I cannot understand how it is possibly December right now. I’m somewhere back in September, and I can’t seem to figure out how why everyone is talking about Advent and Christmas already.
Also I have less than a week until we celebrate Kate’s tenth birthday.
Ten.
My girl will be ten years old. Tissues please.
We finished Term 1 of Ambleside Online with an exam/review week, two weeks ago. And then all my well-meaning December term plans fell flat last week with a whole bunch of other stuff that needed to get done. So we see what this coming week will do for us.
It has been a good little house for us. It has taught me to think carefully how I use each space. Where we live next has not been decided. We are staying close to the same area, perhaps moving closer to my husband’s work or maybe just moving a few miles away. We will have to see what’s available come spring. Meanwhile we have been packing, painting, and purging. I am keeping lists for myself of what needs to be cleaned out so that I’m only packing things we actually need to keep. It’s been very freeing, but really I purge quite often so it’s amazing how fast things creep back in that we do not need.
