Pity Party or envious of Super Moms
Do you ever have one of those days when you think you have most of it together only to find out that you've forgotten something? I don't know how people do everything that they need to do. Am I totally disorganized or are they Super Moms (and Dads)? Some days I feel as if I've gotten everything accomplished only to find out later that I forgot to pay a bill, take the dog to the vet, pick up my contacts, etc. I'll admit I'm not the most organized person but I know some people who are worse than I am and yet it doesn't seem to affect them the way it does me. Then I see others that seem to totally have it all together. A clean house, laundry all washed, folded. and put away, supper on the table, children homeschooled, bills all paid, and they have time for extras. How do they do it? I guess some days I feel overwhelmed and today happens to be one of those days.
On the homeschool front we added two more subjects this week. So now we're doing Math, Handwriting, and Language. School was one of the good things today. It got off to a little rocky start with the 6 year old, but I'm finding that right now most things with her are pretty emotional. The 8 and 4 year old did a great job. The 4 year old actually keeps asking for more "school work" to do. It's fun to see him enjoying school so much.
Well, I need to go, so until next time.

As for clean houses, come visit ours sometime. That would certainly make you feel better about yours! I can tell you what my grandmother told my mother once (who had five kids). My mother was worried during her mother's visit about the house being messy and dirty, etc. Grandma told her that your kids will never remember how clean or messy your house was when they were growing up. Instead, they will remember the time you spent with them, the love you showered on them. My mother took that advice and it turns out my grandmother was right! My brothers and sisters remember very clearly the books my mother read to us, the times she had four kids in her lap feeding them grapefruit, the sacrifices she willingly made for each of us, and the unconditional love she always displayed. We loved her dearly and could care less whether we grew up in a messy house or not, even if we could remember that sort of thing.
By the way, I happened to see your last post the same day you wrote it. I started a comment for it, but busy-ness kept me from completing that comment so I finally let it go. May still comment on that post, though. It was a good one.
