More exciting than a diamond..
It was like Christmas this week for me because my husband bought a new leaf blower. Our old one died (my Mother’s Day present from 2 years ago at my request), so he came home with a brand new blower. I can’t wait to use it. I love working in the yard. Great physical activity as well as a way to release some stress.
Today went as usual with the exception of me having to stop teaching and go to the dentist to get a permanent crown put on. Unfortunately, the crown that was ordered did not fit me properly so now I have to go back (again) for yet another one. Complete waste of time-ugh. I hate inefficiency..
Tomorrow I’ll only have my daughter to teach since the boys will be on a field trip. How wonderful to only have one child to teach for the day!
Another exhausting day
Mother’s day tea, probability, fractions, operations, took lunch and a birthday present to my girlfriend, technology lessons, logic, critical thinking, poetry, art history, spelling with SWR, money, independent reading, matter, Paul Bunyan, team gymnastics, and more travel soccer try-outs. It’s been a full and somewhat stressful week. I may hibernate this weekend!
An honest stressor for me at this point in motherhood-not having a clear, defined path of interest for my oldest kid. I hear parents talk about their child wanting to do a certain “thing” from an early age. I don’t have that feedback from my son yet, and it bothers me. I know it shouldn’t, but admittedly, it does. Need quiet time to calm my anxiety..
