A collection of our ordinary days, recorded every week. At the end of the year, I’ll publish them into a keepsake to treasure.
Around here, I have been:
feeling like I’m behind and doing a lack-luster job at everything. Every once in a while, I seem to have an off week where I am just trying to keep afloat and that definitely describes me right now. I wrote Jon Acuff’s quote “Some beats None” big on the chalkboard to remind myself that some progress is better than nothing: some exercise before TJ cries is better than none. Some laundry, even though I still have yet to put it away, is better than none. Some BWF work, even though my to-do list is still a mile long, is better than not starting at all. Some beats none.
making baked oatmeal for breakfast. I thought I would be the only one who liked it, but the kids each had seconds!
laughing about J’s attempt to combine his love of compliments with new vocabulary: “Mamma, you are so….predictable!”
exercising with Shaun T and Insanity again. I’m not following the plan, but adding the workouts in between runs. It feels good to push myself to the max, but I have a long way to go!
reading Orphan Train and should hopefully finish by this weekend. It’s such a moving story.
homeschool notes:
- It was K week in Kindergarten. We made kites.
- M has been flying through his math lessons. He is catching onto multiplication quickly; he knows the rules for 0, 1, 10 and 5 so far.
