September Randomness

1. I'm currently reading "Not A Fan" by Kyle Idleman.
2. Mark & I are trying to settle into a good routine for doing his schooling...but various appointments keep getting in the way.  (We are getting all his work done around those anyway.)
3. This week I'm taking care of myself...a physical (first one in years) and a dental appointment.  Fun, fun...
4. Week 2 of the Homeschool Co-Op was this week.  The kids seem to be settling into their classes nicely.
5. And that's all for this installment!  Have a wonderful day!

Settling Into September

• Now that Labor Day is over, we can start settling into our school schedule/routine.  
• Mark and I are trying to settle into our homeschool routine as well.  While I've homeschooled for two years, my highschoolers are pretty much self-driven.   So working with an elementary student with extra needs is a bit different for me.
• We're also working within the realm of appointments.  In fact, one of the things about homeschooling this child is that it makes attending appointments so much easier!
• We have some regular weekly appointments this fall...Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Psychotherapy, in addition to the sporadic orthodontic, dental, and other appointments.
• My two of my homeschooled kids attend a Homeschool Co-Op one day a week as well for 2 classes each.  During the one hour, I am the teacher's assistant in "Drawing I".  I'm enjoying the class.  It reminds me of my 9th grade art class.
• And, I'm resuming my biweekly "Coffee & Play" meetings starting tomorrow!  I'm excited to once again regularly meet with my supportive group of friends.  :-)
• I'm working hard at being more scheduled in order to get the house work, business work, and school work complete.  I admit to being great at making a schedule...and terrible at implementing it, following through with it.  So far, though, it is helping me manage my time.  The only thing I have been consistently crossing out to do other things is "treadmill"...yeah, I need to work at doing that too!
• So I celebrated a birthday last week.  Sunday night I had invited Randy's brother & sister-in-law & daughters over for supper...Randy invited my family to drop by as well.  It was lovely to celebrate with all of them!
• I continue to read whenever I can steal a few minutes...both for pleasure and for knowledge.
• Food/Dietary challenges are such a thorn in my flesh...still trying to figure out what's best for my one son...
