And that’s exactly what I have been doing.
In sure u don’t have to tell you that life gets hectic even with plans, structures, and rituals. When you have 12 children like I do, sometimes all of that can go out the window at any moment.
I am supposed to blog every Sunday. I have it on my calendar. I have an alarm set and everything, yet here I am. I think it’s been a month. 🤦🏾♀️
It’s not like my business blog, I can time those out. In fact, I do for about a month at a time. And I blog on their daily. The difference is, on Herr, I blog from what my experience is, specifically for that week. With the business blog, it’s based on my knowledge. Plus, the day gets away from me really fast.
With that being said…. what’s up, friends?!
There is so much going on. I pulled the children from public school, so I’m back to homeschooling. I love the flexibility of it, as do the children, BUT they miss the getting out aspect of it, so I have been more intentional about taking daily trips and incorporating it in their curriculum.
In addition, I grew accustomed to having the day to focus on my business, so juggling those too has been a new challenge since I was able to put more on my plate I am now trying to delegate more. I hired someone, but it didn’t work out, so I’m back to square one, kinda.
It’s not stressful, just a lot, but the business is still moving along quite nicely. In fact. I had the opportunity to speak with Atlantic Beach today. It is such an honor, too, because it is the first and only black owned beach in America. If I could lock in with them, I would be so elated. I mean, this place is a legacy. A pearl, a black pearl. If you don’t know about them you really need to look them up. Chefs kiss. And, I consulted with the city of Florence and Jacksonville to help me prepare for this. It’s going to be amazing.
The children are well. Ava and Ian need to get surgery, but they will be fine. I meed to make a doctor appointment for Kera because her eyes ate turning red but not like conjunctivitis. It’s a different red, so I am a little bothered by that.
Isaiah is set to graduate next month, and I am so proud of him. Bella is doing well with her college courses. I feel that o tainted her by putting her on school. High school, to be specific. She embraced a culture that us just not her. She quickly became popular but lost her own identity. Now, it’s lashes, nails, and weave. She was so content with her natural look, and she was the priority now it’s her friends, and I hate it so much. I have to figure this one out because not only is it making me sad for her, but it’s hurting my pockets.
McRush started a transport company, so we are also working on that, plus he assists I’m Rush Consulting Firm.
Mt Marine is flourishing and preparing to get on the real estate game, which is exciting to watch him grow. I love it.
I have been contemplating getting weight-loss surgery. I put myself on a 3 month plan to lose 30 pounds. If I fail at that. I’m getting the duodenal surgery. McRush doesn’t like it, and that’s why I set a 3 month goal. Otherwise, I would have been under the knife. For me, it’s hard to prioritize my weight-loss because im.always going and no matter how much I plan to wake up early, exercise, or eat specific things, I simply get lost on the sauce if life. I’m working on it, though. I’ve lost about 10 pounds so far, so I’m off to a great start. Let’s pray that I can keep the momentum.
That’s about it. OH! I and a couple of other moms started a podcast called chaos and chalkboards where we discuss being a big family, homeschooling, and all the nasty looks and stupid questions we get. Keep an eye out for that.
What have you been up to?
