Today
FOR TODAY November 2…
Outside my window… It’s dark. I am just now getting around to free time and it’s disgustingly smoky outside. Like, you can’t breathe out there. Someone decided to burn something.
~
I am thankful… for people who reach out when we seem to need it most.
~
From our studies… I’ve slacked completely it seems in Lala’s studies 
I’m having the worst time keeping things running…
I’m having the worst time keeping things running…~
From the kitchen… Chocolate chip cookies…and halloween candy…and corn dogs (thank you.)
~
I am wearing… pjs
~
I am thinking… that I’m overwhelmed. I know I need to slow down and I know that if I don’t on my own accord, God will force me. I’m thinking that I need more quiet time with God and yet I feel like I’m being pulled in 5 different directions at once … i’m considering letting one of those things go but am worried about what else that will mean for my family.
~
I am going… to work tomorrow, apparently.
~
I am reading… Nickel and Dimed for book club and Crazy love
~
I am hoping… that God will cover me in patience and peace and these darling children will go to sleep soon so mommy can have some non-crying/whiny moments before she goes nutty nuts.
~
I am hearing… a baby fussing and screeching because she’s mad and Lala talking to herself as she pretends to give Steven and i shots…repeatedly.
~
Around the house… it’s surprisingly clean. Always more to do, but for once not one of the things stressing me out.
~
One of my favorite things… watching shows with my husband on abc.com and fox. Oh…and $1 dishtowels because ours were ready to be replaced and really ….oily. Ew.
~
A few plans for the rest of the week: work and a few major decisions to be made.

Welcome back!

I can ease your load on one of those: homeschooling. There is no need to rush Lala’s education. So many things are developmental, so introduction to basics is fine, but don’t try to squeeze too much in. Children at her age learn by playing. So, give her fun things to do, and leave it at that. A curriculum at her age? Completely unnecessary, and as you are finding, can lead to burn-out. Give her craft supplies, then let her do her thing. Finger paint. Read to her. Run around outside and look at leaves and birds. That’s all the education a little kid needs.
Praying for all your needs, dear one.
