Things I'm not going to do...

In light of my recent realization of having only 3 real months left, I'm making a list of things I don't want to get bogged down in for this time period. I can bog myself down later.  So here goes:

1. I'm not going to learn to play piano alongside Z.

2. I'm not going to read important works of literature that I feel I should read.

3.  I'm not going to spend any more time figuring out next year's curricula.  I already have a pretty good plan, I think, and I'm going to stick to that.  In a nutshell: Z is going to do Ambleside Online year 2, as is, and also LLATL yellow, Developmental Math, HWT, and maybe Artistic Pursuits and/or Drawing with Children.  L is going to do Explode the Code, Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading (I think), SSRW games/songs, but not workbooks, HWT, math manipulatives and calendar with maybe a workbook thrown in, lot's of good read-alouds from the library, sit in on some of Z's history, science, and art lessons. So there it is. No more posts on that for awhile.

4.  I'm not going to feel guilty about: not signing L up for any activities, not spending lot's of time getting together with other kids, not going on lot's of nature walks, and not getting everything done that I hope to.

5. I'm not going to buy anything new.  You know, beyond food and such.

6. I'm not going to spend much time in the grocery store.  I've discovered that Safeway will deliver the groceries for a relatively low fee.  Besides, $6.95 is worth it to not have to deal with, well you can imagine the grocery store fun.

7.  I'm not going to spend lot's of time obsessing about what may happen in the future.  Ok, I might spend a little time doing this, but...well, Rome wasn't built in a day (or some other creative and more appropriate saying that I'm not going to spend time thinking up right now).

To be continued if I think of more things that I can let myself off the hook for.
