I let the girls sleep in a bit on Monday. Lindsey's idea of sleeping in is she made it until 7:30am, I finally woke Olivia at 10am. Olivia had a big literature exam, and I was concerned that her lack of sleep and the subject matter (Julias Caesar) might be an issue, but she passed with flying colors, and was very happy to put Shakespeare behind her for the year.
Tuesday was a farm day for Olivia. The temperatures were in the teens early on, so she didn't have to be there until 11am, which allowed her time to get a lot of her school work done before she went. After we dropped Olivia off, Lindsey and I scoured the thrift stores looking for new work shoes for her to wear to the museum when she starts back in April. Olivia finished up her school work in the evening while I worked on dinner.
Wednesday was another frigid farm day for Olivia. She absolutely loves going over there, and doesn't seem to mind the cold a bit. She was once again able to get a great deal of school work done before leaving, and then spent time before dinner finishing up. I spent time in the afternoon talking with an advisor from the local community college to find out about some classes for the summer and fall. I found that Olivia's PSAT scores were well above where they needed to be, which means she doesn't have to take a placement test. Summer classes will be posted next week, so we'll be looking at those.
Thursday we had a few extra things that impacted our schedule, but everyone managed to get everything done. Olivia is cat sitting for a friend of mine, so we ran over there early. I took our neighbor to the hospital for a biopsy in the afternoon, and in the evening there was a memorial service for one of my husbands friends from school. The lady, at only 49, had a heart attack over the weekend and passed away unexpectedly. She was one of those gals who was very involved with her family, church and in the community and will be greatly missed on many levels.
Friday morning we awoke to a bit of snow, and our county schools are closed. I plan to go grocery shopping early while the kids knock out school work. Once I got back we will head over to spend time with the cat that Olivia is taking care of. The goal for the evening is to make it to the $3 theater to see Aquaman, here's hoping that works out.
How was your week?

wow... I can't imagine hitting a theatre for only $3, cheapest you get here is $9! Hope you enjoyed it. Sounds like you had a good week.
ReplyDeleteWe were THRILLED when this theater opened last year!! The whole family can go for what it costs for 1 ticket elsewhere.
DeleteI've been thinking about PSAT's and wondered how to know where and when they're being offered at our local schools? One thing I am finding a bit stressful about homeschooling is I have no one around to remind me what needs to be done when. We got lots of snow but finally managed to make it snowshoeing! It was on my list of things to try this year and I was starting to think we were never going to have enough snow.
ReplyDeleteYou can contact your local high school and find out about when they are administering the tests, or just go on the College Board website and find it for yourself and then put registration deadlines on the calendar and also the date of the test. If you wait for someone to remind you, you're not going to get it done.
DeleteSnowshoeing sounds fun!
Great week. We have a $4 theater that runs old movies and a normal movie theater that runs new movies for $5 once a week. I can't imagine paying full price.

Hooray for a good week! An inexpensive theater is so fun.
