My energy is low today, which is honestly pretty typical for a Wednesday for me. 😴

Today, I am taking it slow and reading Outlander (I’m on chapter 25), finishing organizing my homeschool planner, and doing a little cooking with the kids.

Outlander

Okay, don’t laugh at me, but I have been reading Outlander since last summer! Maybe longer. 😆

I struggle to stay consistent with reading books. 😫 It frustrates me because I LOVE books!

I used to be able to read one novel (under 400 pages) in 1 – 2 weeks. Now, it takes me much longer.

I partly blame social media for zapping my attention span. 😏 Last year, I stopped using Instagram regularly for this very reason (also anxiety).

Now I just hop on social media every once in awhile. It has made a huge difference for me, so hopefully this summer I will finally finish reading Outlander! 😂

Pancakes

It’s a low energy day, so let’s make buttermilk pancakes! 🥞 Zephaniah (8) and Zhen (13) helped me flip the pancakes while I washed the dishes.

Another sunflower rescue

So far, we’ve “rescued” five sunflowers we found growing in between the sidewalk. We discovered another volunteer sunflower sprout that, unfortunately, was broken.

So, I put what was left of the stem in a glass jar of water. Now it’s growing new roots! 🌻😁
