Wednesday 17 January

Despite the weather and my still under-the weather health, we had a great day of R&D. This afternoon I finally went to dr.--one I had never seen, but who is supposed to be very tuned in to alternative medicine. Even though I haven't been feeling well since before Christmas, he encouraged me to wait it out another day or two. Yeesh! Anyway, I left with a prescription for an antibiotic in case I decide to resort to it. Meanwhile, back in the schoolroom...

Firstborn:

• Made corrections on his math test and was very pleased to have only gotten a few wrong (Hmmm...I was surprised he got a few wrong)
• Wrote another Christmas thank-you card
• Began Lesson 7 Latin
• Listened to and discussed one lesson from Catholic Stories from Science
• Selected poem and began memorization

Lunch: children had frozen waffles and scrambled eggs (which Sunshine made); The Prof had a walnut and vinegar omlette (?!)
