trying to change

ok I'm a slob I admit it... (and those of you that know me know it is true) but believe it or not it isn't because I am lazy... but a perfectionist... I want it all done at once... and don't know where to start, and once I do get started I get discouraged when I look arround and see what all I have left to do :( so from now on I am setting myself small goals to accomplish in a set amount of time... my goal for this afternoon will be to wash dishes... all the dirty dishes I can find I am going to take into the kitchen and at 2pm I am going to work for 1 hour and see what I can get accomplished (I have a lot of dirty dishes :) ) When I finish a sink full I will dry what I have washed and put them up... there by freeing up more room to wash more dishes :)

I am also trying to get better at the way I deal with the boys. This depression I fall into from time to time makes me quite irritatable... so I am going to do my best to keep myself in a place where things won't get on my nerves as much. Which is really important when I am trying to explain things to Robert about school.

The random ness of life

Things have been going pretty good lately... well we're keeping our heads above water anyway... if only bearly.
Anyway school is well underway, slowly but slowly Robert and I are getting into a groove and getting use to things... right now we are doing block schedualing and it seemed to work pretty good this week... so we'll see how things go :)
I think what we are going to be doing for a while is 4 maths on Monday, 4 English on Tuesdays, 2 Sciences and 4 Texas histories (or it might be the other way arround) on Wednesdays, Thursdays will be Study Island (prep for the TAKS) and 2 ed techs, plus 2 math, and Friday is our light/catch up day with just art and PE schedualed... we'll do any make up work on that day... ie if we don't finish a math or an English wee will finish it up on Fridays... I'll also be giving Rober "quizes" to make sure he remembers what he is doing ;) so if this works out Fridays are going to be virually free days...Where we can go to the zoo, or do fun things (this is the day his 4H club meets, and I think I might try and make dr appoinments for Fridays so we won't have to miss much durring the week)
