Exhaustion

I'm exhausted. I've actually been getting better sleep in the last few days than I have for quite a while, but maybe it's catching up with me. I realized that I didn't post anything last night...I went in my room shortly after 10 (pretty early for me) to get ready for my bed. Woke up 45 minutes later when I got a text from my friend--fully clothed and with the lights on.

Tonight, we went to dinner with a group from church. Got home about seven and tried reading books with the girls. Kiandra read us one and I got through about 2 more books before I fell asleep on the couch.

I have homework to do, but I think it might be almost pointless. We'll see if I can comprehend anything. Otherwise, I'm turning in early. Really early.

And no, I am absolutely not pregnant. Completely, physically, totally impossible. Unless we're talking immaculate conception. But I still don't think so. ;) I'm just really, really tired.

November already?!

In keeping with my goal to write something every day, here I am! However, I have a horrible headache, and I'm not quite sure what I'm going to write about just yet.

I am homeschooling Kiandra. It is her "kindergarten" year. We are having a lot of fun with it and it's so awesome to see her learning. I do not use a specific curriculum, and in fact, lean very much towards "unschooling." I attempt to do something structured almost every day, but the reality lately has been that it doesn't always happen. And when I saw "structure" I mean like 20 minutes of structure.

And amazingly (well, not really if you follow the theories behind unschooling) Kiandra started reading a couple weeks ago. She's been able to sound out words a little bit for quite some time, but she is really reading now. Of course, it's still books like "The Sad Cat" but she is getting to the harder ones and is really picking it up. I'm just so proud of her, and so excited to see her read. I hope that she enjoys it as much as I do and that reading will be a favorite activity for her for years to come.
