The school year has officially started. We are busy doing writing, math, science and such every day. We attend our homeschool co-op where I teach a class on Colonial America to the 8- and 9-year olds. We are also adding a 4-H and orchestra co-op on Fridays. Hopefully this craziness will only last until mid-November. Then we will have to choose one co-op to attend. I don't have the energy for two co-ops, plus we need to have time to do some actual schoolwork. Life is busy, as it always is.
I then decided I would go back to school with all my free time. It wasn't something I was consciously planning but I was presented with an opportunity to get my bachelors degree from BYU-Idaho while doing 95% of my course work online, all for an incredible price. So now I am back in school. I am taking two classes and it seems to be about all I can manage.
For those people who keep asking me how I get it all done I invite you to drop in anytime. You can feel superior when you see all the weeds crowding out the flowers out front. When you enter my house and find the three year old running around naked (I'm hoping he will grow out of this at some point and not grow up to be the neighborhood flasher), the clutter everywhere and the piles of clean and dirty laundry all over the in the bathroom you will realize how I am getting everything done. I'm just not. Even my poor blog which I have been faithful to for seven years now is feeling neglected.
We are all getting educated over here but not much else is happening. I wonder if we will ever have clean underwear again? I can almost guarantee the socks will never again be mated.

Well at least some of Libby's don't have to be mated.... I have been slowly coming to terms with the fact that some things are best left neglected in order to give my kids what they need, your kids are extremely lucky to have a mom as dedicated to them as you. They just may not realize it until they are in their mid twenties.
