First Day's Craziness

We had:

• computer issues (couldn't find them)
• power issues (couldn't find those either)
• more computer issues (certain ones wouldn't connect to the internet sites we needed properly)
• lesson plan issues (mom hadn't gotten Christopher's put together yet)
• resources problems (4 kids all decided that they needed mom's attention at once, I foresee a lot more of that in the future *sigh*)
• and all sorts of other minor glitches

All in all, a typical first day. We still don't have some of the boys' materials from CAVA and I still haven't gotten over to a friend's house to pick up the grammar book she's going to loan us. I still need to put together the MOTH schedule to see if we can actually follow it (ask Mr. Chaos if that will happen) and the Home Ec and Teen Sociology for those with SCD lesson plans so we can actually document what we are doing with those.

But there is hope because:

• Jonathan got everything done but his science today including 1 math, 2 phonics, and 1 art (including the project)
• Matthew did get 2 history lessons (except for that pesky discuss with mom thing) and 1 science lesson completed and worked on a few other things
• Christopher did do his first lesson in LOTR and 2 lessons in math plus some work on his Teen Soc class
• We got to park day for 2hrs so the kids could run around and even met some playmates for Nico
• We went to Game Night and had a nice time playing new games and meeting with some of the new homeschoolers in the area
• Matthew made it to soccer practice and we finally know what team he is on
• Nico fell asleep in the car on the way home from game night so mommy can collapse

One day down, 179 more to go...
