Wrapping up the School Year

We're ending school the last week of May. That means I have 3 weeks left to wrap everything up. I'm a little behind...or the hurrier I go, the behinder I get, or something like that.

Becca's dance recital is next week and we still have a little to prepare for.

In 2 weeks I'll collect notebooks for grading.

I use an Excel spreadsheet to list classes, in quarters, and list their grades. If you know the right codes, it will actually assign percentages to each letter grade. (I'm so smart!) Unfortunately, I've forgotten the codes!

May is always a 'messy house' month. Things just don't get done because I'm scrambling to pull the last bit together.

So I'm behind in haircuts - have to do it all before Monday because Brian has CAP.

Brian is serving at the Fire Fighter's Memorial tomorrow - his unit does that every year. I was interested to hear that it was CAP who was called out to help with the search and rescue for the plane that went down the other day. But not Brian's unit. We are farther away from the crash site.

So we have 4 weeks of Physical Science. Physics will end the last week of May. Grammar will be finished by next Friday. History/Social Studies/Health Science will be done by the end of May.

Government, well I'll be hard pressed to cram the rest into 3 weeks! I'll have to see when Ami is leaving - maybe she can meet in June for a couple of weeks.

We have a graduation party at church on May 22. A friend is graduating TOMORROW!!! (Brian graduates next year. Since Josh and Brian have been studying together, I may be able to graduate Josh next year as well - we'll see. He'll only be 15 this summer.)

Brian has a shooting course next weekend - I think the focus will be on hand to hand combat on one day and maybe gun training the next, I'm not sure. They call it a Personal Protection Conference. He'll even learn defensive knife handling. I'll have to ask him for some tips!

I must have been out of my mind to schedule a photography session next weekend. I'll have to reschedule. I've already had to reschedule an appointment for next week - there's just no time.

In the midst of all this we had to change our address to a PO Box due to mail box theft in our area, AND I was sick for 4.5 days. Sigh!

So how do I have time to blog? Well, the boys finished their school work and went paintballing! I have just my 5yo at home at the moment. I hardly know what to do with myself!

Back to correcting math homework!
