Well, I’m about to bite the bullet….anyone want a taste
So, in case you got lost in all the mumbo jumbo from waaaay back when I first started reading The Case Against Homework by Sara Bennett and Nancy Kalish (which was sometime around…oh September 3rd), the approach I chose was to read the first half of the book Fried Brains and Frayed Tempers, and comment here on different parts of the book that I found interesting or that I had something I thought might add to the thoughts already out there.
At the time, I was going to get those posts written fairly quickly and then I was going to read the second half of the book, Ending Homework Hell. And, of course, I will have much to say there as well. But, I got sidetracked because I was also reading 2 other books and trying to maintain seven or is it eight blogs.
Anyway, as I sit in my living room listening to the sounds around me, one kid snoring in one direction, an adult snoring in the other and crickets going crazy outside along with an occasional hot rod headed in one direction or another, I try to concentrate. I’m ready to get moving, just so far behind from this week’s lack of work on my part.
The Mono thing coupled with a change in anti-depressant kept me down all week. I slept approximately 18 to 20 hours a day 3 days about 15 the other days since Sunday. I am better today but tomorrow brings a lot of work as we try to finish our deck. We are planning to finish laminating the living area floor (we only did half of it way back when, long story) but we are going to pain the room first. So, anyway, it won’t be long before I’m ready to read the second half and then….
then….I’m going to be seeking advice on how to make my moves and to make them in the right direction. Bear with me here, it’s been a long sickly summer and I’m ready to make strides toward somewhere else.
Keep reading, it’s coming…..
