Monday: Toddler breaks arm at 10 am, day spent visiting doctors, night spent comforting a hurting child.
Tuesday: Spent in a hospital, including handing over my weeping toddler to strangers for my first ever experience of one of my children under general anesthesia.
Wednesday - Thursday: Husband has the flu and is out of commission entirely.
Friday: I'm toast. And I'm an emotional basket case. And today is my baby's first birthday. Cause for thanksgiving and celebration, but also cause for reflecting on the past year which has, without a doubt, been the hardest. year. yet.
So, we did some light chores (regular stuff for a Friday) and now I'm giving myself a day to reflect and process, which I do best through writing. I've actually been processing through writing for years, but in the form of documents on my computer. I never felt comfortable blogging because I never felt like I had any "answers". Now I've realized that what I have to share isn't answers, but questions - the journey, not the endpoint. And it is such a relief to share. So maybe I'll get caught up on the blog?
Side note: I don't know how anyone ever managed to homeschool (and stay sane) before Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant Video.
