I also get so overwhelmed this time of year. All the weeds seem to pop up at once and I'm not really harvesting anything yet so there's mostly just work and no reward! It's hard to find the motivation for sure.
Over all the incredible work of planning, planting, trimming, weeding and landscaping at your beautiful homestead, one thing in your post spoke to me, especially.
As a rambunctious, never-enough-to-do, run-fast-never-walk, read fast, eat fast, and test-my-parents’-patience, kind-of-bratty, almost middle child, I thought you might be a little less trepidatious by knowing what happened once I started school.
I was the most well-behaved, polite, engaged, eager-to-help others, academically-inspired little girl.
My third grade teacher wrote on my report card that “Leslie is the best student I’ve ever had…”. In a split third-fourth grade class, my desk was moved, almost immediately, to the fourth grade side…I thrived.
What we are like at home does not always translate to how we act and relate to others at school. Away from siblings and parents, in a fresh new learning environment, the impetus for a child to achieve and exhibit different behaviors can be unexpected!
Try not to worry too much about your child adapting to change; she may just surprise you, too!
Actually so nice to read that it is not just me who is slightly scared to look at the garden because there is so much to do now!
I so agree about June’s garden overwhelm! Still, it seems the important things get done somehow 😊
