Let's do this

I figured that with almost 3 weeks of lockdown done that I should start being purposely about my activities and interactions. It's been a time of regrowing. Been digging back into all of the things that I used to do when it was just me and the girls at home all day long. I even pulled a mini office out into the living room to be able to see them all at all times. (They still try and get away with things when I'm not at least present in their space.)

This time around I don't have to come up with lesson plans because their teachers have it all covered. But, of course, that doesn't stop me. I'm holding back though because I don't want to drown them. But with the weather getting warmer (finally) here in Wisconsin, maybe we'll take some reading breaks out and about like we used to do. (I do miss my stroller still. *sniff*)

For myself, I decided to pull out The Artist's Way again. That's when I had a chuckle because my last post was about the book and that was almost a year ago. Yikes! Life sure has been busy here trying to make the most of every interaction at school, finding ways to guide/inspire the women at the church, guide/inspire my own children, remembering my firsts in my marriage, and trying to figure out who I want to be. The most difficult one.

Looks like this is going to be another season of growth. Hopefully, I will be inspired to write about something here every day ...for a while atleast to kick back off the writing flow. Trying to dig back up that dream again. Having a daughter who's actually making it happen has resparked my want to. It's been a blast tossing around plot points with her and seeing the thoughts that come out of her mind.

The princess, on the other hand, has been driving me absolutely nuts. She insists that she is the queen and the mom. And ...she is the only one who has not taken too well to the idea of schooling from home. She changes personality and have tos when she's at school. Being here, and not knowing how to channel that person, is proving to be a challenge. She takes all day long to get her work done while the other two get most of it done before lunch. It's definitely going to be an interesting rest of the school year. Especially since I'm not able to work. Hard to substitute for them when they can do all their work from home. Now to figure out what to do with my time.
