I keep looking out the window...
I look for his car...
Hoping he will pull in...
I love these little ones at my feet, but today...today, I feel crazy.
And I just want to see his car pull in.
It has been a long transition back into the school year. With three kiddos needing lessons, a mobile baby, and the endless amounts of housework that need to be accomplished I feel tense and stressed.
I am not the poster child for homeschooling this year. I hate it. Down right hate it. I may or may not have thought about calling the school and enrolling the kids. I want to love it. I want to enjoy having them here. But where, HOW?, do I find balance?? How do I balance mom/teacher? Or maid/teacher? Or chef/teacher? And fit it all into the day?
The days are long and I know, I hope, that in a few years I won't regret these days. I'll just keep plugging away. I am learning how to rely on God. To look to Him for strength to get through the day.
Just keep swimming....

OH my, did I write that article?? And I only have one in homeschool with two others running around (okay, so I am doing preK with the 2nd one). Hugs to you and hopefully both of our years will get better. We CAN do this. God is our strength. Just like the Hope for the Weary Mom book it is comforting to know that we are not alone in this journey (although I have all girls, not boys).
