My CRAZY Family

I am blessed with a family and a home filled with joy and love. There are 6 people in my family as well as 2 dogs and 1 cat. Doesn't sound that bad actually and we are usually pretty organized but the times that we aren't...well...lets just say that we become more crazy than we already are. Jack is the oldest he is 15, Ella-Kathryn (me) am 12, Will is 9, and last but not least Ryan who is 7. So as you can see I am the only girl, but I manage somehow. The thing is, my dad works full time as a cop, my mom is now working part time doing data entry for the sheriffs office, my Jack goes to public school but the rest of us kids are home-schooled. I love being home-schooled! I can sleep in, stay up later, have more time during the day to do what I want, and I cant eat what I want and when I want all day. Don't get me wrong, I do 5 hours of school a day (it isn't a lot compared to public school) and I work hard. In my spare time I do chores around the house, play baseball, football, soccer, etc. with my brothers, talk to my friends and cousins over face time or texting, and take naps in my hammock:)
I really like school surprisingly but I don't like it as in all want to do is school everyday all day kind of thing. I am a slow learner which means it takes time for me to understand something so simple. And so that can make my days go by slower, make me frustrated, or make me not like a subject anymore but it only lasts a day or so. My favorite subjects are science (even though it's harder for me to understand), math, grammar, and reading. I do four days of school a week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) so that makes it easier to start a new week of school knowing I only have four days till I am done with school.
Part of my day is a time where I do my bible study and read my bible. I like to do my bible study first thing in the morning or late at night, before I go to bed. I always have bible study outside of the home except for holidays, breaks, and in the summer. Well, now that it's summer I don't have any bible studies to go to, so I am responsible for reading my bible everyday. I like to have a reminder either on my phone or have someone to keep me accountable. I have been trying to keep someone I know accountable which has been hard but I will manage.
I am also a busy body, I like to be busy and when I am and I have my plate full I am content. I don't like to be lazy and sit around but it happens more often that I would like it to. However I do like to have a day in the week where I can just sit around take care of some things around the house but mainly just relax and take a break from the things happening around me.
Since it is summer my school is a bit lighter. The only things I have to get done are math, history, science, and grammar it's an in between. All other subjects though such as dictation, Spanish, composition, and current event I don't have to put as a priority but I need try to get them done. School days usually look like this: I do my school first thing in the morning which takes about 3 hours or less then we head to the pool. So I am excited for those summer days to come!
Jack is already out of school, today was his last day. All he has for the rest of the summer is football and work. Both my parents will be working over the summer. My little brothers will be doing school. I will be doing school and babysitting.
Summer and School here I come:)
