Two Hours Later

I'd forgotten what a nightmare it is trying to reconstruct an attendance record from the kids' old daily assignment schedules. One son started off great, dating all of his schedules, but then he petered out. Another son started dating his in the last term. We had to go through some recorded narrations to fill in the middle. But that part's done. Two sons' forms are done. It's taken two hours with a few hair-pulling moments to get this far. Now I need to do Tim's. Since hestarted high school, there's a specific way I have to label his subjects so they count for credits. We went over the credits he'd need and sorted them according to Ambleside Online's curriculum so we have a pretty good idea which credits he'll be working on in which year. But I need to find the file on my computer to see what we did before I get started on filling out his forms, and I have a squirming baby on my lap.

When this is done, I'll feel justified in indulging in a large bowl of (dairy-free) banana ice cream.
