It’s the end of the fourth week of homeschool. I can say with 100% certainty that it was much harder than I thought it would be.

Is It Over Yet?
I am exhausted. Yet, I feel like I’m getting nothing done. Today I realized that I couldn’t remember the last time I watered the plants. I’ve been keeping up with it really well up until a few weeks ago. Then I discovered my new weird ass succulent that looked like a dinosaur mouth and hadContinue reading “Is It Over Yet?”
Garden Growth
I’ve really fallen in love with gardening this year. It has truly been my escape through all this craziness. I love walking into the garden to see the hummingbirds and butterflies fluttering around the patch of zinnias and sunflowers. I love plucking fresh okra, cucumbers, tomatoes and squash off the vine. I’m excited to seeContinue reading “Garden Growth”
Learning In The Time of Corona
The first day of school is August 17th. I told the kids this morning and it was met with groans and sighs. And more groans. Some of them mine. So on August 17th we’ll wake up and the kids will actually get out of bed before 9 am and they’ll sit at the kitchen table.Continue reading “Learning In The Time of Corona”
Crazy Covid Coaster
I Know, I haven’t written in a long time. Well I have written but I haven’t published it. Mostly because everything has been a rant or a ramble. I think too much of what I’ve read lately has been of that same anxious/afraid/angry thread and I don’t want to follow that crowd. My anxiety wasContinue reading “Crazy Covid Coaster”
Who’s Afraid of The Big Bad Witch?
Talking about religion when that religion isn’t christianity in the Bible Belt is not the best of ideas. I’ve lied about it, well been completely evasive, on more than one occasion. I honestly don’t consider myself to be religious, maybe spiritual is more the word for what I feel (?). Either way it is notContinue reading “Who’s Afraid of The Big Bad Witch?”
Garden Thoughts…
I’m up late trying to plan out my garden for the year. I’ve already planted a small salad garden in an old kiddie pool, and a cooler weather garden in a pallet raised bed (peas, onions, carrots, radishes, and cabbage). I’m also trying to test my luck with growing potatoes in laundry baskets as wellContinue reading “Garden Thoughts…”
School Survey
My son is still in Public School. He’s been doing pretty good at his work. As far as I know. I make sure that he does it but I’m sorry, I’m not checking it. Homeschooling my daughter fully, takes up most of my time. I’m coming up with her lessons and checking her work asContinue reading “School Survey”
Late Bloomer
I am a late bloomer. Yes, I had kids when I was pretty young, and I’ve always been mature for my age, but I’m also a hesitant dreamer. I take years to make decisions. I have a hard time opening up to others and it’s taken me a really long time to feel comfortable inContinue reading “Late Bloomer”
The Never-ending Quarantine Story…
I have to check at least three or four times a day what day it is. Is it Monday? Is it Friday? Who knows or even cares anymore? Time seems to have become non-existent. Sometimes it’s as if Mother Nature is finally disciplining her children. “Slow the F**k down.” she seems to say. I amContinue reading “The Never-ending Quarantine Story…”
