Moving Forward with so many things

It is amazing how stress free my life is now. Seriously. Not financially, that part will never be stress free but emotionally it is. I am not feeling well today. I have a cold (as does my husband) we know we got it from the 40 degree weather this past weekend on our first official cub scout weekend camping trip. It was cold for us and although it was warm during the day, as soon as the sun dropped it turned very chilly.
So, not feeling well and normally the boys would trounce on that opportunity to run all over me. I don't often get sick but sometimes I get busy etc.. they take full advantage of that. I was surprised that after breakfast was over they both moved to their computers and signed on to do their lessons without even a nudge.
I usually look at the time when I see that they begin. Depending on how they are doing with their lessons it can take them anywhere from an hour to two. It also depends on how stubborn my 6 year old is. My oldest son usually "reads" some of his younger brother's assignments and tests with him which does not bother me in the least. Truthfully the 6 year old is so far ahead that I see him passing his brother at some point which will bring on a whole new set of problems between the two boys. For now I am happy that they can "share" in their assignments and for right now it is review for the 9 year old so I look at it as a positive thing.
Hopefully tomorrow I will feel better but if I don't, it will be interesting to see how they do with their schoolwork. Thankfully we all love their curriculum and that helps make life so much easier..... Now where did I put those attendance sheets that I need to fill in???? goodness at my forgetfulness....
