how do you do all that?

it was all study for tests in our house this evening. or so it seemed! there's the spanish animals test plus the latitude and longitude test for son two. he's in 6th grade and will probably do fine in those tests. he's already had two tests (health and math) that he's done fine in! son one 10th grade is studying for science. sounds a lot like chemistry. i helped with the spanish! (la tortuga is turtle, who knew!! there's a tortuga in the BVI that i'd love to go one day). and this is test two for science as well.
and there's 3rd grade spelling too, sentences and reading and in kindergarten we're just reading together!

i am nearly finished my book, i keep reading and reading. i'm curious to know what actually happens. it's rather blah atm. i have issues reading novels written by men using a female pov. somehow it always seems lacking in some way. and i do try to have an open mind in that matter. i've got 3 other books that i'm also reading, and i'm really anxious to get on with the dan brown one!

another day of preschool tomorrow for smallgirlchild. her second day. she's anxious to stay for lunch. i think i will let her do that. it works better with our pick up schedule. i'm going for a nice mile plus walk while she's at school, then to la target for the usual bits and pieces. with any luck, and good timing, i can do both of those tasks!

i'm curious about how other bloggers create their blog posts. do you go with a subject each time? do you just go with it and let the words flow? how much do you edit? i like reading both of those sorts of posts, so i tend to do both, depending on my mood. lately i've been trying to go with a topic and then just go with that and keep writing until i run out of what i consider interesting stuff to share. i'm not sure everyone wants to read the more plurkable parts of my day anymore (since most of us do this and it's rather boring, or so says a lot of the bloggers who apparently don't like reading it on other blogs).
