…it probably means that I have somehow melded with my house on a molecular level. I have become one with it, never to emerge from it again. Never to see the light of day.
Ok, it’s not quite that bad, but this homeschool thing is an adjustment. And I thought it would be tough on Jachin… but it’s really not so much for him. He’s diggin’ it. Me, on the other hand? Two days into it and I’m getting the shakes. I feel like I have cabin fever. Have you ever been snowed in anywhere for a few days? That’s how I feel. Except that it really makes no sense because the kids and I spent two hours at the pool today. In the sunshine. And we practically had the place to ourselves, because everyone else was at school! Hello! Non-crowded, sun-shiney, chlorine smelling niceness, and I manage to find a way to feel lonely and isolated. I’m a nut. It’s completely mental.
I’m hoping after a week or so I’ll feel better. I need to find my groovy routine. And more frequent nights out may be in order. Or something. Something…
On a peppier note: Did I mention that Jachin is diggin’ it? Cuz he is. Here is what he did today while his friends were sitting somewhere in a Social Studies class:
And did I also mention that there were only about 20 other people there? Notice how there is NO LINE for the slide? He just kept sliding down and then running straight back up the stairs to go again…
And here’s what they did yesterday at roughly the same time in the afternoon:
The best thing of all so far: they’ve hardly fought at all the past two days, despite being together so much. Knock on wood, this could really, truly, actually be a good thing…

I don’t think you’re mental. It’s a big adjustment. I’m glad Jachin is diggin’ it. You’ll find your groove, just like Stella. But without the sex. Homeschool is no place for sex.
