My sanguine and melancholic temperaments have been battling it out lately. Truth be told, they are usually going head to head, but it seems more pronounced at the moment. I like to think sanguine wins more times than not, and if it doesn't, I can learn to love the skies I'm under.
Our house back in Oregon hasn't sold and I feel like it is sucking the life out of me. We had a small, glorious break of sorts with our bills, but very soon we will be dealing with the mortgage on that house eating up more than 80% of Kevin's paycheck. I trust that one way or another things will work out but oh, the sleepless nights spent worrying about it! Don't worry about anything, pray about everything - Wisdom from my K.
I am still in the planning stages of K's homeschooling. I am not too worried about it as we are only a about month behind and I plan on doing school year round anyways. We should be a able to catch up fast. In the meantime I have unknowingly been doing some unschooling with her. I didn't realize it until my friend Grace told me to read A Little Way of Homeschooling. What an uplifting book! I have been reading it every night before bed and am nearly finished. The book echoes what I have already been feeling in my heart and in my head - my relationship with K comes before schooling. I believe this to be true with all parent/child relationships and schooling methods - public, private, Waldorf, Montessori, homeschooling - you name it.
And on yet another random topic - I decided that I really need to get back on a schedule of waking up before my children and hopefully even blogging early in the morning. I just can't articulate anything after a long day and my writing has greatly suffered from trying to do so. Thank you to all of you that have stuck with me through these times. I hope that the pretty pictures helped a bit.
