I normally start school the first Monday in August, so we're a bit late this year. The girls visit to their dad for 2 weeks, and we took last week off so they could get back into a routine, with bedtime and chores, and to unwind from summer.
So we start today. I have all the books and materials. I've done all my major chores and the house is clean, top to bottom, so for at least THIS week I won't have to concentrate on anything but school.
But....the teacher (me) has had a stressful week, and even more stressful weekend, and the last thing I feel like doing is school. I'm not at all ready. I haven't been feeling well, and yesterday was the anniversary of my Dad's death. It's been 22 years, but I never forget getting the phone call, frantically trying to convince my mom he was really sick and we needed to GO, hearing the news... every minute of that day I relive over and over on the 28th of August. : ( My oldest daughter, April is also having some issues, and calling me constantly. And I've barely seen or spoken to my husband for over a week now. So....I'm not at ALL in teacher mode.
I'll let everyone know how it goes when I can. We're not doing much today, just going over books, and if all goes as planned, a few hours at the park for the girls. I also have a gift bag for each of them.
