Anyhow, following the rules, here are 7 things about me, and links to blogs I really enjoy. For the blog links, I am going to cheat, and say: Just look at my sidebar of blogs I read. All are by great mamas with beautiful blogs!
So now, 7 Things About Me:
1. I am really good at trying to overload myself. I am in college 3/4 time, preparing for a wetlands docent training program, teaching myself Algebra II, working outside the home part-time, and educating my children. Phew! Oh, and writing/illustrating a children's book as my senior project.
2. I am torn between my classical homeschooling self and my unschooling self. For example, I worry some days that Fairy is not reading, and not only that, but I think she may have developmental delays in this area. Other days I am able to step back and tell myself she will learn it when she is ready. I try not to let any of this emotional bouncing back and forth get through to her though!
3. I have never had a Twinkie, nor do I plan to.
4. My biggest wish is that I could be a stay-at-home mom. Not possible right now, but maybe someday after M goes back to school this fall! BTW, in case you are curious, he's going to be doing a certificate in Natural Resource Management, and, maybe at the same time, hopefully work as a supervisor for a local conservation corps while working toward becoming a park ranger. Now that will be cool! Right now he is a warehouse manager, and that just isn't where he sees himself in the long haul.
5. I am a terrible housekeeper. I am very, very bad at actually folding laundry and putting it away. There are arts-&-crafts things all over my house, and books, and then some more books, and no matter how many dishes I do, there always seem to be more lurking about. I try to be organized, but I'm just not there yet.
6. I love old cartoons, like Tom & Jerry, Bugs Bunny, etc. Thankfully my kids love them too. Right now, Elf is on a big "Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines" kick. The Perils of Penelope Pitstop are good too.
7. I have managed to avoid the whole birthday party rigamarole until now. Suddenly my children are demanding birthday parties, which reminds me... I need to get invitations out!
I am glad you finally found it !! Your Welcome.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about dishes never ending, and I gave the job of laundry to my husband, as the kids play outside while he does them.
I have struggled daily for 22 years on how to educate my children, and will for the next 16 I am sure. It is a never ending battle, making sure I an doing enough, that they are getting it, that we are also enjoying it.
