Time For Some Adjusting

The beginning of the school year often leads to some adjustments after a few days.  Laura has been working for several weeks, but this was the first week we were going full speed instead of half speed.  What I have discovered is that I have the schedule too full.  With all that Laura is doing, I am not getting to Megan's schooling as I want.  So, my plan is to rearrange some things.

We are doing Creation to Christ from Heart of Dakota, and the program is fantastic.  However, I feel that the extra stuff I added just makes the day too long and time consuming for me.  The extra stuff isn't needed, but was stuff I desired to do with my daughter.  I think it is time to go back to the drawing board and do some tweaking.

Megan only finished half of her week "K", and I wanted to go more full time with her so we can finish the program twice before she begins Kindergarten.

It'll take me a couple weeks of tweaking to see what is the perfect fit for us for our schedule.  I have to do this a bit every year.  I have heard others do too, but I would love to hear from some others about common issues you deal with at the beginning of a school year.
