I was whining to my cousin, I confess. I never let my kids whine, but it’s OK for me. You know how that is. Anyway, I was complaining about my getting a remodel. I know I have to do it. Two months ago we pulled off some wallpaper had a new kitchen window installed. Here we are, two months later, and I still have no paint on the walls, and the window remains “unwrapped.” I don’t have curtains or blinds. The summer sun beats into the kitchen. Two months. And yet, I just can’t do it.
“I just want someone to come here and do the thinking for me! I don’t have any forward momentum, it’s all come to a dead stop!”
In all fairness, my business does keep me… well… BUSY! I hardly have time to do anything, but especially not something as large as a remodel! Still, to live in a paint-less kitchen with a roughed-in window isn’t very fun! So I plan to hire a contractor. Really. I plan on it.
Everyone needs help sometimes. Nobody can do it all, all the time. If you need help with homeschooling, I can help! That doesn’t mean that *I* don’t need help with some other things sometimes. It’s not a sign of weakness at all! I’ll be glad to come alongside of you. I know what it’s like to ask for help. Everybody asks for help sometimes.
What has you immobilized? I’d like to hear if you have things you know you have to do but just can’t get moving forward. Please leave a comment! Come on…It will be theraputic!

My son gets resistant to getting some of his subjects done. I get weary of trying to “make him” do it.
My dream is for him to be self-motivated. It seems like I have to sit on him most of the time.
He will be 16 in February.
Thanks for letting me vent a little.

I’m just downright unorganized with curriculum as well as record keeping. I want to do too much. I can’t decide to stick with one topic at a time and finish something to be able to grade it.
