No exercise for me recently. I feel disgusting and feel like I look disgusting. My female body has not been very kind over the last few days. As I was sitting here at the computer, I inhaled 2 snack-size bags of Cheetos and ate an ice cream cone. It’s almost midnight, but I have no regrets. Those were some really good chips and chocolate! Sometimes, I need that fix before I kick my rear back to the gym. Not to mention, my hair is so dirty and greasy-looking that it’s really embarrassing to be seen out in public. No “me time” right now.
I’m in an academic marathon for days on end it seems. I know we’ll be having trips and such ahead, so I’m pushing hard with our home studies. Four kids in four different grades-I start to look bug-eyed after a while. In the midst of my instruction, I’m encouraging my oldest to become an independent learner. That can be a challenging goal for him at times. Sometimes, I feel like beating my head against the wall with what I have to repeat to him or when I find work that was half-accomplished. But, I refuse to give up on this goal. Independent learning is an essential life skill to have.
Off to prep..no rest for the weary, and the tooth fairy needs to show up again! Two teeth in two days.
