Homeschooling in California

Maybe I was seeing the future in my last post, or maybe the reason I was feeling out of sorts and like our schooling was idling was because I was starting to get sick. 

The kiddo and I both got a nasty stomach virus yesterday.  Well, she got sick, literally, about three in the morning, on the carpet next to my bed.  Poor girl.  My husband and the baby had been sick two days before, but were much better.  Thankfully, my husband decided to stay home one more day to kick the last bit of virus he was carrying.  I could barely sit up in bed for more thna a few minutes at a time.  It would have been even more miserable for me to have to chase that cute, yet trouble-making, toddler around all day.

 We made a few haf-hearted attempts to do school work.  We did our reading lesson, because we could do than while snuggled together in the bed.  We started a writing lesson, but didn’t finish.

If we were homeschooling independently, it wouldn’t be a big deal.  We’d just continue on when we felt up for it.  But because we have to report to our school about what we do each day, we’ll need to make up the work.  At least we got sick on a Friday.  We have all weekend to do the rest of what I’d planned for Friday.  We’ll probably need that long too, because while I’m much better today, I’m still only operating at about 50%.  The kiddo says she’s all better, and she’s certainly running around like a healthy child, but she’s still running a small fever, so I want her to rest some today too.

 Well, it’s back to bed for now for me.  I hope today finds you well.  Hug your kids.
