Plans vs reality

September 20, 2012 By Erika Zane

20 Sep

I really wanted to home school.

I say that like it’s too late.  I know it’s not.  I still have plenty of time.

Little Man had his first day of preschool on Tuesday.  Sending him wasn’t part of the “plan” but I’m so excited just the same.  It’s a Montessori school and he absolutely loves it.  We signed him up for three half days a week.  He goes in the afternoon during what used to be his nap time.

Scary, I know.

We still have some kinks to work out but, so far, letting him sleep in and then making his bed time earlier on the days he goes to school seems to work pretty well.

Plans are over-rated anyway, right?  Turns out it’s much harder to leave the house with two little ones than I expected and Little Man doesn’t have a pause button.  I’m excited to try homeschooling when Little Hiccup gets a little older, but for now, this is the perfect solution to this over-tired mama.  AND isn’t that backpack cute?

Plus, this gives me time to launch my new web/blog design business.  Go check it out – EZ Creative.  I’m offering 50% off any service to anyone who hires me this month!

HAPPY FRIDAY!

    Since my stroke I’ve found that plans rarely equal reality.

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
