How do I put this nicely. The last 5 months have been CRAPTASTIC. I try really hard to not let anyone know how really shitty things are, how we're having a tough time, or whatever it is we're dealing with at the moment. But, I feel like getting it out of my head will help me create a tackle it list, in hopes of getting back on our feet and into a routine again.
I had pneumonia for a grand total of 5 months last year. I dealt with it at the beginning of the year and then again for the last few months of it. I know those that have had it will be sympathetic to the situation, but it fucking SUCKED. School with the kids still hasn't gotten completely caught up from it all and I HATE THAT. Some days the whole this is so overwhelming we barely get the basics done, let alone all the FUN learning I wish we could. So, my resolution of the week, is to get all of our "paper" work printed and organized. We will be learning about the solar system for the remainder of the school year and there is much to prepare. Along with a history unit that none of us can agree on. I know many will say that I should just pick it, I'm the mom and teacher. Well, that isn't how we work. We decide together. And that will be decided this week. Printables, manipulatives and project materials will be received and organized.
The house is still in shambles after being sick for so long. I'm ashamed of how filthy I have allowed it to become. There is no excuse and I WILL get my house in order. ASAP.
Basically, everything is completely out of control and it desperately needs to be brought back in and together. I have the month of Feb. to get it back. Thats it. I am the one who needs a schedule and I need to set myself up with one. I think we'll all benefit from it.
Thankfully, I have sought help with Buckfield's Biggest Loser, instead of trying to do it all myself as I normally would have.
This whole post is a really good example of how my brain is working right now. Its just a mess. If you read all this shit, you deserve a cookie!

Okay, it sounds like you stepped into my brain, minus the pneumonia. Well, and minus the schooling for the sprouts--but we can put the schooling for me in its place (since, really, there is not much difference except they very probably learn easier than I do!). My house? Oh Sweetie, you don't even wanna know. Suffice it to say, if you were to see mine, you would feel really good about yours.
You're well on your way to getting all of your stuff taken care of; I can tell. I'm still sitting here with blinders on. Soon, though. Soon, I say! :)
