Do you get the winter blahs? Seriously! Every stinking year… January and February are so hard for me to get motivation or want to do anything. This year, it started out ok. The beginning of January seemed like I would be fine. Then the end of January hit and something was off. I did add the Usborne Books & More business which has added a new commitment. Not in a bad way. Actually it is a lot more prosperous than I think I have ever been with a DS/MLM business. But it is also what comes natural to me. Books and kids… kinda a no brainer for me. But still it was something else I added to my plate.

February hit though and life got hard. I don’t know why. I don’t know what changed. I didn’t want to clean. I didn’t want to craft (What?! I know…) I didn’t really even want to get out of bed. Yet, children needed to be fed, and schooled, and shuttled places… Groceries needed to be bought, orders had to go out, but I still just wanted to be in bed. I definitely think I have a mild Seasonal Affective Disorder thing going on. I am like this more winters than not. Being cooped up because of the never ending snow, rain, and ice this month has been horrible. However, the kids loved the snow! Mermaid even sledded for the first time and she LOVED it. She is such a little dare-devil. She may get many things from me, that is not one of them.

We even took an extra week of homeschooling off just because. I couldn’t motivate myself, how could I think I could motivate them. One of the joys of homeschooling though. If I don’t want to, we don’t have to. If they don’t want to, we don’t have to. Snow day? Take off. Finally a sunny day? Take off. Family coming to visit? Take off. We always catch up. We always finish. Some years just look a little longer. But it is one of the reasons we do what we do.

But I just wanted to remind you all, even if you are having a hard day, hard week, hard month. The warmer days are right around the corner. Things are opening back up. Life is going on. Don’t forget to live it! Happy March! May your spring bring life back into your blahs!
