Up for Review
Today we had our first homeschool review of third grade. The county reviews do not stress me out like they do alot of my other homeschool friends. I have never had a bad experience in the thirteen years I have been doing them so I don't find them to be something to dread.
We got to the library around 9:15 with my daycare child and my son. I had decided to leave my granddaughters with their other grandmother because they can be a bit of a handful, plus lugging all my gear for school and 3 little girls didn't seem like a lot of fun.
Our review was with a new gentleman and it ended up taking 30 minutes, about 20 minutes longer than it normally does. Everything went well and he got a good review. The gentleman was kind and engaging and my son was polite.
After the library we picked up the girls and they were both crying by the time I drove the 2 minutes home. The next hour was hectic, getting 3 kids fed and the baby a bottle and all I managed to inhale was a bowl of 3 minute noodles. I finally got the older two kids down for a nap and Dakota settled watching a movie and then, of course, the little one was screaming because if she's awake, she's hungry lol.
I did get about an hour of quiet, maybe a little less, before the 2 year old granddaughter decided she didn't need her normal three hour nap and a two hour one would suffice. I am sleepy, wishing hard for a nap, but instead, I will wait for my daycare child to be picked up at three and then take my granddaughters to Walmart with me while I pick up a few things I need for our pot luck tomorrow. .....No, wait, just got a text from the mom that she won't be picking her daughter up until 3:45, not 3:00. Can't take all 3 girls and keep my sanity, so it will have to wait til after dinner. Ugh. It's cold and it's just going to get colder when the sun goes down.
