Back to It!

     The Christmas tree has been picked up by the Boy Scouts for recycling, or whatever they do with it.  The decorations have been boxed back up and stored in the garage.  There's still fudge and gingerbread boys in the refrigerator, but it's been pushed to the very back due to over-consumption.  It's Monday and that means, back to homeschooling. 
     Let's see, where did we leave off?  Ah, algebraic equations, volcanic activity, and Great White sharks.  I like getting back into the routine of it all.  But, the stress of getting ready for the holidays has been replaced with the stress of getting assignments done for the end of the learning period.  The learning period was split in half due to the holidays.  I left off in convenient places, though.  Finished chapter 9 in science, stopped after a review and a test in math, and got a good chunk of all the other subjects done.  It shouldn't be too hard to pick up where we left off.
     I'm apprehensive as we get started.  Usually, Zack has a hard time after a weekend break.  What would two weeks do to him?  It's nice to have a break, but often, I feel like we shouldn't take any at all.  We lose so much momentum. 
     Nice surprise!  Zack is doing well with all his subjects today.  Math, which is usually the hardest to continue with, went amazingly well!  I wonder if it has anything to do with the Pharma GABA tablets I've started to give him.  Or, maybe reviewing the difficult areas before going on break made the difference.  I'm hopeful that the rest of the week will go smoothly, and we won't have to review too much from before the break.
