Just to follow up on last night’s rant…
I am feeling much better today. I had a good cry last night, followed by a good talk with Bob.
This morning, I took the kids for a walk to the park, which was around 2.3 miles round trip, according to Google Maps. I was good to get out. Very therapeutic.
I am definitely going to make that a regular thing.
We are going to switch to our summer schedule, since we are close to wrapping up the school work for this year’s portfolios to the state.
The summer schedule will include about an hour of academic stuff, so we can still finish up what we need to do. After that, we will do more project-oriented learning activities.
We will go out in the mornings, but I like to stay in during the sun’s peak burning hours (red hair + light skin + blue eyes + freckles = major sun burns), so I figured we could keep the studies going over the summer.
The older boys are going to camp for a week from the 22 - 28, so I have a nice break coming up. Then, in July, they will have summer kids week at church from 9 - 12 every day. Add in a couple of trips to grandma’s and I should have the mental health breaks I need to avoid meltdowns like last night.
Plus, I plan to go out at least once a week when Bob is home to some place with WiFi, so I can bring my laptop.
In other words, I am doing much better. (Wait, I said that already.)
Sorry for being such a downer! I hope to get some fun stuff posted later today and a soap tutorial tomorrow (hopefully!).

I’m glad you are feeling better. You are dealing with a lot, but I know that God will continue to guide you. Try not to worry about what other people type and stick to the places you find encouragement.
