Our kids are loving the "real" school experience--thankfully! Zach has been his usual happy self the past couple of days, abounding with laughter and energy. Jenna, too, is enjoying being with "the girls." Unfortunately, she *hates* homework, and is spending hours on it each night without completing it. This week she gets grace for unfinished homework, but next week it begins to affect her grade.... I'm honestly not sure she's up to the task. She's really going to have to have a change of attitude if she's going to succeed. Time will tell.
In the meantime, I am loving having the house to myself! (Although it was noon before Joel left for the office today.) :-( I have been working diligently to get the house in order, transforming the "schoolroom" into the family den. I've just about got things under control, though I still have several boxes of stuff to sort through.
The coolest news of the day? The dreaded treadmill is no longer a fixture in our living room! Hooray! It is now nestled inconspicuously in the new "den." This just keeps getting better!
Hooray for OCA!
