We always pay for our mild winters. :) <br />I could spend all day every day cleaning and the house would still be dirty where I started! At least that is how I feel, so I don't clean in the summer until we have people coming over or it gets on my nerves. I get dinner cooked, laundry done, clutter controlled, bathrooms reasonably clean. That is my summer plan. <br />I am glad your summer is mostly good and productive. When do you start school?

I had thought every single thing you wrote at one point in time during our home education journey. Then this last year putting them in the online school, I saw how all my efforts were so fruitful. They both got all A's, scored off the charts on the standardized tests, wowed their teachers, and made me look good. Haha!!
