This morning I slept in a little bit. I got up a little after 8. My daughter’s sewing teacher came over. While she was doing sewing I was talking to someone from the school district about home school resources and activities. I got some good information. Homeschooling is feeling more real. I’ve homeschooled for a semester before, but this will be our first full year. Most of my materials have arrived. I am really just deciding when to start. July or August. I’m not sure. But we definitely want to do year round school so we can take breaks and go on trips without sticking to the public school schedule. I also don’t want her to lose ground from not learning all summer. She has a math tutor twice a week for the summer anyways, so why not do all the subjects and take a fall break in October?
After that we had company. I hosted a mom and her daughter. My daughter and hers hit it off. Tomorrow they are going to the pool and going bowling. I really liked the mom. Moms need friends too. I don’t have any friends in this town. I’ve only been here slightly more than a month, but that is kind of a long time to not have a single friend to grab lunch with or hangout with at the house. I think I have a new friend to chill with now.
Then I did some housework. After that I spent time with A. I’m so proud of her. She’s such a good little person.
Today just went to prove how important it is to keep your house clean at all times. When I woke up this morning, I didn’t know I would be having company. I found out 15 minutes beforehand that she was coming over. But I didn’t have to run around stressing out because company was coming. The house was ready. It helped that my husband did the dishes. But I had stuff put away, the kitchen wiped down and disinfected, the floor mopped etc already. My house was company at a moment’s notice. Of course, all of us end up in a situation where we don’t have our homes ready for company. That happens to everybody once in a while, and I’m not judgmental about it. But it does feel really good to have a whole house done and ready so that I have nothing to apologize for when company comes. I’m thankful. It’s important to me to have a home I would never be embarrassed by, or worse that would embarrass my husband in front of his coworkers. I want my home to be clean.
Time to get back to work!
