Time to Work

This is the opposite of my last post.  I have been slowly making progress on our schedule and the house.  The children are doing better and better at getting their required school work done each day.  I am getting better and better at doing my required work.  It is time to raise the bar.  

We received our refundable deposit from the apartment we moved out of and with some of it made a trip to Powell's Books.  Anytime we receive extra money it means a book buying spree.  I have been reading my first book by David McCullough, 'John Adams' and I can't begin to tell you how much I am enjoying it.  Aside from the fact that when I read the book I feel like I am being transported back in time and am an invisible witness in the goings on of that time, it is a treasure in our homeschooling education.  And I'm mistaken in saying 'aside from the fact' for it is because of that fact that it is such a treasure.  I can assure you that it will not be long before we own all of David McCullough's books, and in hardback.  In addition to McCullough's incredible books that I am desiring to read as soon as possible, there are many, many more on my 'to read' list.  This is a large reason for my needing to raise the bar on my daily accomplishments, I have got to find more time to read.  I have got to finish arranging the house so I can spend that time getting the necessary cleaning done which is not being done frequently enough.  Also, I have many sewing projects for things around the house and mending.  AND, I want to spend time consistantly doing this, updating my blogs.

Time to get to work.
