No name for the blog today. Maybe I should call it falling asleep on the couch. I was so tired today that I really was falling asleep. That's the second time in a month or so. I've had fatigue and gotten tired for years, but I usually don't fall asleep. It's more like exhausted than sleepy. But if I don't sleep great for just a night or two lately, I just can't stay awake. I guess it's good that I'm headed for bed at 8:30! Of course, headed for bed means reading and writing for a while; but at least I'm not starting at 10:30 like usual.
It was raining today too, which drains me of energy. I wish I could live where it just rains a few minutes and then it's just sunny. Oooh, Hawaii! Sarah kept wanting to go play badminton in the rain, but it was too gross. Rain takes it out of Rachel too. She's planning on living somewhere deserty when she's older.
I worked on statistics with Sam again today. I probably need to go over that with Sarah too in addition to her Pre-Algebra. She's doing great with math. Once in a while, she gets frustrated; but it's nothing like it used to be with tears and everything. I'm sure Sam will be fine with the Pre-Algebra next year. I'm going to spend this year doing things with him that will be in the Pre-Algebra book, but without the rules and procedures. If he gets it all down this year by logic, maybe the procedures won't trip him up.
Rachel and I went over the practice ACT some more today. We found a chart that turn raw score into ACT score and we figured it wouldn't be as bad as she thinks even if a lot of the math is guessing. I knew that, but she's just so unsure. I sort of wish she had taking some tests with other kids or timed ones or something. I don't know if that means I'll have the others do more things like that before they have to take the ACT or not. I'll have to think about it.
Sarah did a science experiment about distillation today. She had to put a bunch of salt in water, boil it, and gather the steam. She said the water she gathered was not salty. Maybe we should do that to our very hard water instead of using the water softener. I'll never get used to having slippery water!
Sam gets to go see the surgeon tomorrow. I hope the doctor does something to loosen the tapes they put across the incisions. They're itching Sam to death. I wonder if the doctor will tell him he can exercise again. He's ready to get back to push ups! Well, I don't know that he's completely ready, but that's what he wants.
See you tomorrow!
