Blank, because the house is clean and I’m trying to think through homeschooling

Sorry for the dearth in posting. I’ve been trying to keep the house clean due to tons of company last week and this week, which, sadly, kills the creativity. Tonight I just need to go to sleep and get rid of a low lying headache-lying there ready to rise up and strike me down.

Also, I’ve been reading lots and lots about curriculum and managing school with toddlers in tow, and ‘circle time‘ and all that. Actually, in the midst of all this research, I very much welcome any and all experience any and all of you have who have any wish to share.

I’m intending to ‘go classical’. Last night I actually just dreamt the word TRIVIUM. That’s how much I’ve been reading.

Honestly, I’m wildly excited. As I think about it, that’s partly why I haven’t been blogging, because that’s all I’ve been thinking about. Matt gets a set look about his jaw when I ask if he has a minute, knowing that I intend to describe in detail what I plan to do with the cupboards in the living room, and exactly what kind of bookshelf I want to buy, and why I think formal math instruction should be delayed. And if his eyes ever so lovingly glaze over, I can’t imagine what will happen to all of you (well, I can imagine, you’ll go read some other blog, and that would be terrible.)

So, I will leave this for tonight, and go dream about this bookshelf. Goodnight.
