and we just. keep. adding. more.

today we were overachievers.

i totally didn't mean for us to be, but we skipped football practice this afternoon because mommy feels like she's going to throw up everywhere and didn't really feel like spreading that kind of love around.

so we started on worksheets.  we all sat at the kitchen table, which hasn't happened in a little while because there's always been something on the table (side note: you should know that we very rarely eat at the table.  all of that is about to change.  but for the past couple of weeks, it's become a catch-all for anything and everything that doesn't have another place, and hasn't been available to us for schoolwork), but mommy got fierce this afternoon and cleared everything and my point is they were all sitting there like little darlings, EXCITED to do worksheets.

yeah.

so i forgot it wasn't wednesday decided to carpe diem and start a new math lesson.  which then led to doing a science worksheet that was meant for tomorrow.  that part was an accident, but oh well.  that's what happens when you skip football  get your days mixed up  decide to be an overachiever.

all the worksheets were done WITHOUT tears, even xander's.  he's started tracing all the letters by himself; in fact, it's become his favorite part of the worksheets.  i'm stinkin' proud of that kid.

anyway, i got back to the computer to do grades, and beau came up behind me and was all like, "what are we learning today, mom?" all excited and junk.  i was like, "we aren't doing anything new today on the computer."  and he was like, "aww, not even a science experiment?"

so i logged into lessonpathways and looked around a bit.  and i got stuck on the language arts section.  i like it.  i maybe want to do it.  i know i'm nuts.  we're already doing enough.  but i think the kids would enjoy it.  as long as we have time.  i may do the crafts and things as sort of a reward system: if you do your history and science without whining, we can do the lessonpathways language arts lesson.  something like that.

math is no longer a problem.  i flipping LOVE math-u-see.  it's fun and the kids like doing it.  so far.

anyway, just wanted to write this down before i fell into an exhausted stupor in front of the television set  forgot it.
