Anyway, here’s my question: With one of my math problems, I had to use a protractor tofind 50* to make the angled part of a rhombus, but I did not have one, so I made a 0* angle from the line I started with, then, from the same point, then I drew a 90* angle straight down, each of them being 3 cm long. Then I drew a line across from the tips of the other two lines, found the middle of the 4 cm line, and drew it to the point where the other two lines started. If I am correct that line was 45*. Then I took the remaning 5*, and divided them into 2, which eaquled 0.6 . After that I measured down 0.6 cm from the intersection between the 4 cm line and the 45* line, which gave me *50. I was wondering if this was correct for future reference.

Homeschool day 30 or 180
Yesterday was an amazingly productive day. The kids did almost all of their homeschool on time with few errors. Lorena did some stellar work on the bonus room and studied her calculas. I made two fairly large breakthroughs on my program to inspect rosettes and enjoyed a very real sense of accomplishment. It was another good day. I think maybe some of this had to do with trying to focus a little more on living in the present. We are in the middle of a very busy time in our lives right now. This would normally create a lot of unnecessary stress in my life. It surely seems to be helpful to attitude to just concentrate on and enjoy what needs to get done now. That is almost a platitude, but it seems to work. The really grand part of this is that, as my spirit improves, so does life in our family.
