Yer Blues

  I like the Beatles, guess that explains the title.  But I am feeling a bit blue.  Perhaps I'm just tired.  The school year is going well, at least I think so.  My husband is teaching the two days that I work, and I think that's great.  He and the boys are learning how to school and do whatever it is boys do.
  I like my job.  The people are nice.  Because it's a low cost vet clinic, I don't feel like I robbed someone, when I leave work.  I meet quite the array of interesting people.
  Co op is going wonderful.  We haven't been able to meet with our TWIGGS co op at all this year.  They meet on the same day that we have classes at our other co op, and the field trips are on days that I work.  It's a little disappointing  but there's not much I can do about it.  I am very happy with our curriculum this year.  Phonics Road 2 is excellent so far, as is Singapore math.  We've done a unit study on weather-we have quite the little meteorologist, and will be starting a unit on rocks.  The little guy is doing a little more letter work.  My husband is a little frustrated that he doesn't know all the letters yet, but he'll be fine.  I didn't teach our oldest to read until a little after he turned 5.  And we are slowly going through the history timeline.  The boys are both enjoying Egypt currently, and being mummies!

  But, it's fall.  What would have been our baby's second birthday has recently come and gone.  I was quite down about it.  I feel like each year, I remember every detail, no matter if pleasant or upsetting.  I spoke to a friend about how I had weaned my son, and yet neither of us were ready at that time.  It still sticks with me.  I should have told her exactly why, but sometimes I feel like I get pitty, and that's not what I want.  I don't want people to be afraid to let me know they are having a baby.  An old school friend did that just recently.  Another friend of mine had her baby, for which I am so very happy-it's her rainbow baby.  And yet another mom I know is due any day.
 I have an anniversary coming up.
 In laws who invited themselves to stay with us for the Thanksgiving holiday.  The ones who are against home school, and tend to be opinionated about our life choices.
 So I'm feeling out of sorts.  Very out of sorts.  I want something.  I need, no crave something, I just don't know what it is.
