Hi guys! Long time no see! Yes, I've been lazy. And, I've glorified in every indulgent moment! But, I miss blogging and sharing in the worlds of others. It's validating and reminds me that we don't have to be rich or give up on what we believe in. We just have to try.
Well, we've had a LOT of changes here recently. Like I almost gave up on all the schooling and was a smidge away from placing the kids into one of those online public school programs. I didn't though...but I have looked into the options of more "prepared" materials/activities and more things that involve organized events.
We've been saving up to be able to buy more of those materials because short of getting a "Time Turner" from Professor McGonagal, taking No Doze 24/7, or waiting at some crossroads I can't put more time in each day. So...saving money and buying some materials or some snazzy equipment to help me make materials. I think I'm growing up and realizing I really can't do it all on my own. I can't diy everything, homeschooler, bake/cook (we're in the process of getting ready for GAPS), clean, sew, finish my degree, be a mom, a wife, make my own soap/deodorant/shampoo/cleaning supplies and not be a complete mental mess.
So, I'm looking at backing down on things that won't make a difference in the long run. I don't have to finish my degree right now. It can wait. I don't have to grow everything especially when the Farmer's Market has organic veggies. I don't have to make our deodorant as Toms makes some great stuff. Check out the Lavender apparently it moisturizes. (did you know armpits need moisturized?)
I'm starting to utilize the resources around me and, I'm really glad. There's a saying that it's darkest just before the sunrise. Well, I can see some rays.

Thanks for being patient.

Hey, we all just do the best that we can with what we have. In the long run, we just focus on what really matters and all else will or will not happen.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I have these moments all the time, so I really understand. One thing around here that is making life better is simplifying. I love it, and what it is doing for my family. Simplifying activities, simplifying the items in our home, etc.. I look forward to reading more!
