What happens when you have too MANY irons in the fire? That's where I am at right now!
The good thing is that you sleep really well. Sometimes I'm in bed as early as 9:30 p.m. That is shocking for this night owl.
The bad thing is that you fall asleep before you get your normal 30 minutes of reading at bedtime. So my book list is shorter this month but I am super proud that I finished another non-fiction book. They are so hard for me!
Have you ever wondered why people choose to homeschool their kids?
I'm sure that you have.
There are so many questions.
- Do we stay in our pjs all day?
- HOW do you stand being with your kids 24/7?
- What do you do to socialize your kids?
- Will you do this through highschool?
- Do you get money for teaching them at home?? (um NO!)
It always amazes me how much fabric I need to make a rag rug.
After steadily cutting up jeans and making strips this week I have several piles ready so that I can start my rug next week.
Thankfully the jeans are free. I’ve saved jeans from all of my kids, myself & husband for a few years. I have no idea if I have enough or not.
Every time I drive in and out of my drive way I look at all the leaves covering the grass. I feel both frustration and anticipation as I think about being ready to plant my garden in the spring.
I can’t WAIT to get outside this spring! AND Oh there is so much to do out there!
Spring work anticipation
My mother-in-law always says she hates spring. I've never agreed with her but I can understand her perspective this year. There’s just too much to do and its easy to feel overwhelmed.
The gray sky is getting to me a bit. We’ve been sick and I’m SICK of indoors. I am craving my garden therapy.
I’d even mow the grass if it was green.
But it is February and we are slogging on with catching up on school so there can be more time outside in April, May and June.
March brings us the promise of spring with slightly warmer temperatures but we can still have a lot of snow happen here in mid Missouri.
