Its Monday! Happy June!

Wow, I can't believe it is already June 2009! Where does the time go? I hope that the summer flies by as quickly as the school year does, but that doesn't usually seem to happen. Bringing 5 kids to work with me is trying (at best) and can get interesting. We have home-school books for the summer and Mondays are "Math Mondays" so they were already excited about this morning ! Then E sits down with her book and discovers, "Hey, this isn't so hard after all." Uh, yeah, its not like I'm trying to get them to work out college statistics or something....just a review of things they should have learned this past year to keep them from forgetting so much when August rolls around.

So the great thing that happened already this AM -- my laptop mouse has quit working. I broke it a long time ago and tried a tape fix, but now it is just done. Oh well, I guess I got my $6 out of it.

The kids have been SO cranky today (yes, already). M stood over her book telling me she couldn't write out "4 hundreds, 5 tens, 2 ones" on her number notations (that she'd already done 2 pages of) and just sat on the floor and cried like a pre-menstrual teenager....problem is, she's only 6! Not to mention the fact that she's a really good speller! and was reading two years ago when others in her class were still learning phonics......

I have not gotten enough studying done for the exam I'm taking next month! I can't believe I'm already saying "next month"! I keep trying to tell myself, "'ll have time to study as soon as the quarterly reports are done" or the kids are out of school, or the laundry's all caught up, etc. etc. Thing is: with a family of seven, the laundry is NEVER all caught up; studying is more difficult with 5 kids around (duh) and once the 1st quarter reports are done, there are second quarter reports to do.....blah blah blah, life goes on. It never stops, does it? I guess I'll just have to remember:

"I'll have time to sleep when I die!"
