Things have been a little quiet at our school this week because Brynne has been sick. We are hoping to do some things today.
But I had to share a **smile** moment from my older daughter who attends public school. If you were to know her you would know that she is the master procrastinator! She's been working on a research project about Carrie Underwood. While watching her two favorite DVR'd shows yesterday afternoon she paused it and said, "I think I'm going to go ahead and get my report done and turned in now and I'll watch t.v. later." Huh???? What have you done with Kyndal???? And that's exactly what she did. And she turned it in electronically at 7:30 p.m. (when normally she would have stayed up all night doing it and turned it in at 7:56 a.m. this morning when it was due by 8:00 a.m.). Later she said, "Wow, it feels good to be all done with it early so I can just relax." Duh .... (I didn't say that.) And, the paper was five pages instead of three! Awesome!
And I just need to say that one of the gazillion reasons why I love homeschooling has happened this week. With Brynne being sick, we have been able to just read on the couch, put off some things, take it easy and just snuggle back to being healthy. In public school, of course, that would not have been the case.

Jumpin' up and down with you, my friend. Love it when they have those "light bulb" moments. :)
