Mary if you weren't so far away I would. I did that for my dear bestest Betty friend when her dh was off fighting for our freedom. I just came in and kind of took over the kitchen. Organized the cabinets, pantry and cooked a ton of food for her and her kiddos so all she had to do was reheat stuff. She was also recovering from pneumonia at the time. I might be off doing this again for her since he's off in the big sandbox again.

I, like Mary, am writing like crazy in our books!! And I have only used them four days now ! I was thinking when I reuse them to just write in a different color for each child!
The way the guides are set up are so helpful to this Betty!! I am beginning to feel just a little organized-GASP!!!!

I can look at the page and see what I've done and what is left to do- in a glance! We began at 8am and finished today at 10:30 am -doing two programs! And, for the grand finale----- MY SON GOT ALL, YES ALL, OF HIS SPELLING WORDS RIGHT TODAY! ON THE FIRST TRY!!!! I am getting off topic here, but My excitement about HOD is growing! Can you tell? My disorganized friend with six kids is coming over today and I am so excited to show her my books!! I feel like we are accomplishing something in school for the first time! Mary's Betty/Olive post really confirmed what I was feeling that I need to get us on track.
I'll quit rambling now.....

Ok, so I finally penciled in the date and DD initial on the pages we complete just to start keeping a record. I must say, I have such a hard time writing in books. Even those workbook type books for Bible study. I'm the one who uses a notebook for the answers.

Kelly,

Just had to pop in and celebrate with you and your son's spelling success. That is a reason to stand up and CHEER!

Blessings,
Carrie

I was starting to feel "out" of it. I write in lots of books, especially my beyond. Sometimes it is only a check, but I will also write what we did in place of, as well.

BUT - in NY we have to file quarterly reports and it helps a lot to have it written there for when I write the reports.

ALTHOUGH - I had to teach my son this year that we can NOT write in library books. He is so used to seeing me write in books.
