I finally got some fire under my rear quarters and started heavily praying for my "groove" to come back. I'm delighted to say that God STILL answers prayers. I got my paperwork sorted, my pantry and fridge stocked, my menu mostly made, and best of all: MY SCHEDULE REVAMPED!!! I am so excited, I can hardly sleep. That's precisely why I am up at 1:08 AM telling you poor neglected blog-readers about it.
Yep, I re-did this year's KONOS Schedule and have it all set to dates. Tomorrow and Tuesday are my "weekend", so I plan to get my next four week unit laid out and planned in detail. I feel a surge of determination to get everything crammed in and done. Now if only I could tackle my soon-to-be gym membership with the same gusto!
Here's the line-up for the rest of the year for us:

Just popping in to say hi :) Great you've got your groove back!
Wasn't sure if you were getting my emails, but I reckon with all you've had on your plate it's probably the last thing on your mind. Will talk to you soon - take care!
So, Ms. "Got Her Groove Back," is Pluto a planet? What say ye?
LoL. I just re-vamped my schedule too and I'm excited about it! We're combining orderliness and patience right now and doing a huge plant unit, which is fun. Love Konos.
Thanks Sheri. :) I needed that Wahoo!!
Faraja - NOOO. I have NOT been getting your emails! :) sprittibee at sbcglobal.net or msn.com !!! :) I've been missing you!
Hmmm... Pluto is small... and orbits rather oddly... but my favorite planet is Saturn (I've always said I was from the outer ring there), and my second favorite is Jupiter. I love those "gas giants"... and my husband would smart off with a comment of his own, but I'll not repeat that here!
Fatcatpaulanne - Love your kitty! Great minds think alike! We had the 2 plant units scheduled for this year, but living in an apartment, I figured we would have relatively little chance to actually garden... so we scrapped Patience all-together.
Girl, you sound SO MUCH like me! I love peeking through your blog. How on earth do you find time to do this? Well, I suppose I do spend a good hour in my pen and paper journal every night. Lol. I'm glad you got your "groove" back.

You know, what is so funny... is that although I got my groove back, I ditched that lesson plan for the most part. The REVAMPED schedule of last year just kept on being revamped. We spent the entire rest of the school year on Planets and Seasons. *sheepish grin* So this year we are avoiding rabbit trails!
