Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

End of a longish week

June 8, 2012

TGIF!! It’s been a longish week filled with dental appointments (with 2 kids), the library reading program (with 4 kids), and working out a billing snafu…UGH. My stress level reached its limit so I stopped school (much to the delight of my children) and focused on cleaning house. Housecleaning is good for me because I get good exercise from it :-). And I know that the more I move, the better I feel – you’d THINK I’d be doing more of it knowing that. I’ve also been spending more time outside now that we have that cute patio set. In fact, the kids have been spending more time outside too so it’s been a great benefit to all of us. Then again, that was the plan :-).

Today it’s grocery shopping because Matt and Jeff are coming in this evening and we have to have lots of food. It’s also Matt’s birthday today (HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT!) and we’ll be celebrating tomorrow. Yep, he’s getting ever closer to 30 – bwahahahahaha!! Sorry – couldn’t help myself. Especially since they all talk about how I’m a DINOSAUR! :-) Hell, I KNOW I’m old and actually I’m kind of looking forward to being 50. But anyway…

The question is since I’m at burnout, should I continue school or should I get some other things in place and take the next two months off and start the new school year in August. The other option is continuing doing school in the mornings and then being free to do the other stuff (like cleaning and organizing this place and pulling myself together) in the afternoons. I’m thinking of finding a good used copy of Math It for math drill and maybe going ahead and doing Winston Grammar for the English. I could pull out my little religion books to read to the younger ones (they have been standards in this house for years) as well. Also, I could continue to read the history readers from SL and do the hands on science stuff from them as well. SO – I have options.

BTW – the dental appointments went very well, the billing problem was (hopefully) fixed, and the reading program will become a regular thing this summer (the kids loved it). So, sometimes it’s a good idea to sit back and recharge so that life can be lived and problems can be worked out. Happy Weekend!!

This approaching 30 thing is not sitting well with me at all. Even stranger is that I was alive when _you_ turned 30. Dad too...

Yep, when I was 30 I had 3 kids - one of which was you :-). It's hard for me to believe I've got a child approaching 30!
