We got a lot done. We are exhausted (all except Stacia that is). Michael worked.... Josiah worked. I worked out - but I seem to be allergic to Michael, I gain 10 lbs every time he returns home from a deployment.
Jamin and I created a lesson planner that will work for him. Jared fine tuned the lesson planner he created last week. He's down to 10 credits but I think we need to eliminate a few more things. It's TOUGH because for instance he has 3 writing credits - but that's his passion! It's also the place we could cut as he already had 7 English credits at the end of his Sophomore year. LOL
The younger ones and I continued to read our Egyptian books. We talked about finally making a salt map - it has to happen ONE of these years......
We got a lot of packages today. Email was down so I couldn't email anyone to let them know...maybe tomorrow. Two more came after this....
The Turbo Three and I sneaked out after lunch to buy school supplies while Stacia napped.
Tonight was our first Bible Study of the season. We'll be studying friendship for the next 6 weeks. I think it's safe to say that "ready or not" the race is back on. ::snort::
Maybe tomorrow?

DeEtta,
If your ds doesn't mind doing all that work, is there a need to change it? I would think it would look odd to a college admissions officer to have someone with twice the usual English credits. Maybe when it comes time to apply to college, you only put 4-5 credits on the transcript? Just a thought....
The need to change it is our stress level...his and ours. We shall see. He also volunteers weekly at a local innercity ministry and works 15-20 hours a week. I have no problem with him working hard - I have a problem with him getting ulcers from stress by the time he's 17. ::snort:: He's a perfectionist - does that help to understand why I want to lower the load?
As for the credits - he's done the work and I'm certain his SAT scores will validate that English is his strong suite so it won't look totally strange. We've already lowered grades because NARHS thought it would "look strange" to college admissions - I'm not about to remove credits. LOL At least not without a whole lot of convincing.....
yep.. .ready or not. I'm working on a blog entry with that title..we'll see if I actually have time to finish it.
Sis:
You foto reminded me so just asking..... did the box we sent reach you yet. If not we will put a tracer on it.
l/p
How did the Bible Study go? I wish I lived in Texas nearby so I could attend that one :-)
Emily - it went well - we're off and running!
