Enjoying the quiet.

Well, the kids are away and I am sitting here listening to my hubby snore his way through some TV show.  Not paying enough attention to even know what it is.  I am so enjoying the silence.  And the ability to finish a job that takes more than 10 min without interruption.  That is one of the problems with home educating.  There is rarely any time when the kids aren't around and I am awake enough to do paperwork type jobs that require some attention.  I start, spend 5 min, have to go help a kid, 3 min, have to referee and argument, 5 min, the phone rings, 2 min, someone has a question, and it goes on and on and a job that would take about an hour uninterrupted takes 2-3 hours.  I love my kids, but sometimes I wish I could just wave a wand and have them sit quietly in the corner for 20 min.  Not that I would know what to do if they did because I would be so shocked, but it is nice to dream. 
I got the renewals for my home school group caught up, now to put them into the database.  I also got my evaluations scheduled and contacted someone about getting Babes his standardized testing since he is in 3rd this year.  I also decided that we will be participating in a Co-op this coming school year.  It should be a good experience.  I will be Co Teaching photography to the 6-8 graders with a young lady who will be graduating this spring.  That will be an adventure for sure.  Girlie will probably be in the class.  I am not sure what classes are being offered for everyone yet.  I will find out though. 
Didn't make Curves at all this week.  I was not feeling good physically and that made my emotional status worse and then I made bad food choices which caused me to gain weight and also affected my moods.  I know certain foods kill my attitude, but sometimes I just want to eat them.  Cause they are the tasty ones.  Why do the foods that taste good make my attitude yucky.  I wish that the foods that I didn't like were the ones that made me grumpy.  Would make this loosing weight thing a whole lot easier. 
While I am enjoying the silence now, I will be ready for the kids to come home tomorrow.  Too long without them and the silence becomes oppressive.  So I am going to go read for a bit. then I may do some dishes, or start a load of laundry or fold some clothes, or.... who am I kidding.  I will read for a bit then play on the computer some more then go to bed. 
Have a great week.
