Homestead in Arcata

Hello again!

LONG TIME NO TYPE OR SEE!

I have bascially forgotten about this blog but something tugged at my heart to start doing it again.My biggest problem is that I am still attending school online to get my bachelors in Education and I can't see to even find the time to do my schoolwork let alone find time to blog.

For those of you who don't know me very well, I am a stay at home mom with three kids, who I homeschool.

Well, How are we doing lately? Here's how, My husband is still in school, this is his last year and will probably be the hardest. He is so busy he doesn't even have time to sleep or eat hardley. I miss having him available to be with us, but I know this too shall pass.

I am trying to keep on task with the kids school and make sure I do some everyday. This in itself is a hard task because some days I just feel like I want to do nothing. The work seems to never end. There is always something to do, dishes, laundry, school, pick up after kids, tend to kids needs, I am one tired mother. Sometimes I feel like I just want them to grow up and let me live my life. I know this sounds bad but does anybody else feel this exausted sometimes?

I love my kids and I know if they were all grown up I would miss them and wish they were little, its just more work than I can sometimes handle. Anybody else feel this way?

One thing I know I have figured out is that if I stick to a routine everyone in the family benifits from this. What I mean by routine is mean is the same meal times, school at the same time, bedtime at the same day, things like this. What I have trouble with is the keeping the routine in place. Sometimes I don't feel like making it happen, I am tired of being the one who always has to make the routine happen everyday. Part of this is because my husband is busy with school, but I need a break sometimes too.

Anyway, I probably sound like I am winning. My three year old is winning right now too, he wants something he can't have. Ughhh!

I hope everyone is having a better day than me.

God Bless to everyone!

Homestead in Arcata, CA

Hello,

My name is Kathy. I live in Arcata CA. I am inspired to live a Homestead life, even though I live in a duplex in a town and not on some land out in the country. I am good friends with Lisa and am part of her Titus 2 group that meets at her homestead in Carlotta a couple of times a month. She has taught me how to become a homestead mamma and do the best with what I have, until the day that the good Lord provides me and my family with some land in the country.

I hope to hear from you all.
