Oh, I am a terrible homeschool mom...

Not really, but we didn't get started today! First, work is just so hectic through the 15th. Secondly, we're not meeting with the "teacher" until tomorrow, and I want to get things figured out with her before moving too far forward on my own. So, we are postphoning our first day until at least Thursday, if not Monday of next week. Oh well, this kind of flexibility is one of the reasons we wanted to homeschool in the first place! If we had put C.O. in school this year, he'd be on his third week already, gone about 6 hours a day with transportation time, with homework still to be done each evening...
 
Next Monday will be C.O.'s first class though! Art, music, and a little story time. He wants me to pack a lunch so that he can have lunch and playtime with the other kids. I'm glad he's looking forward to it. M said he might go with him (parents are welcome) since he (C.O.) has never been to a class or anything like it where someone he knows isn't there, and we think it might ease any nervouseness if one of us is there.
