Beyond exhausted!!

well, its Sunday night again. We havent "officially" done school for 2 weeks. we had company (my dad) for a week, and i decided to take a break so we can spend time wiht him because we dont get that very often and im not sure how much we'll get in the near future. then, we had a new grand baby, and ever since then, the kids, one by one, have been battling strep throat! the last 2 have it right now. poor things, im so tired that i have no strength left to care for them. they come and say their sick and all i can say is "aww im sorry baby"
i feel like the world is spinning around me so fast that i cant breathe, much less do anything. i feel as though ive failed at every thing and the more i try the worse it gets. this is not a good way to start a new week. i want to be energized. i want to be ready. yet all i can do is sit.
i do have a good weeks worth of lesson plans done, of course, i will have to call the dr when i get up so who knows when we'll get to it, but hopefully it goes well.
we have decided to enroll our oldest in an online charter school. im hoping it works out because i think he is really needing some outside help. hes doing ok, i just cant seem to motivate him or keep him focused. but it seems he can for others, like his co op classes hes taking and absolutely loving. if he does well with it, we may sign our next to oldest up for it as well. that should take some stress off me. im anxious to see how it will work out. it will be a few weeks probly before he is completely enrolled.
this week im excited because we are going to start a unit on states. we will do 2 states a week. we will learn about them, where they are, what the shape is, state flag, bird, animal, capital, all that. and compare the 2 that we learn and then compare them to our own state. i think it will be interesting.
we will also be starting our 2nd week of spanish. the kids are loving spanish, they are always asking if we can do it first, lol. its cute. ive caught them trying to teach the 2 year old as well.
were all anxious to get to see our precious grandson again. not sure when we will get to see him, but just cant wait!!
well ive got more to say but  it would probly border complaining, so instead i think ill just go to bed. hope everyone has a great week. i am going try. this is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it, right? it doesnt say juts when things are good. it just says rejoice. so thats what im gonna try and do :)  if you happent ot hink of it and would like to, i would appreciate prayers. comments would be cool too :)

I hope that works out well for your oldest; I know the feeling about someone else motiviating them. I hope you're feeling better as the week gets started. BTW, that was me who commented & congratulated you on your grandson (I forgot to log in!). Blessings, Michele
