I remember 3 things from this movie: raw eggs, raw meat, and the above scene The mornings this week have been as painful as Rocky’s. Can’t. Get. Up. Mark. Couldn’t. Sleep. Again. Perseverance was the theme this week. There was no lofty goal but to get those hours of school accomplished. I stand atop my own 72 steps, knowing the children haven’t been neglected academically (or ahem, socially, my concerned critics). In celebration, I’ve been thinking the Rocky theme song because Friday was here and the end was in sight…
The end of talking about the Babylonian empire;
The end of talking about the Cuban Missile Crisis;
The end of Lessons 70 in Math 65 and Algebra I and subtraction without regrouping;
The end of high and low pressure systems, clouds, and wind currents; pollination and seed development;
The end of trying to stay ahead of voracious readers and preparing study questions;
The end of juggling the needs of a 3 year old with the needs of all the others.
The books are put away in the school room; the birthday presents are purchased; anything I do now will just put me in the black for next week’s schoolwork. I hope your weekend is as bright with possibilities as ours looks tonight.
