As we get ready for a hopefully upcoming remodel, I have been in constant spring cleaning mode. Unfortunately it is slow, but I am quite pleased with the progress I made today with everything else going on. I have a nice load to meet up with the Goodwill truck tomorrow, a full tote of clothes for the upcoming consignment sale and a large bag of stuff that just didn't make the cut and will meet it's doom in the trash can first thing tomorrow. Among all the little things I find tucked in the corners are an amazing amount of spiders!! Most of them are brown and HUGE!! Thankfully most of them are contained to the basement, but few have managed to find their way upstairs. I honestly must say I am looking forward to the cold weather and the lack of spiders!
I have spent most of my nights studying and preparing to teach the girls
preschool and kindergarten starting next month. I never imagined it
would take so much time for me to learn how to teach them, but the
online courses I am following are teaching to un-learn how I learned in school and I am encountering a paradigm shift in how to educate as I dig into the fundamentals of the program. Though I must admit I am very impressed so far.
A & I had their first camp-out of the year with daddy in the backyard tonight. They were so excited! Daddy set up the tent, we got the sleeping bags out and roasted marshmallows in the fire-pit. It is the perfect night for a camp-out, though hopefully it won't be too cold. As summer comes to a close, the evenings are getting cooler and is supposed to be down to 50 degrees tonight. I'm have to admit that I love having my window open at night for the cool air and so thankful that A is not having respiratory problems because of it, as she has in the past.
I made a appointment for A with a local naturopath. I have been doing what I can and we have been seeing the holistic practitioner less and less for several different reasons, it appears as though A is getting better, especially with her asthma, but I honestly don't know what I'm doing, most of it is a stab in the dark. I have heard amazing things about the gal we have an appointment with from those in the allergy community and am looking forward to someone pointing us in the right directly instead of, well... let's try this... or how about we try this and see if it works. I'm fed up with trying stuff that might work or that we have to keep doing over and over.
