Workboxes Day 4

Dh is out of town today, and over the weekend I have realized what a major slacker I have been with our homeschool stuff. Being sick got a LOT of things behind. That's okay. I have been doing my best to catch up! That's why I am up at this horrible hour of the day. Today was a teacher workday. With dh gone we ate leftovers and sandwiches, and I worked and worked and worked. The girls watched TV, well our version of TV at least.

This is what I did today / this past weekend. I installed Homeschool Tracker Plus. I highly recommend it! I took a bunch of the stuff I have been doing on paper and put it in the computer. I have terrible handwriting, haha yeh I know a homeschool mom who can't write. Plus I don't like rewriting everything from day to day. I finally went through some of my curriculm that we have only been partially using. We use Scaredy Cat, and there are a bunch of games and activities that go with it. I am pretty good at getting the basics done, just not the fun stuff. So all of that is pulled out, and at least partially organized.

Speaking of organization!!! Well, I did a lot of that. I stocked up on manilla folders at Sam's a couple of weeks ago. Good thing I did too. Oh, last Saturday I went to Staple's and loaded up on clearance workbooks and teacher stuff. I prefer printables, but the workbooks were cheaper than paper and toner. Not to mention I am getting worried about my printer.

Let's see, I laminated a bunch of stuff. Especially stuff I want to use for 4 or more children. I figured out curriculum and accessories that I need to buy. My head hurts thinking about spending all that money.

Oh most important I read and prepped our unit study we are starting on Gardening. I am a week or two behind getting in the summer garden, but hey I've been busy. So tomorrow we pull weeds with the lettuce, plant flower seeds in "Sophie's" garden, and decide what veggies we want to plant.

Whew. Just thinking about it makes me exhausted! Wait. It's midnight no wonder I'm exhausted.

So far so good. I NEED this workboxes to keep me organized and on track. The main problem is how to work with *3* that have "Work with Mom" stickers on almost all of their boxes?
