I'm back

Did you miss me?  :)  I knew this blogging thing would be short-lived.  Actually, Nathan has been insanely busy at work the past 6 weeks, which makes me insanely busy at home.  So I just haven't taken the time to update our blogs.  We're in survival mode!  I promised him I'd try to stay up until he got home tonight, though, so I'm passing time this way.

Here's where we're at.  I have a couple weeks of homeschool posts that I've started, but haven't finished and therefore haven't published.  I'm not sure whether or not I'll publish them at this point.  We made it to about Week 6 in this homeschool preschool thing when I just plain didn't have the energy to do it anymore.  And the time I use to spend planning (in the evening) was taken up with trying to be both mommy and daddy from sun up to sun down.  I'm still in that boat and very little in this schooling area is being accomplished.  I feel bad about it and somewhat of a failure.  Adeline asks all the time to do preschool.  We make small attempts, but nothing like before.  I think that's what makes me feel the worst - she wants to be doing the work, but I'm not doing my part.

I've started to get more concerned about trying to accomplish preschool at home after the baby arrives.  I'm starting to think I've lost my mind and that Adeline would be better off attending an actual preschool.  I did some calling around last week and came up with few results.  The two preschools in town that I like are both full, the other preschool in town is a joke.  A very nice preschool in a neighboring town has an opening, but only in the afternoon - which I refuse to interrupt nap time for the two little ones three days a week in the name of preschool.  There is one more preschool that finally called me back today, but of course I missed the call.  I'll try them again tomorrow, but I'm not sure how I feel about that school.  My mom assures me Adeline will be fine if absolutely nothing happens in terms of preschool.  I'm sure she would be, but again, she's so eager to learn that I feel we need to do something - whether it ends up being at a center or at home.  So that's where I'm at.  I'll update again when I have time, energy, and something to say.  :)
