Considering how extraordinarily busy I was last week away from home, I'm so pleased to look at my book and see just how much schoolwork was completed despite it! (I keep a notebook and each week I am writing down just what she is doing, along with the amount of time spent on each, since time needs to be counted for high school credit.)
I knew how busy the week was going to be so I put extra assignments on her sheet in the assignment folder. She did a great job getting them completed!
Tuesday the gals and I met for sewing club again at church. Here's another picture as Jasmine gets to work on assignments while I work on quilts.
We are still reading the books we checked out from the library on England. Three books to complete, and we are reading in all 3 of them at once. We met with her youth group last Wednesday to learn more about the trip. I wish I had taken better notes on the places they know they are going to visit. I'm hoping this week she will bring home a print out of the slide show presentation. This will be a trip of a lifetime for her!
I've taken her to the doctor about her knee. It's been hurting her for months now and I've let things get in the way of getting her to the dr. We are waiting on test results now, so please keep her in your prayers. I'm praying it's not anything serious.
What I am really thinking is-----I want days to stay home!!! My quilt guild and the sewing club at church are usually only once a month. I so enjoy going, but when it becomes weekly, the enjoyment goes somewhat away as I get stressed about other things that aren't getting done.
My day just goes so much smoother when we can get up at home, get started on school work, get the schooling done, and then move on.
I'm looking forward to summer at this point already---are you? In hopes of getting myself into a better routine---oh gosh, after almost 14 years of homeschooling why haven't I settled on a set routine?? Oh yeah, it's homeschool, it's not a requirement! :)
Jasmine and I had another good week of learning this past week. She completed all assignments I had ready for her for the week.
We read a lot more about England. This week we meet to learn a lot more about the trip. OMG! I am so nervous about her passport. Yesterday in the mail came a letter from the passport place stating that what was sent in was a copy of the divorce papers and they need the originals. The trip is March 20. I am mailing off the papers today with prayer (and a note inside, even though the outside of the return envelope they sent has a space to put in the departure date of her trip)
The gals and I are meeting at sewing club at church more often right now because we have a lot of quilts piling up to be finished. Here is a picture of Jasmine and her schoolwork while we are working:
We are meeting again today for the day, so next week's photo will be similar.
I'm going to look up a Bible study I had started with the girls a few years back and get it back out. It will be something that Jasmine, my husband, and I can work on on Wednesday's together. That is my husbands day off for one thing, and another is that he is really wanting to do Bible study.
Off and running I go!
