Hi all. One of my major problems is my own energy level. Last year I found
it very hard to stay motivated and do much more than prepare meals and keep
house (not very well, I might add). Turns out I was suffering from
depression, which is now under control.

Well today we had a great day. I worked at my church for 2 hours this
morning (as I do every morning) and while I was there, my girls, ages 7 and
5, went down to the preschool. There are a lot of learning activities down
there. Afterwards, we picked up my boys, ages 13 and 11, and headed to the
store, Zany Brainy, where we proceeded to "play" for over 2 hours. We
explored everything, played with a lot of things, read some books, and the
kids even watched a video (Madeline).

I didn't have any money, so we didn't buy anything, but we made lists of what
we would have bought if we did have the money. And we estimated prices and
compared prices.

Am I getting the idea of this unschooling thing yet???

YEP! That comparing prices and making lists, well that's standard fare
around here. The next skill to learn is keeping up with the lists. <G>

Yes! And it appears that you are pretty good at unshopping, also! <g>
