Learning how to balance a budding home business, homeschooling, bible studies, church, 4 little bunnies, 4 children and a home is quite challenging. I took some time off, and have been able to catch my breath before jumping back into things.
School has been going ok. This week Adam took Monday off so he could take me to a dr. appointment (a fertility dr! I gotta update everyone on that too) When the kids have a day when Daddy stays home, for some reason everything falls apart the next day. Tuesday's school was a complete disaster. Keeping the kids on task was like trying to hold back the tide. It was impossible. They all have so much energy when they are playing, but as soon as I sit them down to write, all I hear is "I am tired" as they lay their heads down on the table, flinging the pencils onto the floor once again. What am I to do.
Today went a little better. We got math, Bible, and some reading done. Hopefully tomorrow I can throw in some grammar, copywork, and maybe a history or science lesson. But I am not holding my breath.
The weather here in Oregon the last couple of days has been beautiful. The weather has been so crazy, it's nice to have a few solid sunny days. I can hardly keep the kids in the house on days like that. Which is ok right? Charlotte Mason puts alot of emphasis on the importance of being outdoors. So I am just doing what she recommends. 
I am excited to announce that I will be having my own website for the Mission Field Designs. Doing all of this work from a blog is getting harder and harder to do. I will most likely be moving my blog over as well. We will see when I get to that point. I really want to have a place where people can come and if they see something they like, they can just have it. I will keep everything available on a donation basis.
Now about my dr appointment, for those of you who have been following our fertility journey since the vasreversal in January 2007. Everything on my hubby's side is perfect. We are now thinking that the problem could be on my side. So on the 14th of this month I am going in for an HSG test. I am a bit nervous about it, and am afraid it's gonna hurt, but it will be a good step forward to figuring out why we haven't concieved yet. I am hoping that I will be able to come back in a couple of months to show off a picture of a positive pregnancy test! Believe me. My blog will be one of the first places I share that good news. |
