Tales of a Homeschooling Mama, Part Two

I believe I mentioned a price that I was paying for homeschooling in the other post. Is it my sanity? My hygiene? My house looking like it's been taken over by squatters? My legs feeling like a cactus?

Yep, let's just chalk my sanity, hygiene, house and legs up to a big fat ZERO. I think I washed my hair Tuesday, but I can't remember. I can tell our toilet needs to be cleaned because Piper asked who didn't flush the toilet. I very easily lose track of days, commitments, children...And whose fault is this? Certainly not Piper's. She didn't ask to be homeschooled. Bryce? He was okay either way and is extremely supportive of all that I do.

It's mine. I have gone from a slightly unorganized person (other than my wondrous lists and electronic folders) to a crazy woman. Literally crazy, bedbuggy, you name it.

I lack discipline in my life. Those who know me, know that I am not a morning person. I like to sleep. I like to sleep in. I let my children gorge themselves on Cheerios and go blind from watching movies in the morning so I can get a few extra winks in. I cannot, cannot get up in the morning to save my life. I spend more time on FB than I should. I have a 5K next month...am I training for it???

Don't even try to give me advice; believe me, I'm very much like Alice in Wonderland in this aspect where I "give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it". I know I should be getting up early. I know I should have Piper's schedule prepared the night before. I know I should allow myself time to shower, actually eat a meal and shave my legs. I know I should clean a little each day or even to pick up after myself. I KNOW ALL THIS!

Well, anyways...I feel like I've gotten a little better since we've begun school. Instead of showering once a week, I'm up to 4-5 times and I even cook dinner. I'm sure by the end of the school year, I'll be back to normal. And thank goodness I still have another two years before I add another dose of crazy into our homeschooling life!

Moral of the story? I don't have one. Just wanted to clue everyone in on my life...but I do have another post coming in the next day or two that is a little more uplifting. I'm not ALL crazy up in hea-yah.
