Ain't No Mountain High Enough

We've began our slow accent into our second year of home schooling. The books arrived the crayons and pencils were purchased from Target and a smile came over my husbands face when I told him it felt odd not having to buy school clothes again this year. 


Ive worked hard at trying to create a " Home School Home" I've searched high and low for ideas, organized book cases and shelves and asked a dozen other moms" How do you do it?" . All have responded with some tips and a " You just do...you figure it out as you go don't worry  ..." Well as comforting and easy as that sounds, its just not me. 


I love the idea of being layed back and easy peasy but I love the idea of being organized and having order in my home and pretty colored bins all stacked in a row.

The problem is that Im neither! 


I am chaos and order with no rhyme or reason. I have good days and bad days, I have productive days and lazy days, fun days and work days, I skip days and I know how to pack 2 days into one...


So now what?


 HOW DO I DO IT?  

How do I run, my home, educate my children, keep the hubbins happy, wave hello to the neighbor and have some sort of life? How do I organize all the school supplies drag them out then put them away so that my dining room table doesn't look like cyclone came through my home. How do I make sure the kids do chores , get to piano lessons, dance lessons..gosh have I mentioned Bible study, quiet time for me and the Lord, getting my hair cut? and what about the laundry?

The mountain looms over me, it looks like it has 99 switch backs carved on its side and the summit is far beyond my ability and stamina to hike. I think about it and my eyes glaze over and my breathing gets shallow and in my head I hear " How am I going to do this Lord?"
