Do you mark NWS days the same as "S" days on your calendars? How do you keep track of whether you have used your 2 for the month (do you just fill them in ahead or just look for the yellow not on your normal S days to know)?
Just curious how people mark it!

Hi Merry...
I just throw in my yellows when I use them. I went on vacation & used 4 in a row....whatever works for you is the way to go.
BTW, I'm a homeschooling mom too! I have a high school senior down to a pre-schooler...and a couple more in the middle...quite and adventure, isn't it?

Yes, quite the adventure! My kids are 11 & 9, so not quite the range you have. But we love learning together!

Merry,
I mark my NWS days yellow. I don't usually mark them until I use them, although at the beginning of the month I pretty much know when they will be. For me, eating impulsively is part of my problem, so for me, it helps to plan my NWS days - it also gives me something to look forward to. Since I use habitcal it is easy to keep track of how many I have, since i have started I average two a month, that being said some months I have had none, one, two, up to four.
