1. We have been so busy with getting everything ready for homeschool. We made the decision to return to homeschooling was so spontaneous and unexpected that I had absolutely nothing prepared. As soon as we made the final decision to jump in and get started the following week I was very busy trying to pull everything together.
I have such a peace about our new life choice and my new vocation. It feels like I am home again after being away on vacation for so long. I did a beautiful Novena for Homeschooling Mothers to start off our first week and I have to say.... why did I not do this before? The amount of patience and Grace that I have received is beyond I could have ever expected. I thank God for this over and over again throughout the day. Words cannot expressed the weight of this precious gift of grace.
2. I got Mastitis. And when I say I got Mastitis...I got it bad. I have had it before with Little Optimus but this one was way worse. And not to mention it really hit me out of nowhere. Or maybe I was just in denial. When I first starting getting sore I started texting a friend about it. Being more experienced than I am, she immediately starting referring to Mastitis. For those of you who don't know what it is, just click here. When she started texting me about it I was in denial and I went out grocery shopping... then.. as an hour or two went by I felt 1000x worse. When I got home I had a very bad case of the chills and a 104 degree fever. Have any of you tried cabbage leaves? That was a tip she gave me. And it worked wonderfully. I also called the doctor in my despair and he ordered me a prescription. Note to all: finish your medication when you are given it. Its a medication that you have to take 4 times a day and time it in between meals. Not very good for me. The day I started feeling better I lacked on my medication taking...meaning I skipped a whole day. Needles to say, I was feeling very crummy all over again the very next day. I finally finished it all and I am feeling great. Thank God.
3. My dryer broke! It got fixed.. Then it broke again. As crazy as it sounds I was sort of happy about it. Since we've moved here I've wanted a line outside to hang laundry. I have always loved the idea of letting your clothes dry in the natural air and breeze. So while we were waiting for a replacement part the second time, Jay finally put one up for me! I was so excited and he immediately captured a picture of me jumping up to grab the highest point of the line. I won't be posting that picture here. BUT, here is one of my very first dry...
What I've been reading....
I love Kimberly Hahn and so far this has been a very nice treat to read.
