I've been feeling very tired the last few day's. Thank God that His mercies are new every morning and you get that natural break in between and the opportunity to start again,I really need that.
As the title says I feel like I've been dragging myself through thick oozy mud.The weekend was filled with busyness and sorting through some emotionally draining issues as a family.
This week I feel wiped. My Gran is really ill and looked after by my Mum it is very demanding and upsetting,I try to give her support but sometimes I know there is just not enough of me to go around after the children have drained me!
Yesterday was a fantastic day though,spent with an old friend who I hope I will keep forever! The house was very full and rourkusly noisy,eight boys and a girl!! We had a really nice lunch went to the park and drank lots of tea.Just what I needed.
And there is a light at the end of the tunnel,some friends of ours have opened a home school study centre nearby. The boys are going to go there for a few hours a week to give us all a break.They don't have any thing much activity wise at the moment, apart from eldests theatre group,so I think it will do them good to spend some time away from the house. They are 9 and very nearly 11 and I feel it's the right time for us.
Life does feel a little strained at times,I'd appreciate prayer
As far as the learning goes this week we are plodding on nicely with our study of the book of Isaiah,Carol singing,a bit of Drama (the pretend kind!!),our usual Maths and reading through the Nutcracker,a bit of Design Tech and more creative writing.Their time at the Study Centre will be spent doing the work I give them and some Art provided by a Teacher.
Whilst the boys are out I'm going to town with the littlies,looking forward to that.
Have a Blessed week.xxxxxxxxxxxxx |
