Science project for tomorrow: Figuring out how to get the sticky goo from the homeschool meeting name tag off of my shirt without damage. # Rough day with school. Older son is now spending some mom-imposed alone time. Someday that child will learn that whining does him no good. #

Done with school for today. It goes so much better when I’m organized and start earlier in the day. My organizing work this weekend paid off # I’ve also done laundry, printed off forms for our hs group orientation tonight, read all my email and rss feeds…now I shall knit! #
