I
felt like I started off November running from this side of town to the
next… I keep hearing things about
Thanksgiving and wonder why they are talking about it soooo early. Christmas shopping? That’s months away!! Mind
you Thanksgiving for us growing up was canning turkeys because they were on
sale and Christmas was not something we did… it becomes quite a shock several
times a week for me when I realize that this is November and Christmas is next
month… then I forget about it and go
back to my hunt for dust bunnies only to repeat the cycle when I come up for
air.
School this year is a joy… we started off like
a old truck in September (start,stop,start,stop,chug,chug,chug) to run out of
gas last month… Once all fall projects are completed we are back to the
grindstone… but that’s not to say we are still not learning. I am embracing
more and more “unschooling” and armed
with a pencil and notebook a outing to the grocery store can be a full day of
school… Math: why we can’t buy that cool looking toy and get milk, History:
last week we poked our sister with our grubby toes and she screamed and caused
the whole back seat to erupt into a boiling fight… lets do it again. Science:
The law of gravity and cans of green beans…
sarcasm aside each day has something to teach you… and as a parent it is
our job to teach them how to spot life’s teaching lessons.
I’ve learned how to control my tongue better….
And to keep from shoving my foot in my mouth.
Coming
to the conclusion that my opinions are just that… mine.. not very many ppl have the same outlook on
childbirth, child raising, child correction, fashion, and conduct of a woman….
I don’t need to push mine on others… it makes me mad when they do that to me
why would I think they would feel any better when I do the same???
The house became quieter yesterday…. My oldest is on a adventure to W.Va. staying with his Memaw for several weeks…
He better not come home any taller.
So
far I have only three and half rooms left to fall clean… there is nothing like
the feeling of throwing out bags and bags of “trash”. I love clutter as much as
the next hoarder but sometimes my clutter has to make sense…. And a cabinet that is overflowing with baking
pans and I only use half and after a trek to dig through the pots and pans to
find that cheesecake/cake pan you tend to want to fling something… so I have
left the kitchen for one of the last hurdles to get over.
And
while the Jr. hoarder is away I can tackle his closet that is filled with toys
and clothes that he refuses to throw away…..
With
Thanksgiving less than three days away I am sure there will be many more trips
across town and many more explosions in the back seat.
I feel like I have been hiding from blogging by washing dishes and attacking the laundry... I get these bright idea's of blogging at least 4 times a week... and then life happens and no time to sit down for more than ten minutes or the brain power to try and make my posts semi intelligent.
But I am gonna do better!!!
