Mentally Drained and Field Trips!

That is what I am this evening, I don't know why, maybe it is spending the evening with a 9 yr old who is having melt down after melt down (which is unusual), maybe it's after spending the day running from here to there, listening to children bickering, or just plain old non stop talking. I'm tired. I'm hardly ever like this lately. Don't get me wrong, I had my times when I was tired like this, back when my kids were 5, 3, 2 and new born. I know there are days like this when one home schools, but like any other mom, or human, I'm allowed to not like these days and just want to quit. I don't want to do anything, and my mama is coming tomorrow to help me organize some of my long lost rooms. Which I am ever so grateful for, and I am hoping tomorrow will be a better day! I need to get down on my knees tonight and pray, cause otherwise it is going to be a very very long week. As we have to be out for two more field trips, after the one this afternoon.

I'm loving field trips, it's fun to getting out and mingling with other mothers, and having the children play and 'socialize' with other kids! We haven't done very many field trips in the past, mostly cause the kids were little, but now that they are all older, and not as crazy out in public, it is easy to go out. It still makes it for a long day, cause when I am out with all four of my kids, I kinda get in panic mode, hoping that they behave, that they don't get lost, hoping that they don't get hurt, or hurt someone else by not paying attention to what they are doing. I get very stressed when taking my brood out, and besides I don't like answering the questions like "No school today?" or "Where do you go to school?" It does get tiring after awhile! So I tend to stay home, which is one of my favorite places to be!!

I still haven't had time to upload pictures and videos to a online photo album place. I looked once, but was on the wrong laptop, so I couldn't upload any pictures. Don't worry, I will share, once I find a place!!

I will leave you with one picture from our vacation, one of the things that was my favorit thing to do, sit and listen to the waves crashing against the rocks, and starring out at the great big ocean!!
