Update

I'm still alive. I can't believe I've gotten so slack on journaling. So this last month has been a little draining emotionally. Little man Wyatt had surgery and is recovering very nicely, but has required a lot of extra momma time. He also turned one year old Saturday and little man Brian turned 5 yesterday. We have a lot of cake around here. I hope that you all are doing well. I have kinda been in an inbetween place lately struggling to keep up with all on my plate. However, my hubby has found a secretary of sorts which takes a lot of pressure off me feeling like I need to be at the shop more. I have been reworking my schedule with an HMB. And just when I thought it was just me, my friend Wendy posted on her struggles as a homeschool mom and wrote what was in my heart.

I'm sort of mixing it with flylady's stuff, too. My kitchen looks better right now than it has since I had my 3rd child!!! (and my dh is so happy to see things being hauled off to the Salvation Army store..although he will admit he is a bigger packrat than I!).; 10:02 AM

Shan said...: Yes, welcome back to...your blog. That seems a little funny to say. We do get used to regular updates though, it's true. You know, I don't even homeschool and I'm feeling the same way. I think we could all use a huge dose of sunshine about now. Take care of yourself!; 10:44 AM
Amy's Blah, Blah, Blogging said...: I'm sure the new secretary does help, and I'm glad to hear it. I have been having a hard time keeping up and journaling lately too. I just feel like life has become a whirlwind.

I hope whatever surgery little Wyatt had was not that big of a deal. So scary! I remember when Lilla got tubes and I panicked. I can hardly imagine anything more serious!

Take care,
Amy; 6:04 PM
