Rolling With the Punches

Oh. my. goodness. You saw the schedule I posted the other day? Well, today JD has woken up at 6 AM, and now it’s 8, and he’s ready for a nap, and Caleb is still asleep.

Let’s just say things didn’t go as planned today. I will have to roll with the punches and find a way to make this work. Lovely.

Okay. Now it’s 8:49 AM. JD is sleeping. Caleb is now downstairs. Daniel looks like a neglected orphan again. If I get nothing else done before school starts today, I have got to clean up Daniel. Yesterday he wore his pajamas all day long….

On the upside, Daniel said “I kidding, Mom.” this morning instead of “Me kidding.” Progress!!

So here we go…. This should be an interesting day.  😉

  • Ha! Love the pajamas all day. My kids would be jealous. :) I can totally relate! Unfortunately days like that happen more often than not around here. Hope it started looking up as the day progressed!

  • This made me laugh! I loved your schedule but you gotta love the un-schedules too. It's all life and learning whether or not the clock says so.

    • Well, I know you know what I mean. This isn't your first year of home schooling, right? So tell me, do you feel less uptight as you become more experienced?
