Sorry, but circumstances have kept me quiet.<br/><br/>Live goes on, things are going ok here but busy. It’s tax season and so my husband is working a lot. That means I am working overtime at home doing all the parenting duties. It happens every year but every year I get tired and worn out and cranky.<br/><br/>Today I am taking my own mental health day from church. My husband just left with the kids and won’t be back till after lunch sometime. So I’m going to post this to my blog and get to work on preparing for my meeting with the charter school on Tuesday and planning for the next week of school. A luxury I rarely get to do alone while the sun is up!<br/><br/>We just got a new puppy that is only 6 weeks old. She’s a cutie but needs to be watched every minute of the day to get her to go potty outside!!! It’s like having a baby again. But the kids are helping.<br/><br/>Baseball and Softball seasons are starting. Sutton is already practicing for softball and Jack starts this week. My husband is the coach for his team so we’ve been busy with all the preparations.<br/><br/>February burn out has hit for homeschooling. We are all wishing for spring (well, not March as Sutton always gets worse in March) but spring will be nice. We will be able to go outside more and enjoy the sunshine. <br/><br/>I’m tired of trying to get everyone doing the right things and feeling very guilty for not doing it! I’m trying to let go of my guilty and see all that we do and how much the kids are doing and learning.<br/><br/>Have a wonderful Sunday,<br/>KarenKaren Petznoreply@blogger.com
