Ahhhh … I could use a beer right now.  Or something cold and delicious.  Or something chocolate.  Or really anything rewarding.

We’ve had another successful year of homeschooling.  Coach came today and evaluated the LightChildren and our homeschool (Osgiliath Classical School).  We passed with flying colors.  In fact, he said, “I wish I could bring other families out here and give clinics.  You have a healthy family and a healthy school.”

I’m feeling very relieved and just a little smug.

It won’t last long … we still have a lot of work to do for this academic year.  We’re quite behind.  But for now I will bask in the glow of a job well done.

I learned two things today.  The first is the vast difference between how I face evaluations and how the LightChildren face them.  They have a much healthier attitude towards it.  I’m glad; it’s one thing that I wanted them to get out education that I did not.  The other was a primer on how to do records of high school and how to think outside of the box so that a study of fabric dying can become a class on Textile Design and Production.  Yeah, buddy!  I’m lovin’ that …

Now we’re off to a Memorial Day cookout and swim at PlusOneFriend’s house.  Oh, what a relief it is …
