Today was one of those days that I wish I could have started over and tried again. It seemed the the forces of not doing mom school were after me today! Our morning routine was total messed with for a number of reason and this afternoon we had various things going on. One thing was accomplished though: my suburban is out of the shop as of 5pm, thanks to my dad. So now I can actually drive somewhere and I don't have to schedule rides...sigh...

To Show Parent Core/Love of Learner/Scholar here are some things we modeled to the children today...
Deanna: Scriptures, journal, went to a book club, help at Cub Scouts, laundry, packed, read A Tale of Two Cities for an hour in the evening, and overall resisted loosing my mind since my day was NOT in my control. (My dad was even teasing me about it when he drove me the 20 miles to get my vehicle).
Alex: Scriptures, read a chapter in the book Leadership 101 by Maxwell, scheduled a trip in March, went to work conference in Pocatello, listened to old recordings from the national radio archives.

You guys are getting more done than I am! I just can't get myself into the swing of things...you know? I would settle for a gently sway....
