I needed to start out this put up “it’s been a doozy of per week” after which I spotted it’s Wednesday morning. Ha! Some weeks are like that, aren’t they? We kicked issues off with the dreaded abdomen bug for a child. Humorous although, often simply studying about somebody coping with this on-line makes my very own tummy flip with concern, however I felt very calm about this one for some motive. It’s like I simply resigned myself to actuality, cancelled the mandatory commitments, and targeted on holding again hair, wiping down surfaces, retaining laundry going, and dosing the remainder of us with 100% grape juice and activated charcoal. I do know with how these items can go and that we aren’t out of the woods for some time, however I’m hopeful.
To not go on a tangent, however I additionally utilized one thing newish to my at-home pharmacy, homeopathy. My neighbor is educated on the topic and whereas I stay up for taking the category she teaches, I did buy the homeopathy package she advisable and have been studying about it by studying the insert (tremendous useful), researching, and asking her questions.
I’ve used homeopathy earlier than with Finley at her vet’s steerage, however by no means with my very own youngsters as a result of I used to be intimidated. And ignorant. Really, I exploit to interchangeably use the phrases pure treatment and homeopathy and looking out again, I’m like- whoops! However, dwell and study, and share, proper? Anyway, I’ve motive to consider homeopathy helped me deal with my sick youngster and now I’m much more intrigued. I’m a word taker when my youngsters are sick, writing down particulars reminiscent of timing of incidents, temperatures at given instances, dosing of no matter I’m giving them, and many others, and Nux Vomica from the package gave the impression to be the magic ticket for us this time.
On Monday I had enjoyable, switched up lesson plans set for MLK and the inauguration and evidently, these didn’t occur. Nonetheless we did tune in and had some nice conversations. We did the Collect Spherical Authorities Unit final 12 months to have a base understanding of how our authorities is structured, however watching it motion is all the time extra fascinating, proper?

In our household you get to request your dinner and dessert of alternative, and David’s is often the same- steak fajitas!
It was a comfortable, cloudy day and even snowed within the late afternoon. It was stunning to look at come down whereas inside we watched Anne with an E and continued to principally relaxation and get well.

Final random considered the day. I actually didn’t count on transferring (are you bored with me speaking about it? I really feel like I discuss it on a regular basis) to be a two 12 months course of, but it surely positive feels that method. Final 12 months was all of the logistics of constructing and bodily transferring. This 12 months is extra about determining our new routines and rhythms, placing the home collectively, and discovering all our new suppliers (dentists, piano lecturers, and many others). I’m giving myself grace with all of it and have the motto of simply preserve chipping away little by little and we’ll get all of it discovered.
On that word, I’ve my first haircut shortly scheduled and I’m very excited. Since I finished dying my hair it’s grown out (grays and all) to only beneath my chin.
