Smatterings

I’m in that impossible position of trying to write several things at once, with the end result that none of them are being written, including this blog.

I managed to figure out how to watch the State of the Union last night online but it was So Late (9pm) that I had a very hard time staying awake to hear it all. I’ve also spent long hours trying to figure out if I can watch bits of the Olympics online. I really love not having a tv except at these exceptional moments.

So, I’m going to go muscle the children in to do some work. That part of our life is going surprisingly well. At great personal difficulty I’ve added Saturday as a day we do school, and I’m fairly happy with the results–we’re not so stressed trying to cram everything in to four days, we have the time we need. But that means actually getting up to do school every day.

Also, we’ve decided to make a major household change and move ALL the children’s clothes into the laundry room. We’ll move their dressers and everything and then it will hopefully be a matter of washing clothes and putting them right away and everybody going to one place to get clothes. I believe I saw this on an episode of the Duggars (I know, I know, its just so fascinating)and frankly, it makes loads of sense.

Have a lovely day.
