Turn for the worst

 Ever since we started school my health has been up and down and up and down and I've been struggling so much to stabilize myself. Homeschooling and cooking is hard enough without the chronic illness roller coaster that is my life. And the whiplash is severe. Yesterday I was fine. We did all of school. Today I am barely walking. I have serious allergy symptoms but the biggest issue is my right eye keeps being "lazy" and making it hard to see and walk, much less read to my kids. And my ears, throat and nose is going like crazy with the allergies. Today is a lay down day but I did three loads of laundry already and made breakfast for everyone, and sent a friend a belated birthday card. I'm trying to push through and I hope I can make it, for my kids. But we will do very little school today--I told the kids we would probably only accomplish some readings. If my eye will behave!

We had great days Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Why does everything have to crash now? I'm determined to keep my spirits up and trust in the Lord. My health might take a major dip for a week or two, but it might come back up. I've had really low lows that last for a long time but I want to count my blessings for the highs when they do come. I just wish I had more warning when they leave. I think if I could brace myself and get ready it would be easier but whatever is wrong with me can be triggered in an hour and I go from 100 percent to 5. 

I miss writing here, but with my eye acting up and all the workload added back with kids, I am not as organized or efficient as I thought I was. 

The kids are doing so well with school! We got our azure order after taking two months off due to no budget and I am sooooooooo happy to be stocked in all our regular delicious regulars. Our budget is still a mess. I hope to be somewhere with it by December. Inflation is crazy. If it gets worse I really don't know what we will do. I would have to get a job. Or maybe Becky would have to quit piano. I don't want to think about it!

So much is happening and I need to write some long update posts but I'm going to go sneeze my way though loading the dishwasher.
