I had a wonderfully productive week last week, with a field-trip, several trips to town to drop off and pick up my husband at the bus (he had two trips last week), much cleaning and organizing around the house--doing things that don't have to be done every day, as well as doing our lessons. I even had a migraine one day and finished up morning school while lying on the couch.  It was a great week for getting things done.

This week has not started out the same at all.  In fact I think my brain is mush.  I can't think straight and can't seem to accomplish anything.  I don't feel like cooking tonight (a common complaint, unfortunately), so we are having frozen Scottish meat pies and beans--on the menu for this week, just not for tonight.  We've done lessons both Monday and today, and I did do all the laundry yesterday, so I must be getting something done.  It just doesn't feel like much, and my energy level has bottomed out. 

Since tonight's dinner is now on the menu for tomorrow at noon, I am contemplating letting the children have an easy morning, and trying to use the time to recharge my own batteries.  Then Belle can help me make lunch--for Home Ec.

I just answered the timer in the kitchen and was confronted with an open dishwasher partially filled with dirty dishes--evidence of today's distraction.  I started to fill it and then ended up doing something else--rabbit trails.  I know I'm not the only one who ever does this.  `Fess up folks!
