We have started the new home school year. Yes I realize I am nuts. No need to point out the obvious people. So far, so good. I am enjoying the more free schooling we have adapted for this year. Fits my personality better. And we all know, if mama ain't happy.....
So it goes. Another year to begin. I am not sure what it is about this time of the year. But I like it. The weather is cooler already. It is as if with fall comes a new chapter in life. Or just as the leaves change, so does your view. A new beginning if you will.
I hate to admit this out loud, but having the baby hit me harder than I expected. Everyone said that adding number three was seamless. Once you have two, one more is no big deal. Either they lied or I am a freak. Because it kicked my arse. I think I am just now coming out of the baby fog. And it feels good.
Do not get me wrong. I love the little guy. But it has not been easy. Mostly on my mind. Which as anyone who knows me can attest to, is not all there anyway. So when you are not playing with a full deck to begin with......you get the picture.
I think Mark is glad to see me back in the land of the living. It was almost as if I was going through the motions the last few months. In survival mode.
Want to know how I know I am back? When I can paint my nails again. Or actually when I CARE to paint them again. I love to paint my fingernails. I have since I was 12 or 13. Do not know why. It is just one of my things. So I know I have returned to Abby when I am whipping out the paint polish and stocking up on new polish at Target. And guess what? My nails have been painted for the last 2-3 weeks.
I AM BACK! And I missed me too.

I think it takes a lot of adjustment with each one. I want more babies, but I don't want that period of adjustment after.
Homeschooling will officially start for us in a year I guess. Every time I think about it I get a little terrified!
