I was struck down with the flu last Saturday and I am still not feeling completely well. I'm finding it very frustrating! But I was not able to rest at home as I would have liked. I had two doctor appointments that I had to take my kids to this week. Both of them involved lots of driving and waiting in waiting rooms. Why is waiting so exhausting? Oh, and then we baled hay on Wednesday. That is always a busy, exciting, stressful day...but we got all the hay in just before it rained! Success!
In our homeschool this week...
Homeschooling? Do I homeschool? While school didn't really happen much this week because of sickness, doctors' appointment, hay baling and such...we are not done for the year yet. All of our online classes have ended and I find that along with providing my kids with a good education, they also add structure to our days. With that structure gone, I need to add in my own structure.
We still have math to finish. (Doesn't every homeschool have math left at the end of the year?) We also have lots of History to get through. I think it will be nice to spend some concentrated time on these subjects.

Places we're going and people we're seeing...
Doctors and doctors. My favorite thing this week was...
Having a little extra time to read some of my favorite Homeschool blogs. Here are some of my favorites:Afterthoughts by Brandy

Homeschool questions/thoughts I have..
I've been thinking that I need to do more thinking about homeschooling. I've been running on auto-pilot lately. And even though it is the end of the school year, I want to finish well instead of fizzle out. (Which sadly happens most years.) I need some inspiration.
A photo, video, link, or quote to share...
Well, I shared this in a previous post but I think I'll share it again. Cathy was a guest poster on the Circe Institute blog. She wrote a great article on ordering your day and coming up with a flexible schedule. Here is the link: Starting Places: On the Rightly Ordered Schedule

Fizzling out here a bit, too. We'll need to keep working on Math and LA through the summer. Part of me would love an "end of school" celebration and not think of school again until fall - but this does offer some structure to our day that I appreciate! Have a good summer!
Ooooh...I'd love to hear more about your beef cattle. My husband and I are contemplating more farming (you never know where God will lead...) and want to know how other families do it!
