Homeschooling in Illinois

Pregnancy + Spring =

What do you get when you have a pregnant lady in the spring? A really clean house.... nope, that's not it. A lot of half finished projects. Mixing the nesting instinct and the spring cleaning urges are not good. I just want to do more, and then get exhausted, and then think of something else to do, and then get exhausted.... and so on. Add four kids in the mix who are "helping" and then you get a frustrated pregnant spring cleaning momma who can't get things done fast enough. Oh well. I still have plenty of time. Unfortunately. 4 weeks till I'm due, and another 1 and a half until my doc tortures me and hooks me up to pitocin. Man, I hope I go into labor myself this time. Almost every evening I have contractions. They start painless and sometimes they get painful. Every time I walk into a store, I have a contraction. Not sure why it's only walking into a store.... I so hope this is a good sign.

Man, I feel the EXACT same stinking way about being on a crazy "cleaning and organizing mission", having a whole bunch of half started projects, and feeling exhausted way too fast...I will be praying so hard for you not to have any pitocin, my dear sister... Plese, Lord, PLEASE have mercy!!!!

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 1/2 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L 1, and a new little blessing due Jan 31. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
