A Busy Week Ahead.

I have mixed feelings about this upcoming week. Will I be able to survive and hold it all together, or will I turn it into a complete disaster and crash hard right on my face? Last week I got so far behind on all of my house work. I kept up on the basics like dishes and putting toys away but I didn't do laundry at all. The reason was, I did all of that corn. It took a lot out of me to freeze 19 dozen ears of corn by myself. So this week I get to play catch up on everything. Normally that isn't a big deal, I can handle house work. My problem is, that we're also starting with Carysn's schooling in the morning, and Chad has inventory at work this week so he works Mon-Fri. That means he leaves at 6:30 in the morning and I wont see him again until Fri at 9:30pm. So will I be able to hold it together this week without his moral support? It's going to be a tough challenge. Some of the things I will be doing this week,
Carsyn's school. I'm excited to get started with this. Not only do I love the school we have him in but I'm also adding things to the curriculum. He's going to learn Sewing, Scrapbooking, cooking, Wood Working with Chad and we're having him do more reading from the Book of Mormon. I'm so proud of him. He's only supposed to be a 2nd grader in regards to his age but he is going to do 3 rd grade work and 4th grade math. He did his Math assignment on Friday and he gets to skip 24% of the work because he already knows it.
Corbyn, I don't know what to say about Corbyn, he is so eager to learn but I will definitely have to teach it in a different way. But for starters he needs to get his alphabet and numbers down. He's got his colors and shapes So we're off to a good start. Last year I noticed that every time I did homework with Carsyn, Corbyn always ran and got flash cards or a book or something. So this year I made him his own "School Binder" We filled it with alphabet coloring pages and numbers and some other things that he can do for his home work.
So we will see how we do this week regarding school,
The goals I have for myself to do this week to just get caught up is, Mow the back yard, Make cover pages for the boys' binders, get the garage put back together (I have some more scrapbooking items to move) so I can park in there again, get the laundry caught back up. I usually keep it to the point where I only have to wash 1 load a day, but I'm really behind. I need to make some long over due Thank You cards. and get my Visiting Teaching cards made. Run to Walmart for a few items and clean up the pantry.

So I ask again, Will I be able to hold it together, or will I fall hard?

I'm going to miss Chad so much. I hate how he can't come home every night. But it's a sacrifice that has to be made for our family. And I know other Families have it a lot worse. I feel blessed.
