There are days lately when I feel like I am failing as a wife, mom, and teacher. I need to have more patience, not get angry, not be short, and praise my family. I most certainly need to improve and have been praying. Each morning I start out with the kids happy and in a good mood. Its not long after and I am repeating myself over and over, telling the kids to get back to their desks, stop making noises or talking, focus on your work, worry about yourself, quit messing around, and the list goes on. After so much of that I get pretty angry and my mood is ugly. After we finish school around 12:30, then I have to get lunch, do dishes and clean up. I am tired at this point and have the house to try and get back to order, laundry, return phone calls, and usually we have some place to get ready to go. Then its supper, more dishes, go over papers and school work and if I am really on the ball I get the next days work planned out. It is exhausting! These are the days I pray a lot and remind myself why I homeschool.
Today I had another freezer cooking day and today added 6 meals to the freezer, 1 ham ball, 1 beef hash brown casserole, 1 taco soup, and 2 tortellini bakes and 1 penne bake. Another day I had the boys help too. They helped dice and pack the bags. We found some good freezer recipes that I can just dump into a crockpot. I am trying to be as prepared as I can after my surgery.
