You know what's lightened my life recently?
Homeschool!
I internalize stress. Frequently. I think that's what caused my appendicitis. After my surgery, I was bombarded with late schoolwork, and the term ended the Friday after I came back (I came back on a Monday). It was possibly the most stressful week of my life. After that experience, I just decided I needed to get out of the mess. So I started homeschool.
I swear, this has been the best decision I have ever made. I am so happy about life! People tell me that I look much happier and more smiley. I'm not weighed down with worry!
Dear homeschool,
In the words of Debby Boone:
Yooou light up my liiife!
You give me hope!
To carry on!
Yooooou light up my daaayyys!
and fill my nights with song!
