Rachel's curriculum from Timberdoodle came today; she can start on the Language Arts section as early as Monday. She has grammar, spelling, editing, and vocabulary-- four texts that will make up her Language Arts. We may start her History together as well, Mystery of History Vol. 2 for both girls. The girls will continue in LIFEPACs for Science for the rest of the schoolyear and then begin with the new curriculum in the 2012-2013 year. I'm thinking textbooks for everything will be the way to go for us from here on out.
I am behind schedule today due to oversleeping and having a headache, but we can still make it a good day.
Thanks to God for giving me a new beginning every day.

CHANGES NEEDED
I wanted to post something while at the library, seeing as I have been wanting to blog and our computer will be down for a few days this week. I have been working on a schedule for myself, and then will make foreach of the girls. Hopefully, this will help us to actually get done most of the things we need to do each day. I'm not the kind of person who can keep a list in her head; I have to have something written on paper to guide me and keep myself disciplined.
I have already ordered curriculum for Rachel for next year, and will probably let her start on it before this schoolyear ends. She is already finished with this year's Language Arts. And the history in her next year's curricululm will be for both of the girls, and I am not happy with the way Meghan's history is going, so we may get started on that before the year is over as well. We decided to stick with Saxon for math; I like the incrementation, and both the girls voted to keep it. Maybe they arejust tired of me switching curriculum on them so often. : )
Okay, time to humble myself and admit that I have been trying too much to do this on my own; I have not been using the prayer to ask God for guidance in scheduling and what to teach the girls. I didn't do it with Matthew either. Stupid.
So, will be doing a lot of prayer and evaluating what we are doing and maybe stop doing it, add to it, subtract from it, or doing something new all together. Gotta take a deep breath and remember why I wanted to start homeschooling in the first place.
