Home Sweet Simple Home
Let's call it a day
Whew!What a day it has been.
Have you ever had a day where it seems like you are constantly in the middle of doing something, constantly being interrupted and starting something else without ever first finishing what you started first?!
That’s me today.
I don’t feel like I’ve crossed much off my To Do list and yet I haven’t had a chance to sit and catch my breath all day.
Where did the day go? What did I accomplish?
I am already having to revise the coming homeschool schedule due to the unique opportunity Maiden has to go on a short trip with her Grampa and Gramma. So that is taking up time doing something that I already thought was done- which leads to that sense of not accomplishing much. But I am reminded that homeschooling is about the unique opportunities and the flexible scheduling. I am trying, really trying, to be more flexible and more open to what each day brings.
I was asked about those yummy blueberry cheesecake muffins. Dear readers, I wish I had a recipe to share with you- those yummy muffins are out of a package. Gasp! I knew I would be very short on time with the camping trip and softball tournament back to back so I picked up this yummy mix at the grocery store for 88 cents (just add milk and done in 12 minutes). One package made us 9 muffins. We didn’t all eat muffins on Saturday morning so we had 4 muffins left over for this morning. And so this morning we enjoyed blueberry cheesecake muffins with sliced bananas and grapes (leftover from Saturday’s picnic)- that is the girls and I did- Mr. Conductor had cereal (his breakfast obsession).
The rain has gone and it is not as cool as I had hoped- that August muggy-ness is upon us. But the garden will not need watering tonight.
I look out there right now and see that I need to trim the flowers off the oregano and apple mint. The bees are having quite the party in my apple mint today. Mr. Steady has offered to weed-wack the thyme as it is looking a bit scraggly as the blooms die and is much much too big an area for me to want to clip with pruning shears. And so I will take him up on his offer.
My bible study for tomorrow has been postponed because our schedules are all so full and we (children included) are feeling a bit tired and run down/wrung-out. I’ll see everyone at VBS and yes, I’ll miss having the study this week but I’m thankful I don’t have to juggle that in my schedule.

11:17 PM, 2008-Aug-5 .. Posted by Kate @happytobeathome.netI definitely feel your pain. I have experienced this type of day so often lately that it's beginning to feel more like the norm than the exception. I can't wait until we start back up with schooling so that we're all on our normal schedules again!

The Wagner Clan
My Husband (DH)-Mr. Steady
My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.
DD11- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.
DD8- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added spice of flavor to our family.
DS4- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He likes to think he's in charge and often is! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
