Packing

On May 28th we will be leaving on a three week "geology field trip" which will kick off our "roadschooling" adventures. Athena became obsessed with geology this past fall and the interest grew.

She has become a little mosquito buzzing in my ears, begging me to pack.... BEGGING for two weeks.

I look forward to educational opportunities with my children but it doesn't mean I have to look forward to the packing, right?

Adventures of an Oppressed Housewife

I can't believe it's been three years since I have actively used Blogger! Life with two kids, a hospital stay on my part and a 50 day NICU stay, moving a few times and adjusting to homeschooling has taken a toll on my blogging motivation.

So much has changed in our lives over the past three years keeping our old blog seemed strange but I wanted to keep part of it so we stuck with the oppression themed title.

My maternal grandmother many years ago told me not to get married until I was 25. We had Athena when I was 22... which meant, in her eyes, I was doomed to suffer a life of oppression as a housewife.

Thankfully, my oppressor is pretty dang cool and "forces" me to homeschool and interact with our kids which has led to amazing adventures as a housewife, mother and now homeschooler. I look forward to a whirlwind of adventures in the coming years with him and the offspring we created.
