Monday I find we’re usually a bit slow to start but we jump into the new week well. By Friday I am feeling worn down and ready to collapse.

I have down that for now we’re just doing language (C’s grammar) and math for academics on Friday but also PE/motor lab (which is soccer in spring/fall) and Spirit Horse and reading. For some reason it’s feeling like a lot. There are often other projects we’ve not completed on the designated day or just never got to that week – C’s piano lesson, Mo’s letter writing. It makes Fridays feel packed if I’m trying to cram it all in…

I think we’re going to change things (again, still, always) and make Fridays our project/make up day. If we didn’t do some subject then we’ll do it Friday. We won’t worry about that grammar or math lesson (unless we didn’t do them on other days) and we’ll just call this our make up day.

That will also include things around the house. Some Most weeks the house is a big mess by the end of the week. Laundry piles, behind on dishes, kids’ rooms trashed. If we start our Fridays by doing some cleaning and picking up then I feel better about entering the weekend.

So, no new lessons on Fridays but projects, make up, and home stuff. I feel better already! 🙂
