A serious slack-arse for the last few weeks! Fighting with Beth to get some work done is so draining that it seems I take any opportunity to fall in a heap. Last week basically proved that if I want to get anything done during the week, I MUST PLAN AHEAD or we basically just vegetate in front of a screen all week…

Beth has taken to playing on Starfall.com again, which, if she is actually reading (and she does seem to be) means she has done something on her own. She also read to Katy a couple of times, although the second time I think she was retelling the story rather than reading it. And she has been doing LISP with E a couple of nights. Oh, and we’ve been reading Puberty Girl and Pride and Prejudice.
So, not entirely free from anything academic, just nothing very structured. I’m going to see how it works if I write up separate entries for every day this week, going back to modify them each evening if necessary. If I don’t have to do all the thinking each night when I’m tired, I might get further!
