Write 31 Days – Day 5

October 5, 2016 By Rose

Thanks so much for visiting stopping by! I'd love for you to Sign up for FREE updates in your inbox or in your feed reader to keep up with all the latest things I'm sharing!

I almost let today slip by without posting.  But here I am… just before midnight, getting it done!  Write 31 Days – Day 5.

My husband called from work this morning to see how my day was going and I didn’t know what to say.  It was one of those days where I had to choose between doing what I needed to do and doing the other things I needed to do.

It’s so hard sometimes being a homeschool, work-at-home, housekeeping Mommy… and that’s only scratching the surface of my list of jobs.

You see, our bedroom was out of control.  Laundry piled up everywhere.  I couldn’t find the surface of my dresser or the bottom of my closet. It was a nightmare.

But also… I needed to homeschool the kids (as I do most every day).  They can do a lot on their own, but they like for me to read to them and participate and I miss out when I don’t.  They also tend to get distracted easily and not finish everything if I don’t stay on top of them.

The sad thing was – I knew my bedroom was gonna be an all-day job.  So I had to choose… clean bedroom or hands-on with my kids?  Today I chose the bedroom.

And when I make my way to bed tonight – I’ll be glad that I’m not tripping over shoes and that I can actually find the Bible on my night stand.

As for the kids… they tell me they finished everything?  I’ll only know for sure when I check the lesson plans and follow-up on them tomorrow.

What else did we do today?   Late this afternoon, the kids had their tumbling/cross-fit class at Cheer Up.  They go once a week and absolutely love it!  Here are some pics from a couple of weeks ago:

There are enough Atwater kids that they practically get a class all to themselves.  A couple of other boys have joined our class but in the beginning, it was just us 🙂

Today’s class ran long, so we rushed home, the hubby and I did our kettelbell workout, then we were off to church.  We got home late so it was a pancakes & bacon kind of night for supper (I had homemade batter already made up in the freezer so it was easy to pull together).

Until tomorrow…
