My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

This week so far has been interesting for the E-trio. We usually plan one activity a day since Ellis can only handle one before a physical or mental breakdown. But yesterday was a new one for us! She had state testing in the morning, ophthalmologist appointment for both kids in the early afternoon, and then the monthly 4-H club meeting in the evening. And we survived! There were no tears. I’m surprised at how well we all did.

We had a St. Patrick’s activity at 4-H where kids put their shoes outside to see if the Leprechaun would come and leave gold coins inside the shoes. The Leprechaun showed up and didn’t disappoint!

Eye appointment. Eyes are healthy for both!
At the 4-H meeting. Teddy getting festive for the party.

    I try not to plan more than one activity per day as well. I get easily overwhelmed. Three activities in one day is a lot.
    Great job! 👏 ⭐️ 🏅

      Me too! I’m a 1 a day activity person too, but last week was just crazy with so much on our schedule. This week is supposed to be better but my mom just called me this morning that she was going to the E.R. because she hasn’t been feeling well. Diabetes and high lactic acid number. oyyyyy! Stress is high but I’m trying to take it all in stride because when I get stressed, Ellis gets stressed and that leads to her cyclic vomiting. It’s a challenge for me!
      Thank you for the encouragement!

    So glad to read about your good day! I still get overwhelmed with too many people around and too much to do.
