sometimes i find myself sitting here much like tonight so completely depleted, just staring at the computer screen saying to myself "okay, you need to blog now. what are you going to blog about? come on... you've been doing this for awhile now. just go, start, right now!" and there i sit, just totally blank, staring at my screen. nothing prepared or in mind. could it be writers block? i have never considered myself a writer, so i'd like to say no. uninspired? maybe. just tired and needing some good old fashioned sleep? most likely. i'm going to go with number three tonight and get some rest.

but before i go...

- birdie was pushing the cart at the thrift store this evening and was saying "WOOK AT ME! I PUSH IT. WOOK!" that little sentence just melted me into a little puddle on the floor. she is so darn cute!

- i finally hung something on our newly painted living room walls. i thrifted a round beveled mirror the other day and we hung it hoping that it would inspire me to hang the rest of the art and pictures that we have. but no, i still can't do it.

- i get a lot of home schooling questions via my blog and through email but recently i have been getting more than ever before. questions like what type of home schoolers we are and how we do it. which curriculum we use, our schedule, questions about socialization, etc... i have stayed pretty clear for the most part about our home schooling journey for a few reasons. some of those being unsolicited advice, judgement, closed mindedness and just plain old rude and sometimes even mean comments about our decision. these things have caused me to keep that part of our lives separate from what i share here on the blog, but i have realized that there are so many more people that have real genuine questions. people that really want to find out more about it for themselves and their families. i think i will put together a little Q & A post on our home schooling experience. it is a GIANT part of our lives after all and it seems silly not to share some of it here from time to time. i am looking forward to sharing a little more about this part of us. it is something that i am very passionate about. feel free to bring on the questions and i will do my best to answer them in a future post.

okay... off to bed now.
