Can I just say this is absolutely me right now. It's 11.30ish on Sunday evening and I have just had the most insane weekend. Insane I tell you. Sadly it has been bought on entirely by myself. Too many impending deadlines all collided with the exception of one or two I really had no choice. I always knew this was going to cause me grief.
Then the girls came home Friday afternoon with a crazy to do list themselves. One look at their list meant my list got shelved. We had friends booked for dinner Saturday night and I was loathe to cancel so we squished that in too.
Aggh. It's my own fault. Richard once made the mistake of describing me as driven and hes never lived that down let me tell you. BUT my girls run rings around me when it comes to focus. Holy dooly. I love that they are focused and I don't have issues getting them to do their school work( please may that continue! ) but the downside is that I can't keep up it is seriously exhausting. No longer is an assignment type up this research and put a picture on it.
This weekend they created interactive powerpoints, a video, a prezi, an informational reports and a brochure. I'm insanely proud of how clever they are and amazed by their ability to problem solve. Sofia wanted to imbed a video she had made into her prezi and the file keep loading with an error -so she googled to find out how to convert it and then downloaded the software to do so - then that didn't work ( I'd be in tears by this stage worrying that the work I had planned wasn't going to happen! ) and so then she said let's load it to you tube it'll be right - and sure enough she did and it was.
My to do list never happened. I managed this evening now they are in bed to get through the absolute minimum to get me through tomorrow. Two days of school left for me then I have a month off. The girls have three days left and they have certainly earnt their holiday.
Longing for a break!
