Some days are fun, and easy: the students behave in class
and ask good questions, homeschooling goes well, we have good interactions with
a variety of people, we get some time to relax together.
Some days are difficult: friction develops in certain relationships,
the students misbehave, the students fail an exam you tried to make easy, the
goat gets stolen.
And some days, you just need coffee.
Today is a coffee day.
I stayed at the lunch table after our children went to take
naps, for the purpose of marking midterm tests. I fell asleep with my pen
on the page, and woke up to find a red line across some poor student's test.
That's when I decided to make coffee. (The results are (so far) not so bad for
Form I. One student even scored 100%! I have a pretend wager with her to see if
she has the top mark on the exam.)
It's pretty busy around here because Logan and I are both
giving exams and marking them... and there's always housework to do, and extra
work supervising at school, and walking to town for groceries and cooking gas
and errands... Anyway, I'm just plain tuckered right now. Which is a good
thing! It feels good to be in the swing of things. Now, if only I could
learn to go to bed earlier...
