Well...some weeks it just takes a little deeper of a search to find the accomplishments....
Just give me a few moments here..................I'm sure I can come up with SOMEthing...
OH YES! How's this:
1) I came up with an alternative way to use our Saxon Algebra book because the "incremental" teaching style of the book "just isn't cutting it" this year...and, rather than cry my eyes out and host a book-burning campfire for all frustrated homeschooling moms...I, instead, talked to my husband, PRAYED, and thought of a different approach to try while using the same textbook. How's that?
2) We have done a really good job on making sure we clean up and vacuum our school room each day when we are done with our lessons. We had gotten into a bad habit of rushing onto the next thing and thinking we'd come back and clean a little later...and, well...you can guess how THAT worked out. So, we resolved, when my dear hubby built us our new (wonderful) classroom this year, that we would be diligent in our efforts to clean it up each and every day. So far, so good.
3) Cleaned out my "plastic storage container" cabinet. I love opening the doors when it's neat and tidy in there. ::smiles satisfactorily::
Okay! See what I mean? I had to dig a little, but I found some Small Successes!

I read about several families recently who have changed the way they use the Saxon books (not just Algebra). So far, they've worked for us, but it's nice to know that adjustments are possible.
I, too, love opening those cabinet doors after cleaning out the plastic stuff. Unfortunately, it doesn't last long at all in this house...I find bowls in the living room w/ food crumbs, in the basement w/ Legos, in the bathtub...ALL over the house!
I'm personally smiling for #3. There is something soooooo satisfying about organization! Now, any suggestions on getting my family to assist with keeping cabinets looking that way? Great job on homeschooling tasks - that's no small feat!
