So to say I have been on total burn out the last two months is a understatement--So no blogging cause just keeping the daily routine going has been all I can manage
Cabin Fever when you home school proves to be the most difficult thing I have ever endured--worse than the last month pf pregnancy--At least in pregnancy you have a due date to look forward to --and a doctor that will enthusiastically slice you open if you go overdue--Not so while you are waiting gout the crappy weather praying for a day of sun to melt the snow--
We have been getting out of the house a bit--just to break up the time--
We went to Boise in March and crammed in as much fun as humanly possible, the science center, the zoo, Olive Garden, Snake river, and Perkins. Emmett was really impressed with the teddy bear pancake he got at Perkins.
Today --I am turning over a new leaf--Wade is coming home--- reinforcements are on the way. It is so nice to know that you have a partner to cover your butt when time get tough--It's even better when they are home to give you a hug and watch the kids so you can shower, or go potty, or go to the barn with out hearing murder and mayhem going on in the house.
I HAVE made a major decision--(yes Breezi you were right) I am official NOT homeschooling next year. It's so time consuming--and while I love the interaction with the children and the fact they learn SO much more information than public school--plainly put--I need some me time. I don't think people truly realize how exhausting it is raising four boys --FULL time --literally the children are NEVER GONE--My only time alone is the occasional trip to the grocery store when I leave Lliam in charge and the little boys all in front of the TV. I find myself driving really slow just because the time is so precious I don't want it to end.
Another thing I have decided I am not doing a garden this year...for the same reasons--it's so time consuming--For the amount of time I spend on the whole process I can take twenty bucks and go down to the Farmers market and let someone else do all the "Dirty" work. And we have a great Farmers Market so I am going to capitalize on it.
For now--I need to tidy up the house--wade is home in less than 24 hours and I need to tidy up all the paper work I have been avoiding for the last ninety days--UGH
