I thrived with how much I had time to write this past spring and summer. And I promised myself I would return to these blank pages for my own emotional well-being, but alas homeschooling, housecleaning, child-rearing, marriage and family quickly took over from the lull that was our summer. Oh, what an amazing summer we had. We swam so much! We enjoyed a lot of reading time! And we all rested a lot.
School has been underway for many weeks now--Becky has three weeks left of term 1 of year 2. It's going by so fast. Reuben has 4 weeks left of term 3, year 4. He will be in year 5 so soon! He's growing up to quickly!
I feel like all chaos from traveling has washed away and we are all back to our normal routine. Esther had a little cold and now she's on the mend and Becky has the cold. Hopefully Reuben will stay well, he has football tomorrow!
I have two sweaters about 50% of the way done. Both crochet sweaters!
I've been watercoloring flowers. I'm terrible at it but it is so relaxing and fun.
I've pulled out all the fall and winter clothes. It is cold. I am wearing wool and it is bliss. Becky's coat for last year fit her but Reuben needed a new one. I hope he likes it! Esther got a wool cape. I'm obsessed and will take a picture of her in it as soon as it gets a little colder.
Our house needs decluttering (as always) and I have no idea what is for dinner! Oh, I need to pull out pizza crusts for tomorrow, I want sourdough pizza before Becky and Reuben eat all my pepperoni as snacks.
I am feeling really good health-wise. I have energy most days to get through tasks and I'm enjoying myself. God be praised. I am sure I will trend downhill somehow, someway...I always do. But for now I am counting my blessings and enjoy a bit of normal health...though I am still taking a lot of supplements and enemas and juggling diabetes, it feels nice to be in a good place.
Also, I found out I can eat wild rice and sweet potatoes. Yay! Still can't eat white rice or brown (blood sugar too high) or white potatoes for the same reason. But wild rice is really yummy...
Oh, I just forgot I made beans in the instant pot this morning and forgot to get them out! That will be next on my list.
How are you all?
