Nablopomo wins again. But I’m feeling more solid in my blogging so I also consider it a win for me. This last week I took the kids to a play, piano lessons, campfire meeting and homeschool club. In between those I managed to help put meals on the table and keep animals fed too. Laundry didn’t happen but we’re not nekkid yet so I still have a day or two to wash some clothes. One of the most important things I did this week was take an evening for myself. Every time I do take a night for myself I am reminded of just how much it recharges me. But it is so very easy to forget to make time for that.

I managed to write a few short letters to go out in the mail. I caught up with some family members this week too. The boys spent some quality time with Mama shelling beans and watching science programs. We listened to history. We practice piano and lots of math. And yet I wasn’t feeling overwhelmed. I think by focusing more on what I’m doing in the moment rather than what I need to do next or tomorrow I was actually able to get more done.
