There are Worse Things I Could Do....

than drink a glass of tea or two (or three or...) :-) No soda, lots of organic tea... Has to be good right?

What a great full first day of homeschooling! We've been easing back in for the past week or so, and jumped in full strength today. I love that we chose this route for our family, and I love that the boys love it, too. It doesn't hurt that at least 75% of the time they wouldn't call what they're doing "school". :-)

We had yummy, easy to make food today, too, which I think lowered our stress levels quite a bit. We even have a yummy tomato and bean gulash simmering in the crock pot (I have to savor every minute and aspect of a day that goes well! LOL). All of this house stuff has really taken a toll on the whole family, and we're finally starting to get into a bit of a groove. I even boxed up a TON of toys (I feel as if I've been doing that for the past year). We're talking about downsizing, at least for awhile, and purchasing an investment property, so anything non-essential and clutter producing should probably find a new home...

Oh, and we're anxiously awaiting the birth of a new cousin (my 2nd niece/nephew). We can't wait to find out whether there will be five grandsons, or whether a girl is going to change things up a bit!
