Day 68

17th February 2022

Walking Fail 😕

It was late afternoon when we heard a clap of thunder. ⚡☁

“Quick kids, put your shoes on! Let’s take Pepe for his walk before the rain comes.”

I put Pep on his lead & we walked down the side path.

I kind of skip jumped off the end of the path onto the grass & that’s when it happened.

My foot landed in a hole left after some gardening work & my ankle made a grinding sound & I went down like a sack of potatoes. 😢

So much pain.

Honestly, last April I broke my jaw after a faint & now this?!

Feeling a bit low actually.

Can’t bear weight on it.

X-ray tmorrow.

Sorry for being a useless daily blogger. We have just over 1000 readers now & I hate letting you down, especially twice in a row. 😔

Last night overcome with vomit & tonight potentially broken ankle.

I’ll be back tomorrow.

I pinky promise. X

PS, kids had a great day.

The Challenge: Home school for 1 year while not losing sanity or love for children and/or husband.
Contenders: Mila 8yrs, Lincoln 10 yrs, Me (Mum), Liam (Dad), Pepe (dog)
Home School Days: 200

This blog was inspired by the film Julie & Julia, starring Meryl Streep & Amy Adams.

Julie decides she will take her love of cooking to the next level by cooking every recipe in Julia Childs French cookbook, in one year! 500 & something fancy, technical recipes!! While working full time!

Julie writes a daily blog about her time in the kitchen for herself & other amateur cooks who may, or may not be, reading along. You gotta watch it (http://thehomeschoolyear.com/about/).  Or read it here. (http://thehomeschoolyear.com/book)

I loved that she wrote every day. I loved hearing about her small everyday frustrations, with the recipes & with life. It really inspired me to throw myself into something.

The timing was perfect as we have just decided to homeschool our children as a lifestyle choice and I thought…Cool! A daily blog will be perfect!

There must be other families out there wondering if there’s another way to live? Another way to do ‘family life’?

If you’re here, then hello & welcome aboard! Please feel free to sit back & watch it all unfold. Put the kettle on & check in with us each night to see what went down and how we all got over the line. I’m sure we’ll find our rhythm, right?

Are you a homeschool family? If you’re watching the wheels fall off this thing, I’m open to your emails or comments any time. I would love them! I am very friendly, & I could use the help.

Ok, come hell or high water….I’m in. A daily blog, for 12 months. I’ll be right, here.

Kindly, Lisa x

Can we be friends?!
