Well, I am tired this evening. Mondays are busier days than others for me. On Mondays, we homeschool beginning at 9 a.m. Today, I tried to complete a full lesson for both children - that's a 3rd grade, and a kindergarten lesson. Then lunch. Then we left the house for our weekly violin lesson for both children. Although I love this, it is a tiring event for me because I need to carefully observe the lessons and take detailed notes. Lessons this summer have been lasting for 90 minutes (we signed up for an hour) because our teacher doesn't have a student arrive during the 30 minutes that follow our official lesson, so she just keeps teaching until the next student shows up. So, that amounts to about 40 minutes working with our daughter, and then 50 minutes working with our son. She did give an extraordinary amount of homework to our son this week. Lots of exercises and etudes. Lots of vibrato practice.

Then, we headed directly to our daughter's swimming class. This does entail sitting out in the 90 plus degree heat while we watch everybody in the cool pool. Thankfully it wasn't that humid today. Then, drive home, fix dinner, and eat when daddy gets home (around 6:15 today). After which we went for a walk, then did some grass seeding and weed trimming, then came inside and did violin practice, got the kids in to bed, and now sit down for the first time today.

This might not seem like a lot, but it is a busy day for me. I am too tired to analyze life today. Maybe tomorrow...
