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…”

Cemetery Girls

A few days before things got really crazy with total home lock down style quarantine, my sister and I went grave walking. This is our story…(dramatic duh duh!) I didn’t realize that going to cemeteries for family fun wasn’t a normal thing to do until I was older. Almost thirty really. I switched my minorContinue reading “Cemetery Girls”

Quarantine Day…What Day Is It?

If I wasn’t The Hermitess before, I definitely am now. I chose the name for the blog because I felt that it fit me, a woman who was choosing to work at home in the middle of the woods, and trying to deal with extreme anxiety that made it really difficult to be around otherContinue reading “Quarantine Day…What Day Is It?”

Quarantine: Week 3 (Three hundred and forty five)

It’s nearly midnight and I’m finally able to write. The past few nights I’ve spent my usual writing time trying to plan out the next days educational adventures for double trouble (my two kids). I look for things that they can do while waiting to switch out on the computer and make sure that myContinue reading “Quarantine: Week 3 (Three hundred and forty five)”

A Hermitess’ Guide To Social Distancing

It’s been a little over a week now since all of this COVID-19 stuff got downright scary. Since social distancing become a part of the common vernacular. It seems like months. Damn. I mean it’s always been serious, but we went from an action movie where that one single action hero has to stop theContinue reading “A Hermitess’ Guide To Social Distancing”

Goodbye Public School

I sent in the letter of intent to completely home school my daughter today. It had been sitting in my Google docs for a while now. I’d gone back and forth on the idea and then I thought that we would maybe start next year, if my daughters grades hadn’t improved. Then COVID-19 hit andContinue reading “Goodbye Public School”

Junk Builds: How to Half-A$$ a Greenhouse In a Day

My husband has become quite the connoisseur of junk over the past few years. I know that he has always been the type to make something out of nothing, I’ve seen his past work in pictures, but the past few years he’s started to outdo himself. Creating something from things he finds on the sideContinue reading “Junk Builds: How to Half-A$$ a Greenhouse In a Day”

March Madness

I started to post a rant I’ve been working on, explaining all the reasons why I haven’t been blogging. Then I re-edited it and started to go off on another rant about how tired I am of having to excuse my existence or prove my worth in dollar signs while actually going on and onContinue reading “March Madness”
