Is it actually solely Wednesday?
I needed to begin this put up “it’s been a doozy of every week” after which I noticed it’s Wednesday morning. Ha! Some weeks are like that, aren’t they? We kicked issues off with the dreaded abdomen bug for a child. Humorous although, normally simply studying about somebody coping with this on-line makes my very own tummy flip with worry, however I felt very calm about this one for some cause. It’s like I simply resigned myself to actuality, cancelled the required commitments, and targeted on holding again hair, wiping down surfaces, conserving laundry going, and dosing the remainder of us with 100% grape juice and activated charcoal. I do know with how this stuff can go and that we aren’t out of the woods for some time, however I’m hopeful.
To not go on a tangent, however I additionally utilized one thing newish to my at-home pharmacy, homeopathy. My neighbor is educated on the topic and whereas I sit up for taking the category she teaches, I did buy the homeopathy equipment she really useful and have been studying about it by studying the insert (tremendous useful), researching, and asking her questions.
I’ve used homeopathy earlier than with Finley at her vet’s steerage, however by no means with my very own children as a result of I used to be intimidated. And ignorant. Actually, I exploit to interchangeably use the phrases pure treatment and homeopathy and searching again, I’m like- whoops! However, stay and study, and share, proper? Anyway, I’ve cause to imagine homeopathy helped me deal with my sick youngster and now I’m much more intrigued. I’m a observe taker when my children are sick, writing down particulars corresponding to timing of incidents, temperatures at given instances, dosing of no matter I’m giving them, and so forth, and Nux Vomica from the equipment gave the impression to be the magic ticket for us this time.
On Monday I had enjoyable, switched up lesson plans set for MLK and the inauguration and for sure, these didn’t occur. Nonetheless we did tune in and had some nice conversations. We did the Collect Spherical Authorities Unit final yr to have a base understanding of how our authorities is structured, however watching it motion is all the time extra fascinating, proper? Particularly after we contact on the matters of secret service and the soccer with nuclear codes!
We watched the primary half of the school soccer Nationwide Championship, however being awake since 1:00 AM the evening earlier than gained out and we referred to as it an evening early. For Georgia I’d have discovered a technique to energy by means of, however alas, it wasn’t meant to be this yr. Congrats to Ohio State!
Yesterday was David’s birthday, however he was touring all day. He took off by 5:15 AM which gave us the day to partake in our custom of creating his birthday cake (this tres leches was his request once more as a result of it’s a household favourite), end up his playing cards, and wrap his present. In our household you get to request your dinner and dessert of alternative, and David’s is normally the same- steak fajitas!
It was a comfortable, cloudy day and even snowed within the late afternoon. It was lovely to look at come down whereas inside we watched Anne with an E and continued to principally relaxation and get better.

Final random considered the day. I actually didn’t count on shifting (are you bored with me speaking about it? I really feel like I speak about it on a regular basis) to be a two yr course of, nevertheless it certain feels that manner. Final yr was all of the logistics of constructing and bodily shifting. This yr is extra about determining our new routines and rhythms, placing the home collectively, and discovering all our new suppliers (dentists, piano academics, and so forth). I’m giving myself grace with all of it and have the motto of simply preserve chipping away little by little and we’ll get all of it discovered.
On that observe, I’ve my first haircut shortly scheduled and I’m very excited. Since I ended dying my hair it’s grown out (grays and all) to only beneath my chin. I gained’t lower my hair that brief, however I’m excited to take off an inch or two and get nearer to have my hair being 100% au pure with out the dyed ends nonetheless hanging on.
OK, that’s all I’ve for now. Thanks for stopping by and chatting. I hope your week had a greater begin than mine 😉
