I'm tired today. One of those days where I woke up just not in the mood or mindset to do any of the things I have to do. It's rainy and I'm weary. Mason is asleep right now, and so is Dakota. So is Layla. And it's actually quiet in here.
Our day always looks like this:
Except way less organized and neat. With a baby screaming just because he likes to hear his own voice. And baby poop. And baby food. A lot of baby food it seems like. And me, looking rough most of the time. With drool spots on my shirt and my hair pulled out of my ponytail or bun because the baby likes to attack. With everyone wanting lunch or breakfast and a drink and a diaper and a snack and a bottle and clean clothes and attention. Sigh...
I don't regret my decision to home school Dakota, but some days, really most days, it's a lot. It's a full time job to watch Mason almost 12 hours a day, let alone be a teacher of sorts in between. Ohh the things we do for our children. And of course there's the second guessing every decision I make. Is this the right thing, the right time, enough, too much. But it's one day at a time like everything else. This has been a crazy month for us. Savanna is on a work assignment. She's the supervisor at the Maryville post office for 8 weeks and it's long hours and weekends. That's been a total change for us and a lot to get used to. Dakota is home with me all day every day, as is Mason. I have basically very little time to myself. So when I woke up today, I decided to let them sleep. I needed a quiet minute. There's the rest of the day for school work and silly songs and meals.
I am on cup # 2 right now. Thank goodness for coffee.
