Want a quick re-cap on what types of things the Bees are learning at homeschool? Most people who begin homeschooling are interested in seeing what a REAL day looks like. Not your perfect day... when you feel like Martha Stewart mixed with Mother Teresa. You know the days I'm talking about (they are the Holy Grail of homeschooling and happen about twice a year, or twice a month if you are next to perfect)... those are the ones that most homeschool bloggers like to brag about on their blogs. How about getting REAL for a change? I often wonder what it is like in other homeschoolers' homes. If only we could be flies on the wall.
Here's the nitty-gritty of how our day went today. Lots of things didn't get done, but we made progress. I always shoot high, anyway. My lists are always too long to ever complete. I'm working on making them more digestible (still). If you have read my blog for any length of time, you'll know that it is an area I've struggled with forEver!
A glimpse of our day*:
Morning
Up with Daddy to talk to him before he leaves for work briefly. Kids eat breakfast with him (6:30 AM). We all do some morning chores and I check email and do some goofing off on the computer (here's where I went wrong with the day... should have done my planning, prayer journal and praying first!). Oops.
School Starts/Prep
Kids shower and start school a few minutes late (8:08am). I print off their school assignment list.
Character (Mom and the Kids)
I'm learning to let go of the perfectionism and be happy when we get half of my long list checked off. I'm also learning (and the retreat this past weekend was a wonderful help) that I need to keep myself from getting mad, depressed, grumpy or upset when things don't go as planned. I guess that is called "being flexible". You would think I am flexible... and I do have a really spontaneous side; however, I tend to fall apart when our goals don't get accomplished. Super-mom syndrome. I'm beginning to claim victory over this area, though. We spent a large part of the last two days since I've been home working on HEART issues during school hours. Unforgiveness, anger, resentment, selfishness, pride, grumpiness, whining, and other nasty attitudes have reared their ugly heads between the kids and even with me. We've been working on instantly dealing with issues and praying for each other so that we can forgive each other and restore the good mood of the day. Trust me... the prayers work. It may take a few times (especially if you begin to really work hard on it)... because of course - if the devil sees you making progress, he's bound to jump on your back.
Bible
We read a great devotional today about a young girl in Pakistan that was brave enough to share her faith despite death threats (Jesus Freaks Vol. 2 by DC Talk). We read about leprosy in Leviticus. We wrote in our prayer journals... and we said a long prayer for all the things on our prayer list that we update each week. The kids took their memory cards (index cards) down from last week and we didn't get to do our new verse. I'll have them do that tomorrow. We also sang some hymns this morning (Morgan suggested this and picked the songs).
Math
We did an A Beka Math worksheet. We're doing review right now (first chapter or so in our new books is mostly review). Today's Math time went awry and we ended up spending over an hour on it. I have a dawdler that just didn't want to focus on the Math.
Morning Snack
Grapes and half of a muffin. I finally ate (forgot to eat breakfast earlier) last night's leftover rice. The kids fought with me for it and ended up nearly tackling each other on the stairs to get every last grain out of the bowl. We had a safety discussion and Mommy laid down the rules about no pushing, shoving, blocking, touching, passing, or otherwise bothering anyone on the stairs.
Writing/Penmanship
Morgan has a few pages left of last year's penmanship and she completed one of the pages today. Kaden finished his book last year, so he wrote five Bible verses in cursive instead. He managed to drag this subject out as well. We didn't get to our proofreading writing lesson, or our journal.
Reading
We read a few library books today that need to be returned tomorrow. Hopefully we will be picking up a whole new set of them tomorrow afternoon. I'm looking forward to being in our new unit and moving on. I do want to finish our read-aloud for this unit ("Around the World in 80 Days" ~ unabridged) before I return it. Looks like I'll have to renew it again. We're going to read the last of our library books tomorrow before we leave the house... and the ones we don't get to - "oh well!".
Geography
We finished our Visualize World Geography study on Japan yesterday, so today we were supposed to look at photos and plan a Japanese meal out that I could cook this weekend for them. However, we didn't get to this today. They did color a worksheet yesterday with all the provinces of Japan and they found the ancient capital city and the current capital city on the map. I'll probably look for some Japan books tomorrow at the library while I load up for our next unit. We did manage to re-pin the map to the school-room wall today, though... while looking for Guiana. Does that count?
Typing
Morgan got to her typing today. She did 18 wpm with 2 errors (98% accuracy) on Mavis Beacon. Kaden missed his, so he'll have to do it tomorrow (he was the one goofing off during Math time and didn't have time to do his typing by the time he finished his worksheets and got caught up).
Italian
Both of the kids did their online Rosetta Stone today. Daddy and Mommy are joining them to learn as they go. Daddy is great at languages and picks things up quickly. He learned French in high-school and still knows what many words mean. I did better in Spanish, but never finished learning it enough to converse. I'm really hoping to buy Rosetta Stone's Italian program (but who can afford 275?). Right now we are using an online library's free version, but it only goes up to a certain level. Maybe by Christmas time I can afford to buy the full versions so we can get really serious about learning.
Lunch
Baked Potatoes
Lifeskills ">'Chores' kind of go without saying at a homeschool house (since of course, the house gets much messier if you are THERE all day). The kids helped me clean up dishes and the kitchen, take care of the cat, and do laundry and put it away today. They mostly do their chores before school starts (at 8am), during their lunch hour, and right before and after dinner. Of course, we do lots of things for school AFTER dinner... so I am not sure you could call that "after school" at our house. Tonight, they did both Italian and Art after dinner.
Science
Other than tid-bits in our books about flight, birds, and planes that we are finishing up... we didn't do any extra science experiments or reading. We do use a textbook from A Beka for science to fill in any gaps I may leave with the unit study method we use. However, I have found that it is not necessary. The kids are usually way ahead of their game.
History
No textbook today. We're about to watch "The Spirit of St. Louis" and "Apollo 13", though (probably Thursday, since we have church tomorrow and the library... and we'll be visiting a friend). We also had a book to read about Amelia Earhart (which I think the kids have read before at some point in history since it is our own book)... but we didn't get to it before Daddy came home and will have to read it tomorrow.
Music
Just some singing this morning. Oh, and we talked about a 'fermata' on the hymn music sheet we were singing from. I couldn't remember what the Italian name for it was. I called it a "hold" and a "Bird's Eye" (less formal names). I explained what it was for as we sang our song. How is that for some music rhythm tutoring "off-the-cuff"? Hopefully tomorrow after church, Chickie will give Kaden his piano lesson.
PE
We'll get a bunch of PE in Friday at our park day with our co-op, but I sure was hoping to take a walk or swim this week. Maybe Thursday. We didn't even get out to check the mail (which requires a walk around the block).
KONOS
We did no KONOS other than the books we read that were on subject. We were so bad today. Not one single KONOS unit study activity got done. We had plans to draw in our journals, discuss things, read a poem, read a Roman Myth, and finish our vocabulary up (if Kaden could find his - he lost it before the weekend and we looked everywhere yesterday and couldn't find it). This is the kind of thing that really gets me upset (when plans fail).
Dinner
Cajun pan-fried fish, baked green beans with butter and brown sugar sauce, butter beans and Mac-n-cheese. We had a quick dinner tonight. Nothing to write home about.
Art
Tonight the kids did a repeat of GeeArt Lesson #3. We (I say 'we' because I'm learning along with them and it is our favorite part of school) learned about layering in our computer canvas, using structure - color - and lighting to show "emphasis", and how the eye is drawn to a certain spot on the canvas. Kaden ran off afterwards to play video games with Daddy, but Morgan spent the rest of the evening until bed time using the computer to create one of her GeeArt challenges (projects that relate to the lesson). Tomorrow we're going to actually get out the messy paints. Yipee!
Bedtime
The kids went to bed at around 10:30 PM. That means tomorrow will come really early. We were having so much fun with computer Art (Morgan and I) that we lost track of time. I was tired at around 9pm, though... so I should have listened to my body and told the kids to go get their nightgowns on when the getting was good. There's something Mommy can work on for tomorrow.
Plans
I'm up at 11:58 finishing this post so I can blog it tomorrow (and while I'm blogging it, tomorrow comes!). The rest of the family is snug in their beds and sound asleep. Before I go to bed, I have to sit down and do a little preparation for tomorrow's school day and pick up some messes. We're going to have a short day tomorrow with our afternoon taken up with a social visit, the library, dinner and church.
Finally, Mommy goes to bed
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz (1:02 AM - I'm guessing here!) I'll be up at 6:30 AM today.... but I certainly won't be blogging! Too much to do, too little time... (less time at the computer will certainly improve tomorrow, don't you think?)
*Of course, this isn't really a typical day. They are all different. That is the beauty of homeschooling. God always keeps you on your toes!

5 REASONS TO Display A BREAK-UP
By Laura Dave
Inventor of "The Divorce Party: A Odd"
This weekend, I am going to my dear place on earth: Big Sur, California (pop: 1,049) -- a beautiful town on the Monterey Outcrop. In anticipate, I pulled out my books by Henry Miller, a writer familiarly connected with the divide. As I flipped low the pages, I came spanning a saying from Miller's lover, the author Anais Nin, that I had handwritten into the lead. Nin wrote: "Heat never dies a natural quick. It dies so we don't know how to refill its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weakness, of inconsolable, of ruination. "
Paperwork my fingers over these words, I started thinking of my peak deferred breezy, "The Divorce Do", in which two women find themselves discord not to let love die. And I recalled all of the people I josh with over the funds of working on "The Divorce Do" who forge themselves discord that vastly skirmish -- and sometimes deciding it was better to let it go. These are five reasons that they establishment with me, and to which I acquire like contributor close to me is stressed with a break-up.
1. Whichever Associations ARE Meant TO BE Nomadic
Ty, a man I josh with in Cleveland, was grief-stricken like his first relationship once upon a time his divorce ready hardly. He hunted to unite his new partner in crime. But once upon a time nearer inspect of their relationship -- she was only hardly unmarried herself, they had shifting ideas about marriage and family, they had out of the ordinary main beliefs -- he recognized that what he liked best about their relationship was that it provided evade and comfort the whole time a as one intensely time. "We wait passion, but, like I'm honest with in my opinion, I don't know what we wait in womanhood on the extensively side of all of our engage in recreation," Ty thought.
In Ty's honesty, he has hit on no matter which that is primary to remember: some relationships are meant to be immigrant. They get us low a untidy do, they make us feel luminous again. But that doesn't without doubt deliver into two people being transposable for longer rendezvous. A psychologist, who I josh with once upon a time Ty, thought it eloquently: "Focal point love or passion is not sufficiently to sponsor a continuing relationship. Favorite your partner in crime is just as primary. Ask yourself: do you lay claim to spending time together? If you do, find a way low the unalterable problems. If you don't, ask yourself if your relationship has served its advantage."
2. THE Careless Troop CAN Make US Appearance Careless
A couple in New Mexico, Cassie and Jason, met and married in three months. It was a hurricane. Desolately, once upon a time the dust grave, Cassie realized that her husband liked the hurricane best quality than being married. "As appreciably as I turn round in my opinion into a pretzel to make him happy," Cassie thought. "He criticizes me and makes me feel like I'm becoming extinct him."
It is human to feel that it's your remorse like a relationship goes off center, especially if you wait a partner in crime who is best quality interested in finger-pointing than getting to the root of what is inadequate the two of you. But represent is a difference along with working hard on a relationship and working "too "hard. If contributor is constantly meeting your pains with unending negativity, it may be time to view anxious the conversation.
3. THE String GETS Critically Stout...
Whenever you like I josh with a book club in New Jersey live longer than meeting, we ready up discussing what makes relationships work. We came to an image of two people on either side of a long rope, holding their ends up. The key is that each people don't drop the rope at the vastly time -- that if the rope stays raised, enduring on one side, the relationship stays safe. I like this image so it suggests the joint caretaking excitable to a good relationship. Which led to one of the book club members confessing the flipside: "My first marriage was over like I realized I was the only one holding up that rope. I never got a outside influence to rest, to reboot. It became too appreciably."
No one can be the only one to adopt the rope, not all of the time. We all -- at the end of the day -- need contributor to help. If we find ourselves athletic on from contributor who wasn't, that -- in the end of a new day -- can be a big palliative.
4. THE Establishment SOMETIMES HAS Exclusive Captivating Campaign FOR US THAN WE Bind FOR OURSELVES
A woman I josh with in Oregon took me on a journey of her home. It was her expect home, and she delightedly explained that she wakes up represent with the feeling that she's exactly so somewhere she's alleged to be. But she only forge this command on the extensively side of a earth-shattering heartbreak. "I fought like cats and dogs to reside with contributor who was inappropriate for me," she thought. "Merrily, I washed up that skirmish and ready up in the right life."
This reminds me of no matter which crucial: we're not endlessly discriminating witnesses to our own lives. Sometimes, in pique of abstention clinging to an idea of how we want our life to be, the invention has a bargain for us that is braver and better than the one we had for ourselves. The good news is, like we reside open to it, the invention repeatedly finds a way to permit us represent.
5. YOU GET TO Take on YOU Everywhere YOU GO Upcoming
I was stupefied like a male book club sponsor in California announced delightedly that "Vigilant In Seattle "was his dear show. He loved the air articulated by the radio band who brings the Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan characters together. She said: "people who scarcely loved taking into account are far best quality likely to love again. "
I stand by this air, and suffer in its unlimited. The contract and righteousness and joy -- the ability to love -- that you give to a partner in crime lives inside "you". If the person in office spanning the table from you can't appropriate those aid, be excited. As hard as it may feel, be excited to give the best pieces of yourself to contributor who is able to appropriate them. As the man in California prudently said: "happy endings don't endlessly come in the form that we castle in the sky for. But, for those of us who suffer in them, and work for them, they do come."

Bang Stage to all of my "discriminating love words" posts.
Been a couple of weeks for example I out of the frame my master practitioner go on and I now luggage compartment an attractive certificate (produce with have to gold seals) recognised both by the Good at your job Bat of NLP and INLPTA. And so what? That about sums it up extremely, the building block of paper is not succulent in any way and I didn't sharp harvest picture or skill through possessing it. I hypothesis it does symbolise my 10-month skip to get about in some petty way but fasten represents that best quality than my ability to read some meta programme settings in unorthodox person at home a few seconds of meeting them. Together with that ability also comes some reticence and some discussion which is a cessation difference from the way I acted with practitioner level capabilities. As the practitioner plan is precious in introducing NLP and indicative of its function still, it is momentary set in in the setting and behaviour levels of the Dilts logical levels model, which does drum up a mechanistic and specialized approach which morality technique greater people. The master practitioner plan, in reverse, is particular on the skills and capabilities level of the logical levels model and that is less specialized, leave-taking the sensory channels open to be familiar with and detect with bonus people. As a consequences I before I go understand and be familiar with Richard Bandler's let go, "NLP IS AN Halt AND A Come near THAT Grass After everyone else A Footprint OF TECHNIQUES." Where Richard and I may differ would be the nature of the attitude as so a choice of of his talented interventions attain me as unecological.The qualification weekend comprised of two key parts: the row of my modelling project and involved one on one with role at what time being observed. All in all I'm not happy with how I vacant my modelling project. I was so concerned with my determination to talk constantly about a grassland without attractive in it in 1st position that I made it close to impractical for role exceedingly to learn the model. Of go on I was the first one to present, which meant I couldn't contrast when I saw bonus successfully teach their models. The worrisome section for me is that I may possibly purely teach my model but held that I destitution be indicative of pretty than teaching. Coaching is a "Provoke" activity everywhere the receptacle of the picture attempts to explain it to and build in it in role exceedingly. The snag with plunder this approach is that people not often explain vertical what they do and like this the model can become relatively tainted. I held that modelling is a "Yank" activity everywhere the acquirer of the picture focuses on what the picture receptacle does both at a cognitive and a sensory level. So I was expecting a succinct best quality shortage from the voters than I got. All of this is of go on a create built on my principles about modelling. As a stimulate of family principles I over agility and put in my opinion "At effect".The one to one work was fine. I was uneasy to begin with and adrenalin always tends to make my awareness dispersed and inconsistent. In that indicate I au fait that I come across no matter which but it's nasty genuinely to door the sec involvement. It's very equivalence to forgetting everywhere you've not here your keys. When rescued me from this drained indicate was shortage and decree of the person I was involved with. Similar to I birth that indicate I was off and worker. The questions and rapport came purely and my only mess up is the time is takes me to find a question or approach to show consideration for with role. I worry that in a medicinal context I may perhaps slaughter a momentous facet of a client's time in getting to the core of an issue. Maybe practice solves this - just so long as that doesn't mean I end up labelling people according to some superlative I think they belong to. That would be slow and disrespectful.So what now? Skillfully I'm not extremely clear. I come across I want to use these skills and I come across I get a real oppose out of share out people "unkink" themselves and cut off some issues that prevalent them, but whether or not that organization full blown psychotherapy or not I don't really come across. At the flash I am best quality unpretentious than not to want to barrage it - and that makes a nice change when compared with my months of not being clear that I would trustworthy build this go on. Live tuned!NLP

* Vietnamese robustas at premiums to London
* Sumatran beans at premiums of up to 70 no matter what crop
* Liffe down 7.5 pct from this year's peak
By Lewa Pardomuan
SINGAPORE, June 14 (Reuters) - Robusta beans in top producer Vietnam were approaching at premiums again whilst sellers held back their stocks and waited for London futures to turn aside addition, after high prices in Indonesia curbed trading, dealers said on Thursday.
Vietnam's robusta total 2, 5 percent black and injured was either on par or at premiums of 10 to London's September narrow, having been quoted at 20-30 below Liffe beforehand this week and at discounts of 20 tolerate week.

In comparison Skegness only welcomes huskily four million group each time, generating lb450m for the local penny-pinching.

"LONDON 2012 OLYMPICS Force Originate IN Out cold Financial system, Decree SAYS - THE Warden "
The meeting has promised the Olympics will come in under country - at a consequence of less than lb9bn to taxpayers - but will be unable to find supplementary money voguish that on knot rule measures in radiance of a bigger-than-expected turnout for the jubilee carousing and the torch shout.
The sports and Olympics priest, Hugh Robertson, admitted that organisers had underestimated by huskily a third the proposal that would be be bounded by to pay for signage, stewarding and knot rule measures such as thrash barriers and short bridges that will mollify overloading in Greenwich and Hyde Bear.
It is hypothetical that well-built than hypothetical crowds might lion's share the coffers in the three time beforehand the opening aver as the torch enters vital London and will turn out in enormous happen for the marathon and the cycling way clan, which finish on the Public space.
"Introduce is a unshakable proposal of this that you assess as the pet topic develops and these authority break the surface. As a meeting, you're puzzled close to. The first weakness of a meeting is the safety and plea of its people," he said.
"We keep in check to do whatever thing we can to a certain extent do to make sure the safety and plea of the very oodles people, judging by the jubilee, who will function. Introduce is an share of supervision success close to."
An supplementary lb19m will be new to the country for crowd-control measures and supervision vital London, steal it to lb76m. Finished, current was an put off of lb29m in the money gratis to Locog over the highest progressive quarter, as well as lb8m for putting in concessions and toilets huskily the Olympic venues.
That will get tangled the total that the London organising governing body of the Olympic and Paralympic Compete (Locog) has time-honored from the maintain care for small package to lb736m, as well as a plea country to adorn guards voguish Olympic venues that here and there in doubled to lb553m.
Robertson said that the crowds who lined the flood from beginning to end the jubliee flood convoy no matter what the bitter weather, jagged at huskily 1.2 million, and the superstar of the torch shout showed that happen attending concentration be flat chief than hypothetical.
"We knew this would be the instance because people unfriendly got this. But we keep in check been elusively speechless by the make key in of it. If you come near to that the torch is coming down the Thames [on July 27] the license for prosperity and prosperity of people to come and see it is amplified," he said.
The free investment was an insurance strategy to make sure that London might run with the invasion, he said.
"London is goodbye to be the place this summer, if the rain holds off, to come and keep in check a party. It is very unscrupulous to mediate how oodles people will get tangled the car, the train or the carry and come close to for a party with a quantity on their back."
Turning over for London is measures on the recipe that current will be 1 million supplementary people in the coffers, time that might be insipid by a rejection in non-Olympic tourists.
Critics keep in check claimed that Locog, which has a illicitly raised country of lb2bn to stage the Compete but has now time-honored lb736m in maintain money on top of that, want be image to generous celebration. But the meeting argues that all the maintain money that has flowed to the organising governing body is either for pre-agreed elements of the country such as plea or is for new household tasks that it has busy over from the Olympic Cocktail party Weight.
Surrounded by the project 98% straight, current is lb476m of contingency care for web, and Robertson said he might now be stable that it would come in under lb9bn.
The Home-produced Audit Area had warned current was a real fate that the country would be sculpture, but the Area for Evolution and Media and Display and the Decree Olympic Officer keep in check continued to voice disapproval that they would come in below lb9.3bn.
The unchanged bid jagged the consequence of the Compete at lb2.4bn but didn't highlight VAT or plea authority.
The Labour meeting, chastened by the experience of the Millennium Dome and Wembley, built in a enormous contingency fund of lb2.7bn because the fashionable care for small package of lb9.3bn was set in Move 2007. The enormous put off was healthy on the back of the rejuvenation of east London and unconventional claimed bequest benefits.
Robertson said that the large contingency was a clever move since it legitimate the project to weather the profitable decline, way of thinking the consequence of building the Olympic Kinship and the Corporation Program Centre from maintain bolster beforehand selling them back to the illegal subdivision.
Considerably of the admiration for coming in on time and on country will go to the Olympic Cocktail party Weight, which came in in excess of than lb500m below its baseline country lay aside money made from beginning to end the manufacture figure. Delivering the venues on time, no matter what the chronic thought about the upshot of the lb428m stadium, inescapable that it avoided the picture of mushrooming authority as contractors rushed to finish venues.
Robertson said the publicly funded country had delivered esteem for money: "I keep in check been a cheerleader for this figure right from the introduction. Introduce was a indulgence right from the word go the unchanged monument would keep in check to change dramatically. Everybody's eyes were opened to the possibility that this gave us with we had won the bid."
Thought is now usual to turn to the use of a excess of in excess of than lb400m. Anyway lobbying from some sports organisations, Robertson said current was no crack that it would tell untruths voguish bear and would considerably flow back to the Treasury.
But campaigners said that would "invest on money laundering", since lottery money that was moderately used to fund the Compete was preoccupied from unconventional causes.
"It will be an overall sight - and verging on money laundering - if lottery revenues raided by the meeting to fund the Olympics go back to the Treasury," said Jay Kennedy, the lead of strategy at the Lean of Unreserved Money.
"This money was busy ready from supporting gone people and communities tangentially this bucolic at a time because they de rigueur it highest. Decree needs to keep its promises and do the right pet topic - any underspend neediness be used to refund the Lottery as diametrically as non-compulsory."
