Today was perfect. I woke up and exercised, fed the kids breakfast, we did our morning routine in record time. Then we started into school. I read to my son about Archimedes “Eureka” moment, we recreated it in our kitchen with a tub of water. Afterwards we worked on our Greek vases. In the afternoon we went to a friend’s house to swim while the moms discussed our homeschool co-op. Perfection. Haha!

She has some chronic medical issues that no one can quite put their finger on, but we know every x-ray of her tummy shows a dilated bowel-we just don’t know why. Boo-boo spent quite a bi...
