My inlaws are here. Day 2. I haven't been at my best, or really been the best hostess. I'm antisocial, moody, and tired. I'm stressed out. Why can't I relax? Having C home for the week is nice. I wish it were time with him with just the immediate family. But I'm glad he's getting … Continue reading Inlaws Are Here

Personal Curriculum Plans
It is midway through June and I still don't have my summer curriculum set up, so the one I create might bleed into the fall. I've decided I want to study Spanish so that I can communicate in Spanish to L and to A. A has been taking Spanish lessons online. I'll probably use the … Continue reading Personal Curriculum Plans
Next Semester
I want to design another personal curriculum for this semester for Stay at Home University, or SAHU as I sometimes call it. I want to continue my unit on horror, delving into short stories and maybe even a novel or two. For the past several months, I have been devouring books on the art of … Continue reading Next Semester
Long Nap, Ash
Earlier I made dinner and ran two loads of laundry and painted two paintings. Then I fell into bed and slept for 2 hours. I don't know what came over me. Exhaustion just caught up. Now I'm up and feeling refreshed. Saturday's date night was great. Backrooms was unsettling and I liked it. I tried … Continue reading Long Nap, Ash
Mother Mary
I am gathering Catholic books. I bought 4 from Ascension Press that I downloaded on my ipad/kindle. One is about drawing near to Mother Mary like a daughter. This is still so new to me, somehow homey and foreign simultaneously. I don't know how to draw close to Mary. I want to find out. As … Continue reading Mother Mary

Happy Mother’s Day!
I woke up to a fresh baked lasagna made by C. It was scrumptious. Then I opened my presents. They got me a new set of rainbow lights for my wall! I had been wanting those for so long since my last set broke. They gave me a little raccoon, a candle, some art suppplies, … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day!
In the Midst of the Storm
The power has been out for 14 hours. I'm so hot it's ridiculous. One of our fire alarms is periodically beeping because it's malfunctioning. Wind whips so hard through the storm shutters that they bang and whistle. I'm charging my phone on my laptop the best I can. The house is a dark, humid, hot … Continue reading In the Midst of the Storm
Taco Bell
Today I went to my daughter A's school for lunch to surprise her. I brought Taco Bell. She was so happy! I had anxiety getting there, and anxiety waiting to see her because the cafeteria was so loud. But I stuck it out and I made it. I'm so glad I did. She's in class … Continue reading Taco Bell
Envy
Have you ever been at a dinner party for your husband's job, and when someone asks what you do and you say homemaker, their eyes glaze over and they ignore you after? Or maybe your husband wins an award and you find yourself trying to remember the last time you were recognized for anything you've … Continue reading Envy
