I needed to begin this submit “it’s been a doozy of every week” after which I spotted it’s Wednesday morning. Ha! Some weeks are like that, aren’t they? We kicked issues off with the dreaded abdomen bug for a child. Humorous although, often simply studying about somebody coping with this on-line makes my very own tummy flip with concern, however I felt very calm about this one for some motive. It’s like I simply resigned myself to actuality, cancelled the required commitments, and targeted on holding again hair, wiping down surfaces, protecting laundry going, and dosing the remainder of us with 100% grape juice and activated charcoal. I do know with how these items can go and that we aren’t out of the woods for some time, however I’m hopeful.
To not go on a tangent, however I additionally utilized one thing newish to my at-home pharmacy, homeopathy. My neighbor is educated on the topic and whereas I look ahead to taking the category she teaches, I did buy the homeopathy package she beneficial and have been studying about it by studying the insert (tremendous useful), researching, and asking her questions.
I’ve used homeopathy earlier than with Finley at her vet’s steerage, however by no means with my very own youngsters as a result of I used to be intimidated. And ignorant. Really, I exploit to interchangeably use the phrases pure treatment and homeopathy and searching again, I’m like- whoops! However, stay and study, and share, proper? Anyway, I’ve motive to imagine homeopathy helped me deal with my sick little one and now I’m much more intrigued. I’m a notice taker when my youngsters are sick, writing down particulars similar to timing of incidents, temperatures at given instances, dosing of no matter I’m giving them, and so forth, and Nux Vomica from the package appeared to be the magic ticket for us this time.
On Monday I had enjoyable, switched up lesson plans set for MLK and the inauguration and for sure, these didn’t occur. Nevertheless we did tune in and had some nice conversations.

Final random considered the day. I actually didn’t anticipate shifting (are you uninterested in me speaking about it? I really feel like I discuss it on a regular basis) to be a two yr course of, however it positive feels that approach. Final yr was all of the logistics of constructing and bodily shifting. This yr is extra about determining our new routines and rhythms, placing the home collectively, and discovering all our new suppliers (dentists, piano academics, and so forth). I’m giving myself grace with all of it and have the motto of simply maintain chipping away little by little and we’ll get all of it discovered.
On that notice, I’ve my first haircut shortly scheduled and I’m very excited. Since I ended dying my hair it’s grown out (grays and all) to only under my chin.
