that feeling, you can only say what it is in french.

hallelujah, the end is in sight.

we are almost through week two of the summer "semester." 

i wasn't sure we'd make it through the first day. 

because it hasn't been easy.  we've had so much STUFF go down this week it's a miracle we got anything done at all.  so.  how have we done it, you ask? 

by avoiding worksheets like the plague, for one.  condensing the HECK out of lessons, for another.  doing lots of videos and even counting watching "despicable me" as part of our study on the seven wonders of the ancient world (you know, because they stole the pyramid at giza in the very beginning).

i'm also having considerable deja vu because we did the seven wonders last year with beau.  and now we're doing it again, but this time with xander.  the really fun bit is when he remembers pieces of it here and there out of the blue.

deja vu again with bella, since i did part of the kindergarten curriculum i'm using with beau when he was a kindergartener.  didn't use this curriculum for xander, so at least it isn't the third time through, although i know we'll be going through the seven wonders AGAIN next year with bella, so i need to go ahead and prepare myself.

at least i should know all of this stuff pretty well by the time i'm through, right?

did i once say i wanted more kids?

could i handle going through all of this a fourth time?

(oh, and if anyone gets the reference in the title, i'll bake you a cake.  i'm serious.)

  1. Deja Vu.

    I didn't really know it. But I know how to Google. And I cared enough to Google.

    So that deserves at least a cupcake.
