Well it’s time to wake up and get ready for the day… 5:45 comes early on a Monday. Make my bed and wake up the kids, feed the baby bird with a syringe, feed the ferrets, make breakfast and send the girls off to school. Cleaning up for breakfast I spend a little time talking to my son catching up on anything he may have missed telling me about his weekend then it’s time to get to work. I turn on the computer and as I wait for it to load I get school books ready. History first, figure out what we are going to learn today… I say we because History was never a good subject for me so I’m learning right along with my son. I figure out all of the work for History and then move right along, Science, Math, Reading, Social Studies, Latin, Spanish, and Sign Language. My son starts his work and I get on the computer. I check my mail, make necessary responses, and pull up my work as a poet. My son reads to me his work as he does it asking questions when he needs help. I go over each subject with him as he completes it. It’s time for lunch and we practice home living as we call it. He helps, or makes himself depending on what we are having, with lunch then it’s time for chores. After all of the chores are done we work on Sign Language. He’s getting pretty good too. We spend about twenty minutes with that and he finishes up the rest of his school work. By 1:30 sometimes as late as 2:30 he finishes up his school work for the day, usually ending with his writing and research projects. It’s a busy day Monday mornings for me but it’s one of the best day’s of the week also. We get to learn new and exciting things and making school about learning not about homework and pressure makes it fun.
