Time

 I like to blog, it is relaxing, quiet, and kind of therapeutic. I get to write my thoughts and reflect on the day. Lately I have felt sooo busy. I run out of time by the end of the day. I feel like I spread myself way to thin. I keep plugging along but most days I just have to fall into bed around 10:30Pm because there is simply not enough time to get to everything. Another day and it starts all over again. I am doing school in the mornings, never sitting down until we eat. I do laundry, and fix lunch in between constant needs of the kids. I never sit down. Today we finished school at 1:00 and had lunch. I am needed at the shop office, I have horse chores to do. I run Jayden to the school for her game, run back home for a shower, didn’t get a shower last night. I had 10 minutes to take my shower before Luke got off the bus. The bus driver won’t leave until he sees me, so I can’t be in a towel. Off to a home volleyball game with Luke. Back home, time to fix supper, kids need baths, then claen dishes. I got them half done and needed my therapy. Here I sit and type. How can I manage my time better? I want to be outside more, it has been so nice out! I get a 20 minute break in the morning with the kids so we can get some sunshine. Something about how I envisioned  homeschooling is not the same. I envisioned so much free time. Where has it gone?

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
