We kicked issues off with the dreaded abdomen bug for a child. Humorous although, normally simply studying about somebody coping with this on-line makes my very own tummy flip with worry, however I felt very calm about this one for some purpose. It’s like I simply resigned myself to actuality, cancelled the mandatory commitments, and targeted on holding again hair, wiping down surfaces, protecting laundry going, and dosing the remainder of us with 100% grape juice and activated charcoal. I do know with how this stuff can go and that we aren’t out of the woods for some time, however I’m hopeful.
Is it actually solely Wednesday?
To not go on a tangent, however I additionally utilized one thing newish to my at-home pharmacy, homeopathy. My neighbor is educated on the topic and whereas I stay up for taking the category she teaches, I did buy the homeopathy equipment she advisable and have been studying about it by studying the insert (tremendous useful), researching, and asking her questions.
I’ve used homeopathy earlier than with Finley at her vet’s steerage, however by no means with my very own youngsters as a result of I used to be intimidated. And ignorant. Really, I exploit to interchangeably use the phrases pure treatment and homeopathy and searching again, I’m like- whoops! However, stay and study, and share, proper? Anyway, I’ve purpose to imagine homeopathy helped me deal with my sick youngster and now I’m much more intrigued. I’m a be aware taker when my youngsters are sick, writing down particulars equivalent to timing of incidents, temperatures at given instances, dosing of no matter I’m giving them, and many others, and Nux Vomica from the equipment appeared to be the magic ticket for us this time.
On Monday I had enjoyable, switched up lesson plans set for MLK and the inauguration and evidently, these didn’t occur. Nevertheless, we did tune in and had some nice conversations.

I actually didn’t count on shifting (are you bored with me speaking about it? I really feel like I discuss it on a regular basis) to be a two-year course of, however it certain feels that approach. Final yr was all of the logistics of constructing and bodily shifting. This yr is extra about determining our new routines and rhythms, placing the home collectively, and discovering all our new suppliers (dentists, piano academics, and many others). I’m giving myself grace with all of it and have the motto of simply preserve chipping away little by little and we’ll get all of it discovered.
