A non-eventful kind of day....

The San Francisco gloomy weather has arrived. The sun didn't peek out all day, we just sat in a heap of chilly, December fog.

This morning we started out on time with our studies, but only got 1/2 way through before my motivation took a major nose-dive. I just didn't feel like doing any more school work. Not that the boy was giving me a hard time, I just have a big case of the blahs. And not that I had a bunch of other exciting things to do either, I pretty much only did minimal housework on the side. I guess maybe I'm more than a little bored with the status quo around here and need some changes.

In fact, this posting is pretty boring too. And I'm sorry about that. I'm hoping tomorrow I can get back into the groove of things. A good night's sleep does wonders for me.

The Silver Lining.

Well I feel better.

Today at "Park Day", I met a new mom to the area. She's been homeschooling four kids for six years. Yes, I said four kids and yes, I said six years. Now, SHE deserves a medal! We talked about our past week and I shared that I had a pretty difficult one with my son. He's been whiny, he's been obstinate, he's been distracted, he's been needy, he's always hungry and I just need a break from being with him 24/7. When I told her that I was threatening him to send him back to regular school after the Winter break, she said she was relieved that she wasn't the only one that has been having issues and at times, questions her commitment. Wow. I am relieved to know I'm not the only one.

We laughed and made light of the situation with our kids. And a fairly difficult week, ends on a humorous note. Thank you Amy and welcome to the Bay Area.
