Amelie

I am trying to write up an Annual Plan for the new project I am working on.  It is a rather big document.  Amelie is getting the short end of the stick with us now being on homeschool "essentials" only.  We did have a pretty productive morning this morning despite this.  I didn't get too much work down though.  Amelie goes to the local school for one hour a day to attend computer class.  She went this afternoon and came home at about 3pm.  She lay down on my bed with her backpack still on and picked up a book of Greek Myths.  She loves this book.  And read it for the next two hours.  After I remembered she had some workbook work to finish off, I asked her to finish up.  She finished up (after asking if she could finish 3 more pages of the chapter).  She then ate three bananas (that takes a while - although they are very little bananas).  Then she had to find a very particular pencil.  She said she had given it to me before lunch to put away (I can't remember!?!).  I had to convince her she could use another pencil.  Eventually after a very long discussion about that, she goes to get another pencil.  She then sharpens the pencil (out the window - hey, pencil shavings are biodegradable!)  She drops the pencil sharpener out the window.  She goes to retrieve the pencil sharpener.  She comes back.  Forgets where she left her pencil.  Finally, finds her pencil and starts her work.  Is that procrastination or what!?
