Man being a mom is truly hard! I’m home again with a sick kiddo again, two days in a row that I’ve missed work and to be honest I don’t really care that I’ve missed. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking today and trying hard to feel the feelings which for me isn’t always an easy thing. The first layer I’ve dung into is “I’m I do things right?”. I’m I making the right decision with my middle child by getting him the extra help at school and outside of school?, Should I cut back on my hours at work so I can be home more with him and maybe less tapped out from pouring all of myself in work. I work with children and that is and can be very exhausting and rewarding all at the same time. But by the time I came home work working a 8/9 hour day and sometimes 10 hour day my tank is completely empty and I have nothing else to give. I have to make dinner, check backpacks, animals chores, and the list goes on. The kids end up staying up late tell 9pm so we can fit it all in and just have a few moments with my children before they lay down for the night. Should I quite my job all together and be more available for my children, even thought they would be in school full time? My kiddos are only going to be little once and soon in hight school practically having their own lives with school, friends, sports, and work. Were working doing those school hours and those ages would be more attainable then now and hopefully they will be less sick.

I wonder if my middle kiddos would do better in a less structure, go, go, go school and be more successful learning at home. Doing homeschool school and meeting with people around the area. I could transition my 4k little over to this type of learning easy peasy I believe but would it be easy for the 5th grader or hard for him?

I’m not sure what my plan is but i defiantly have a lot to think about and research. While I was talking to my sister in law today she mentioned “KISS” which means, Keep It Simple Stupid! This is what I need to get tattooed on my arm so I can see it everyday. I need to for sure keep stuff simple and society for sure doesn’t want us to do that.

Keep it real and God Bless
