I will be shopping for a new vegan deodorant tomorrow. Today I was deodorant free and it went well. I was mostly with my kids all day and not one of them commented on any undue odors, so I think it was fine. High of 50-something today, so it wasn't sweltering. Alpha Gal sure is wild. The Alpha Gal Reddit page said that even some people are allergic to wool, due to the lanolin having alpha gal in it. Woe is me if that is true because my whole winter wardrobe is 100% wool. I will cry.
What a day! We had an impromptu park visit after school with our lunches that was really fun. Then we went to piano. I was very nervous about taking my beautiful potty training toddler to the piano teachers house, but it went fine! She used the bathroom like a champ. Today, so far, is going well.
I have pizza planned for dinner for the kids/hubby and bean-chicken leftover soup for me. The kids are going to watch Man in Black with pizza and I remember loving that movie when I was a kid. Excited to see what the older two think of it. I think Esther is probably too little and will be scared.
Home-school wise today was easy. Becky used her day-off card and thus I only did school with Reuben. I give the kids 5 "day-off" cards a term, so every 12 weeks they renew. I love that they can choose when they need a break and it also gives me a break...and once they run out, they are out. They don't have to use them on sick days--for sick days we only do the Ambleside readings and depending on how sick they are they don't narrate, so we don't fall behind.
I am reading a great book for my devotional this month. It's called You Are What You Worship by Michael Sharrett. I love it. Here is my favorite quote so far.
Sin exists because true worship does not. Sin at its core is always a failure to worship/honor/adore/obey/delight in/seek/yield to/ trust/enjoy or love the true God, while giving preference to something else.
Delightful and uplifting and encouraging.
Right now we are having our hour of quiet time. I did some shopping on Poshmark, made an azure order, checked my bank account, ate a banana with peanut butter, and did my devotions. It was great. Esther spent the time falling asleep in the tent fort and Becky and Reuben took an hour to play video games. Actually, Becky may have listened to an audio book, either way they were quiet and it was rejuvenating.
Also, I did not budget these past two weeks. I wanted a break. It ended up being a disaster but that was only my fault, I am the adult here. We will start over next week.
I'm making a rug with Becky. She took different yarns and chained them, and then I am taking the chained yarn and the biggest crochet hook I have, and making a circle. It's tons of fun and exciting to collaborate with one of my children on a project. Very woah moment. I love them so much.
On to tomorrow! I'm already tired and it's time to go make dinner...
