we've been back from my mom's and dad's house for a week now, and i don't know where the time went. we went ice skating twice (since it was the last week), and i attended a traditional nutrition guild class about making broths, but other than these activities, i don't feel like we've accomplished very much. ellen's dances need to be started, main lessons finished, and the apartment fixed up a bit . . there are bags of salvation army clothes that need to be discarded, and even some empty boxes from christmas presents that still need to be put away . . everything i do seems to be done in slow motion . . it was also difficult to come home again . . i still feel like i'm living on the edge of a cliff without the mulberry branches waving outside my window. montauk was beautiful and we had a wonderful time. i'll try and put up some posts about it . . but, honestly, i feel like i'm up against a towering mountain of stones and all must be sorted and put in their proper glass jars and the task is so colossal that i'm unable to start. or i begin and then get confused because i can't remember which color or size goes in what jar.you tame pigeons,
you turtle-doves,
and all you birds beneath the sky,
come and help me pick . .
the good into the pot,
the bad into the crop.

I am TOTALLY with you on this... I've wandered around today in a total daze! I'm absolutely exhausted, can't think straight or see straight!
ReplyDeleteWe're in total slow motion re home school... if we slow down further we'd grind to a halt.
Wish I could make you a nice cup of tea and we could sit by our log burner in the lounge. Instead I will content myself with a HUGE HUG across the miles, from my keyboard to your screen!
with Love and understanding San xxx
hello san, thanks so much for your warm hug. it is already making me feel better. i'm thinking i need to look at my diet . . maybe add some vitamins in for a little while. and no sugar! it's difficult to stop after the delicious holiday treats. i know you are probably sleep deprived, and if so, i hope you get some sleep soon. i think we just have to continue puttering about and be glad that we have our days to move in. we have food to put on the table, our loved ones to hold and we can freely walk out of our front doors. and the girls are reading . . everything in sight, so it's not like they aren't learning anything. unschooling is fine but i do have nice plans; just have to implement them! a big hug to you and i'll think of you later today when i have my tea :)
