The kids being home is adjustment. I used to have the morning to do computer work/blog and then do all house work in afternoon before family got home. All that has gone out the window and now it's time to do a NEW PLAN! Because what I'm doing now is not working.
This month I think I fell into a bit of depression. Not just one reason but a lot of things happening that I wasn't prepared for that threw me off my game. I slept more and found myself watching TV a lot. When I say a lot I mean I watched the entire show of LOST (120 episodes- 45 minutes each) in 3 weeks. Not good!
My 10 yr old son is becoming a moody talking back and rolling his eyes kind of kid that wants to do NOTHING around the house. Tell him to do something is more work than just doing it myself these days. When he is asked to something we get the "I'll do it later" or "Why" and when I tell him to do it then the crying, throwing stuff, and the talking under his breath begins. Oh my- this kid has given me more headaches lately. I even thought about buying some wine the other night just to be able to calm my nerves. The other day he lied about something so silly and I knew he was lying that it irritated me so bad I basically just zoned out for hours.
But what hit me the hardest this month was the school that we have been at since my 10 yr old was in Kindergarten is closing. I know I pulled my kids out due to bullying but still felt like I failed this school in some way. I was a very active parent and loved the teachers/staff so much. Now everyone has to find new places to put their kids and new jobs. Just wrong. Closing the school wasn't the answer, helping it thrive would have been the answer but the agency head of the school didn't want to do that.
This is our last week of home school and it's time for Summer Vacation. Maybe the sun and free time will make me feel better. Plus my mom is coming in a couple weeks and that will be FUN!
