ha - me too! though you'd never know it from what i wrote. i should have mentioned that at the beginning of september i had all the curriculum stuff lined up and two weeks of lesson plans blocked into my planner.

uh... it's a good thing that was written in pencil, because in the first week, DD got through more math than i had projected we'd do in two months - she sort of couldn't stop - things kept connecting to other things and spiralled a little out of control. so i guess for us, the over-arching plan is essential... but i can't block stuff in more than a day or two in advance, because it's really hard to tell how long we'll really need to spend on things!


Every Sunday it brooded and lay on the floor. Inconveniently close to the drawing-room door.
