Happy Birthday
Today is a special day, not only for my country but as a mother.
My boy is 6 today.
And we have some playing to do.
Because I chose to play today, I cleaned the rest of the week (thanks Nicole). In fact, my old college roomie came over and scoured my house so that I could spend time with Ezra today. It was a glorious belated birthday gift.
I could show you a spotless bathroom . . . minus the toilet. And you all know about the #ineedanewtoilet campaign if you follow me on Twitter. A freshly swept and organized basement. A revitalized and de-cluttered school room.
However, I don’t have time.
Ezra is only 6 once. I’m gonna play.
So, The Core book club has been postponed. I’ll have two chapters ready for you next week (chapters 4 and 5). Check out my new Classical Education landing page and catch up on previous Core discussions.
Happy 4th of July to you!
Well Happy Birthday to Ezra! Today is my nephew’s 6th birthday as well!
The 4th is SUCH a great day to have a birthday! Jealous of my son! Grin! Thanks prego! Can’t wait to see you sometime soon!
Happy Birthday 6th Ezra!! (See a stick figure man with a beard wishing you Happy Birthday too!)
Love and hugs from Wyoming!
I wish I could hug you right now!
That is wonderful! Happy Birthday Ezra! And kudos to you momma for being so honest. I only read and follow those blogging mommas that give the rest of us an honest glimpse at how they manage their lives. I’m so grateful for that honest because for a while I thought I was such a failure for not keeping the house in perfect order or not playing with my babies enough. I couldn’t do both and I thought there was something wrong with me. The reality is that no one can unless they have a made or children old enough to contribute to chores. You are a blessing to many!!
You know, I felt this guilt for not posting the book club today . . . but then I thought — it is not like I am paid to blog about The Core . . . and going to get bagels and go on a bike ride was more important. And I didn’t blog yesterday, because I needed to get the house ready for guests . . . and there is NO WAY I could have gotten my house as clean as it is if my friend, Nicole, hadn’t of come over. Jennifer — she was here from 9:30 until 5 cleaning . . . we did chat a lot of that while working — but that is a LOT of cleaning. Sigh. So yes . . .if you see me blogging — then you know I am not cleaning. If I am not blogging then you know I have chosen life. It is a hard balance. Thanks for such a sweet and encouraging comment.
Happy Birthday, Ezra! So glad you were able to enjoy the day playing, Jodi!
Thanks girl!!!
