Here I am, once again, staring at the computer screen remembering all the things I wanted to blog. There are just so many things to write about. Do I start with the amazing purchase of my brand new camera or the pile of dishes I took a picture of? There is constant cleaning, organizing, balancing, and eating going on. I've gone through and organized 3 homeschool/game shelves today when I should have been balancing, budgeting, and making a list. They were driving me nuts. We couldn't find our stuff or figure out where to put our stuff and we were dangerously close to blocking a walkway. Its like the shelves got fat and their rolls were hanging over into our walking space. So, I fixed it...well, mostly. Now I'm left with dust bunnies and piles of paper and other things that don't quite belong. I recently was dazzle by my favorite homeschool suppliers and made a few orders. It was a planned dazzling, you could say. With Sage having frequent fits and long moments of uncooperativeness I realized I needed to simplify some stuff. I was seeing weaknesses in Dusty and Christopher that I couldn't remedy without the help of something purchased. I also realized that Christopher, who should be in the 6th grade, cannot read or write cursive. Now I know that isn't the most important thing in the world, but it is important to me. I ordered math workbooks only because using Ray's Arithmetic relies so much on oral work that the kids were not doing math and while they love playing with the MUS blocks I was having a hard time with this also. Oh, I don't know...I'm feeling a bit inadequate. I'm not sure that I can educate my children. I'm hoping that it will all turn out in the end.

On a brighter note: I've been asked to be the photographer for 2 weddings. One in April and the other in June. (Christopher isn't happy about the June one because its on his birthday and we were at wedding the day after last year's birthday, too. We were planning on going to this wedding anyway!) Also, I've been asked to do a set of senior pictures the day after the April 5th wedding. I'm nervous about the weddings, but feel good about the senior pics since I did a set last year with my little point and shoot digital camera.

Okay, I hear dishes, laundry, and piles of stuff calling me. Oh, and Jeopardy is on.
