Weekly Photo Challenge: A Day in My Life

This is my photographic response to a recent photo challenge by The Daily Post. I like taking photos, especially for this type of challenge. I find it leads me to see the world differently. And seeing the world differently is something I always find enriching.

I had planned to publish “A Day in the Life” homeschool posts summarizing each day this week, but I balked, unconvinced that it would be interesting to anyone but me (not that that’s ever stopped me from posting before).

Turns out, the people over at The Daily Post thought a photographic day-in-the-life post was just the thing for this week, so I’m doing my “A Day in My (homeschooling) Life” for Monday and participating in their challenge at the same time. Maybe I’ll add Tuesday through Friday if the mood strikes me.

This is one photo an hour from 7 am to 10 pm, Monday, April 1st, 2013.

7 am: Wiping down the bathroom.
8 am: Homeschool and a smoothie
10 am: Grammar
11 am: Math
12 pm: A hodgepodge lunch
1 pm: A walk around the neighborhood. In addition to the remains of the snow, we saw many signs of spring.
2 pm: Cleaning up the yard and adding to the brush pile. We assume it will eventually compost.
4 pm: Dinner prep and This American Life
5 pm: A quick dinner before my daughter and my spouse leave for flute group class
6 pm: A souvenir from my yard work. Every year I have to re-learn the importance of wearing gardening gloves.
7 pm: Bedtime reading
8 pm: Dishes
9 pm: Time for a grapefruit and some reading. I only got to sit here for 10 minutes before my spouse and daughter arrived home with groceries to be stowed.
10 pm: Stowed groceries

Alas, I did not go to bed at 10 pm, that’s just when I stopped taking photos. I stayed up a little later to read and prep a blog post. Bedtime on Monday was more like midnight.

For those interested, the subjects we covered today in homeschool were math, writing, grammar, handwriting, Latin, flute, and history.

      Thanks for the comment. I’m not sure what exactly you’re asking. Are you asking about how I keep up with educational requirements from external sources (e.g., what the state requires that I teach), or are you asking how we get through all of the subjects we teach on a daily basis? I recently published a four-part series of posts about homeschooling. If you’d like to read those March 2013 posts (here on this blog), they might answer some of your questions. I didn’t specifically address state requirements because they vary so much from state to state, so if that’s your question, I could address that separately. Thanks again for visiting!
