to the couch to read from her selected library books (about Easter).
