be prepared for bad days

I think it all starts in my own heart but it seems that if I dread the start of a school day it is bound to be a bad one. To be honest it isn't the work, or the children, it is me. I wrote out the plan on Friday night relaxed on Sunday as planned but just didn't want to go back into the school week on Monday. And of course right on cue my kindergartner has no interest in learning, my toddler wants to plant get face right in front of everything my kindergartner needs to see, and the baby wants to take a nap. .. No not a nap; a snuggle together and nurse non stop nap. We take a break before we have even really begun. This is how the day will continue if I don't protect my heart from anger about how poorly we started. I write this to let you know that there are bad days, but the are also really good ones, don't lose heart. Stay strong, hold your tongue if need be, and remember to do all that you do to the glory of God, remembering to praise him in everything.

getting back to work

I have been thinking about whether I should start using this blog like I had originally thought I would... And I think I will give it a try. We are in kindergarten here and for a brief moment it looked as if next year we would stay in kindergarten but if both my son and I really buckle down we can finish the year up just as next year begins... No breaks for us at least not this year. To much happened. We added a new family member, and moved three times this school year which just makes me that much happier to say we are homeschooling. Can you imagine enrolling in school three times? So anyway watch for updates through out the summer as we try to make up for lost time.
