Yeah, here again

Bouncing back and forth like some kind of rubbery little ball. Homeschooljournal.net. Blogger. Xanga. Thinking about .mac. You know the drill.

Today was our first new co-op. I felt so out of the loop. And I am the loop. That's what's scary. I felt very unprepared. I was supposed to bring a story starter from a book I returned to the library, and suddenly the book isn't on the shelf this morning--it's in the "hold" section, but it's not really there like the online catalog said it was. I planned a little too much with our "theme day" class and we didn't get to it all. The frosting for the cake we were going to make didn't make it out of our cart last night when we were shopping, so we had to put it together at the co-op, which was something we didn't need to take the time to do. And then I had to rush off with Ollie, then rush back to get Frances, then rush over to gymnastics again, only to get there 10 minutes late, where Frances had to warm up on her own with what I call "punishment pushups."

Still, I'm feeling very optimistic about what we have coming up with this. It feels so comfortable to be back with Adena and Hilary and to have a small group of kids who really know each other well and want to be together.
