With all of the stuff that we had planned to do this year, I soon discovered that it was a bit much. While being overly ambitious to begin with, I also found that my basement is taking up a lot of my extra energy. Reality hit, and I had to find ways of cutting back for my own sanity. So, here's what we've done:
*We now have history once a week, instead of twice, with science on occasion.
*The girls no longer have logic.
*Sierra's piano is no longer mandatory (though she likes doing it, sometimes that and guitar in one morning is just too much).
*Latin has been re-set to the beginning so that the girls are reviewing what they've learned last year instead of doing things new.
*We're skipping Blake's interactive preschool work for now, though he still gets to do his workbook.
*I've given up biking for the time being and mostly do walking with occasional swimming for exercise.
So far, it has made a huge difference. Hopefully, when I've got the basement done, we can add stuff back in, like Blake's preschool work, history twice a week, and regular science. We'll have to wait and see.
