Can we have the autumn harvest before or at the same time as the spring planting?Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03383635329315687176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-57177692364733078272008-04-25T16:02:00.000-05:002008-04-25T16:02:00.000-05:00The number one most important thing for you to do ...The number one most important thing for you to do now is to take care of yourself! I'll tell you this a thousand times, kiddo...your children have PLENTY of time to learn things! And trust me, the crocheting, etc., isn't going anywhere. Come to think of it, neither are the dishes. Relax. Get yourself some nice ginger tea to sip (makes great ice tea, too) and maybe a little vanilla yogurt. And I hope you feel better soon! Believe me, there isn't a mommy out here who doesn't feel for you!<BR/>Oh, and don't you DARE call yourself a 'lazybones'--ever!!! You aren't lazy. You're pregnant, with two little ones. The great and powerful Mom2fur has spoken! (Just kidding about the great and powerful bit--not kidding about telling you to stop being so hard on yourself.)Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-484283643260649962008-04-23T12:07:00.000-05:002008-04-23T12:07:00.000-05:00Though others may disagree, you are in the midst o...Though others may disagree, you are in the midst of the hardest part of homeschooling. Do you remember seeing commercials MANY, MANY moons ago about RIF? Reading is Fundamental. Once they can read, you are no longer a slave to tell them every single thing they need to be doing. IN FACT, they are better off if you DON'T tell them once they can read. Reading comprehension, you know! <BR/><BR/>There's time aplenty for all of the things you want to do, though it may not seem so today. It's taken me years to be able to do what I'm interested in, and even now I can't always get it all done. Hang in there. You're doing well!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17316243882758535639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-84019406828986414632008-04-23T06:26:00.000-05:002008-04-23T06:26:00.000-05:00Try Seabands for nausea.

They are in the pharmacy section of the grocery store and are lovely little gray wrist bands with a white button that pushes a pressure point in your wrist. They are traditionally for motion sickness, but work great for morning sickness. And such a fashion statement. Cough.<BR/>Also, I ate chocolate pudding and saltines for breakfast everyday with Audrey.(old Navy sea sickness trick), it never came back up, and I ended up feeling better the rest of the day, because I still had breakfast in me.<BR/>Lastly, this time around, when I start feeling particularily bad, and handfull of pretzels, and a small glass of ginger-ale (Seagrams only, in my case)seems to get me back on my feet.<BR/>A few suggestions from one prego to another, and praying for more good days than bad.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363843039604440511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-33237196539909323042008-04-22T12:08:00.000-05:002008-04-22T12:08:00.000-05:00Choosing your children over other things is truly ...Choosing your children over other things is truly a great and wonderful sacrifice. You are making the right choices. As my sister-in-law's sign in her home states..."Cleaning the home while the children are growing is like shoveling the snow when the snow is still snowing." Your children, not the fabric, dishes, or even blogging are the priority right now, as it should be! I'm proud of you. Especially with the Bumpkin...your plate is very full right now. Take it easy and remember that God will not give you more than you can handle.<BR/>Blessings-AndieAndiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16442829323972885504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-59433353544679150012008-04-22T10:07:00.000-05:002008-04-22T10:07:00.000-05:00Rebecca, you are right that homeschooling does eat...Rebecca, you are right that homeschooling does eat up a huge chunk of your day, especially as they get older. Don't forget your children are little and you are pregnant. Something has to give. There will always be time for crafts and photographs and blogging later on. Your children won't be little forever!<BR/><BR/>I've come to the conclusion that I just have refocus my priorities. I have 3 children (2 teens) that have special needs so for me homeschooling literally takes up most of my time. I can't just leave them at a table to do work. However, from God's perspective I am doing major things to further His kingdom by pouring my life into raising children who love Him and will grow to serve Him.<BR/><BR/>(((Hugs))),<BR/><BR/>TerriTerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15813884721045918546noreply@blogger.com
