Oh Happy Day - ITS FRIDAY!

Here I sit, coffee cup right next to me. I'm sure glad its Friday.

You know, moving is stressful. I have a cold sore on my lip to prove it. What timing. Tonight, my husband and I are going out for dinner to celebrate our 14th anniversary and I have this incredible sore on my bottom lip! Yikes! I think I'll practice the "thinker pose", and maybe he'll never even notice. Thankfully, cold sores are not a common occurence for me. I usually get one only during high stress periods.



It takes so long to feel "at home" after you move. We have furniture placed throughout the house, but no pictures on the walls yet. I've attempted it several times only to put them back in a pile because:
1. I'm not in the mood
2. they don't look right in this house
3. Just don't care about it yet (is that the same thing as #1?)
Hey, white walls can be soothing and undistracting.

I'm amazed at the emotions I have experienced since we moved here. Especially in regards to homeschooling. I have had days where I was totally convinced that homeschooling is absolutely, undeniably the best thing we have ever done or ever could do. No one could persuade me that my children should be in school. Then, I've had the other extreme, where I'm totally unsure of myself and wonder why in the world they aren't in school. I sometimes have no desire to be in charge of their education and wonder if we are really accomplishing anything here. But these are fleeting doubts that I can shoot down pretty quick. It just annoys me that I can be so wishy-washy. Since we moved, it sometimes feels like I just started homeschooling last month. Are these typical first year jitters? I thought it would be easier to transition if we were homeschooling, than if they had to switch schools in the middle of the year. No doubt, it has been loads easier for the BOYS, just not easier for ME!!

My lack of creativity has also been startling. I just don't feel like doing anything exciting or different right now. My blog definitely reflects it. Its just there.

I wish Spring were here. I'd love to see some budding trees, green grass, and robins in my front yard. And aren't you tired of being cold? It seems like its been winter for years now.

Well, I better go dab some herbal remedy on my lip and pray for a quick cure. Hopefully within the next few hours!!

It's Friday -
So Rejoice!
