Today was one of those days. I don't know how or why days like this happen. You get up in the morning, everything seems to be going according to plan, but then you look at the clock and suddenly discover that it's lunchtime and all you've accomplished with your student is a lot of history reading! (Said student thinks it's been a fabulous morning. :) Well, okay, and the chores, and violin practice, and breakfast got done, and he did bring his laundry down to get started...plus I mixed up a batch of bread to rise.
TBear made macaroni and cheese for lunch (Home Ec) while I compiled a list of turkey orders for this weekend. (The Thanksgiving turkeys will be going to the butcher on Saturday morning, bright and early.) After a post-lunch 15-minute recess, we were back at the books again. Math, Latin, Writing...suddenly it was time for chores! Well, okay, so TBear's sister stopped in for a visit, and I had some cheese customers, but how did the time get away from me?! I didn't fill TBear's workboxes for this morning, and I think that made a tremendous difference in what got done, not that anyone could accuse us of sitting around watching soaps and eating bon-bons all day. Not by a long shot. Still, I had additional ideas of what I wanted to accomplish today.
I also forgot about the laundry I'd hung on the line at lunchtime. I was trying to take advantage of one of our last beautiful, breezy, sunshiny days. I wound up wearing my headlamp out just to find the laundry at 5pm! (It gets dark early here at this time of year! It was actually dark around 4:15...I missed that by a mile.) I also forgot about that bread I had rising in the oven! It's finally baking now.
Dinner is going to be late because that bread was for the toast under the chicken and gravy, which pretty much sums up the way my day has gone. Oh well, some days are like that. I'm glad we have Monday's Muddle over with. Tomorrow is going to be Terrific Tuesday! I can just feel it in my bones. :)
