That's what I nearly called this blog.  Two reasons: a) I was giving myself something else to do when sometimes I can't get done what I've already got on my plate and b) while I'm writing this, there is always something else to do.  I do want to keep a blog. But I don't want it to take up much of my life at the moment. I want to make sure my priorities don't get out of whack.  So if I'm silent for a while, hopefully I'm being a good girl and living life with my family.

In the last few days this has meant:

• continuing to try and finish off the year's lessons, especially reading and narrating through the books we are doing atm;
• going to a homeschool sports afternoon so the boys can play soccer and I can talk to my lovely friends;
• sorting through books all Saturday so that I can box some up that we will be using in future years and thereby save some room on the shelves.  Our back storage room is going to become a study once our new baby (due Jan) needs our study as a bedroom. This means I now have piles of books designated to particular Ambleside years. Now I know how many books I can safely add in. It will still be hard to limit them. Sigh!
• cleaning up my desk and its surrounds. Yeah! Now I can think. I still have lots of this cleaning left to do pre-baby;
• watching videos with my family;
• going to Church yesterday but missing most of it with a sinus headache that laid me out pretty much for the rest of the day.

And hopefully today it will mean working through a list of housework-y chores and trying not to get distracted by all the projects I could give myself.  I've promised myself projects for some of the rest of the week.
