Absolute Pandemomium

24/03/2022

Hey, moms!

This is what it looks like when you put everyone else before you. This is what happens when you don’t put your own health and nutrition above all. I’m completely depleted of most of these supplements, y’all. It’s going to take time to feel somewhat normal again. This is my new daily. I’ve been completely useless for weeks now. All because momma didn’t take care of herself.

When you are a mom, nothing is more important that your heath and nutrition, because without it you can’t mom. It’s not selfish to care for your mind, body, and spirit… It’s necessary!

If you would have told me on Monday my eldest son would be cutting and sewing doll clothes on Tuesday, I’d be knee-slappin’ laughin’ at you… 😳 But, big bro can sew, y’all!

Happy Tuesday, y’all!

There really are parents out there who blindly allow their kids to use social media. Those same parents are the ones who blame the social media companies for their personal lack of knowledge and involvement…

Maybe it’s time parents hold themselves accountable for their lack of parenting? Just a thought!

Because things are getting crazy around these parts!

What is PandeMOMium? pan·de·mo·mi·um /ˌpandəˈmämēəm/ (noun) the wild, noisy, disorderly, or confusing life of a mom! Let’s create some calm amidst the chaos, shall we? A place where moms can: • Share wins and failures without judgement! • Encourage other moms! • Get helpful tips fr...

Does anyone use Gather 'Round Homeschool or know someone that does? Who do you print through that doesn’t cost a small fortune, but offers quality options?

I was using B&N because I prefer the spine book style for my teachers guides. GR has locked their printable files making them impossible to print 🧐 I can’t print at home right now, unfortunately. B&N has been my only option since we moved. This really makes the curriculum useless to us. Such a bummer since the the versatility and ease is why I fell in love with it 2 years ago!

Contrary to what the public school system says, no child is ever “behind!”

Don't believe the myth that homeschooled students will get behind.
Your homeschool is exactly where you need to be.

Worn out shoes and holey jeans are a sign of kids (and even teens) getting to be young! Video games, TV, even peers all influence our children to grow up too fast. Embrace the wear and tear! Let them get dirty, be adventurous, and explore the world around them.

This is how I'm greeted almost every time I get back home...

Sometimes it's frustrating.
Sometimes it's annoying.
Sometimes it's an inconvenience.

But when they don't run out to greet me...

Occasionally I wonder what mischief they are causing.
But usually my heart breaks, and I feel forgotten.

These small humans cause me a rainbow of emotions most days. I can't imagine what it would be like to never ride this emotional rollercoaster. They have definitely aged me a bit, but I wouldn't trade this chaos for anything... most days 😆

What is your welcomed chaos?

I did my ab / yoga workout outside this evening, and that beautiful sky was the cherry on top! I could have made all kinds of excuses:

• I already worked out this morning.
• It’s too warm out.
• I don’t like bugs.
• People will see me.
• My family will think I’m crazy…

Scratch the last one! That ship has sailed 😜

I feel so refreshed and relaxed at the same time 🥰 Glad I didn’t make those excuses!

Slackers Outdoor Adventures for the win!
Moving and settling in has us stuck at home. Luckily our new property offers some great options for adventure, but Momma still has to adult at some point during the week (whomp, whomp 😔) I found this Slackers Ninja Line at Menards, and let me just say the kids LOVE it! I’m pretty sure they are part monkey 😜

I’m posting this because:

1. I have a goal, and I WILL reach it by my 35th birthday!

and

2. This body has birthed 6 amazing humans! Yet I’ve been so ungrateful to and disappointed in my body lately. I mean, I’ve said some pretty hurtful things about it! I’ve failed to realize how much I’ve put it through, yet how absolutely amazing it has been to me. I’ve regained a respect and love for the skin I’m in. I don’t care if people don’t like how I look in this BIKINI, because... I LOVE IT! So, I will CONFIDENTLY display this amazing body as a trophy I’ve won for all the hard work, sacrifice, and pain it’s been through.

Love your body, ladies! It’s the only one you have!

My momma heart feels so honored to call him my son!

“Hey mom! Can I trim the bushes?”

“We don’t have hedge trimmers.”

“That’s okay! I’ll use your pruners.”

I almost said no. Not just because we didn’t have hedge trimmers. My mind told me he wouldn’t do it right, he’d mess up, or he’d only do half the job.

Then I realized... my 13yo son is outside, not in front of a screen. Even better he’s excitedly asking to do something constructive and helpful!

Actually, this young man (cue ugly cry 😫) has been helping me all day out of the kindness of his heart. Even tho I’ve managed a good front, there’s a lot going on behind the smile. He’s always been so empathetic, and can sense the slightest unrest. I’m so thankful for him today; I’m thankful for all my little humans today!

And honestly, he did an excellent job!
