keeping grounded
pyxiewytch68
Hey all,
It was great to meet so many people at the conference. I was so
pumped and energized by it!!!
Ren and anyone else effected by hurricanes you are in our thoughts
and I'll go over Kelly's post again and see what we can do to help.
Ok...I think I need some moral support...I totally believe in what
I'm doing, but I think today I'm having a bad day...getting up at 6AM
to help my 11 yo get to school (his choice)...then being with the 20
month old all day who is very high energy and always on the go,
discovering and studying bugs, digging in sand and mud, going for
walks 10 AM - 10 PM NO NAP and having time to read 2 chapters of
Series of Unfortunate Events, play games, discuss games, getting
everyone to swim practice/lessons, and honoring my 8 yo sleep pattern
of being up late and sleeping late,ETC...I'm sure you all do the
same :)
It's just today I felt so crabby and out of control...I want to honor
each of my childrens choices and uniqueness, but I'm feeling
overwhelmed...no time for me to take a breather...with three kids
there is always (and always will be) someone who needs or wants
something from Dawn to the witching hour
I know they will only be young and little for a short time (I am
realizing this acutely as my "baby" turns 12 next month) and I do
feel very blessed that at present they are all healthy and I love
spending time with them...
guess I'm just feeling guilty for being crabby today...how do all of
you wonderful people cope daily :)
As I said I guess I just need some support.
Thanks you Unschooling Goddesses of Divine Wisdom ~`.*
