Getting excited about CTC...

even though we have 13 weeks to go before we get there 
First I was thrilled that we will be able to buy it when we need it. Then I was showing the catalog to my youngest daughter, to have her input on whether to buy the history read-alouds, girls interest read-alouds, or the independent extension pack. My daughter said. "I still want to have read-alouds with you, it's nice." 
The I asked which read-aloud set, and she picked the girl interest set, because she thought it would be more interesting than the history read-alouds. Well that is an even bigger blessing because we own two of the books, and all but one are available within our local library system. This means a significant savings. And I already have her next language arts and math that I got second-hand, so I only really need the Economy Package and the Science Adder, along with the one read-aloud and the music CD! It makes me very happy to see that all being worked out, when I had been worried I'd have to settle for something else. I'm especially happy to see my daughter so eager to get started, and so excited about what's coming next. I have a schedule worked out for the last of Preparing, and one for CTC when we are ready for it. It's good to have things in order, it brings a much-needed sense of peace.
