Purging

I have to purge ...  I went to the store this weekend and bought some things that didn't qualify as NEEDS!  I was alone (which doesn't usually happen at the store) and had too much time on my hands to wander aimlessly.  I got scotch tape, skinny magic markers and a 2nd grade handwriting tablet.  Oh, I was so WEAK!!  Well, I'm going to get back on the wagon and try again.  Onto a more positive note....homeschooling started today.  We did pretty well.  The plumber was here to put in a new hot water heater so we had a little disruption, but overall things went GREAT!  M1 helped me cook breakfast and supper, spent 4 1/2 hours on schoolwork (with some short breaks in there), and then played with her little sister, did a sewing project, and explored nature for the rest of the day.  The morning went so quickly.  I guess it's true that "time flies when you're having fun"!  Oh, I sure hope I can teach her something this year.
