Today our eight year old and I spent time watching a tree trimming crew working for the power company, trimming back the trees in front of the house across the street, making way for safe power delivery. It was made into a Social Studies lesson as we observed the safety precautions taken by the two men in the truck, especially where the road warnings and cones were concerned, and how much they were cutting back without permission from the property owner as a matter of right of way. We also read through her sight word cards, and she is all set on the front side words on that set, ready to go to the other side.
We have only about a month to go before the kids are out of school for the summer, and I will be free to focus on getting our farm spaces sorted out, and since I decided on a new computer, to upgrade the means of managing the farm, and blogging, and media production. Surely I did not buy a new computer just to play Age of Empires on! Tomorrow the computer arrives, and I get to start setting it up for use, and the next day I want to go scope out the firewood supplies down at the green waste disposal, and see if they are still giving it away for free as they have last year and the one prior.
Sleep has been a joke the last few nights. Last night I awoke at 2:30 AM and did not get properly back to sleep after. I think I could have held a coherent conversation at any point, as I was concious till morn.
On that note, it is time to try again, and see if I can get a good night’s sleep. Maybe tonight? I can only dream!
