Baha ha! I used to get up at 5:30 which felt a lot more sane, but the hubby's work schedule changed so my sleep got cut :(. <br /><br />It is CRAZY that is one of the HUGE down falls to home schooling though. In Missouri once a child is 7 they require you to track hours to match the public education standards. Sadly what a home school child accomplishes in 30 minutes does not evenly exchange out to the chaos of a public school class room. So home school kids end up with A LOT more learning time. I can't wait until I have to start tracking hours in the fall.... #sarcasm.Beth Newmanhttp://www.ourprettylittlegirls.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1428509958800880038.post-32423797130808515432015-04-28T09:52:14.116-05:002015-04-28T09:52:14.116-05:00You really can figure out how to carve out time fo...You really can figure out how to carve out time for all the regular stuff and get the school work done too.

Mine would always have to say "not long enough" lol.<br />I loved this post! I don't know if I'm just nosy or what but I liked finding out how you spend your days. I like that you incorporate Emily and Marissa but when it's time for Marissa's work, then Emily gets to play. But they both get to color. And then you get to do some stuff around the house and you take them to the library.

I do make up a bit of sleep if I have an off day from the gym or on the weekend if I don't have an early long run. But that usually means I get 7.5 to 8 hours. <br /><br />Russ coming home is nice. Joplin is so small for being a "large town" compared to the others around us. You can be on the other side of town in about 10-15 minutes tops. His work is just under 5 minutes away so it works great. <br /><br />I LOVE Aldi. I have learned there are a few things that I won't buy there because we don't care for them but for the most part it is amazing and saves us TONS. <br /><br />I am / always have been a shower at night person. Unless I do a long run. Or I run outside in the summer I always just wait til night to shower. I don't really have time to squeeze that into my morning anyways. <br /><br />Ask away friend, I don't mind :) and thank you so much.Beth Newmanhttp://www.ourprettylittlegirls.com/noreply@blogger.com
