My husband and I are going out to dinner tonight (related to his work). I haven't left the children with a sitter in 2 years (we usually use Grandparents). I've never met the young lady who is coming, but she came on a recommendation of my sister's friend from church. Needless to say...I'M NERVOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My oldest (or is it eldest) child is at school and I miss her. So do my other two children (ages 5 and 3). We homeschooled the first part of the year, then I started feeling incapable and as if I was ruining her educational future, so I enrolled her back in public school. It's not going well...SHE is doing GREAT, and is making straight A's, but the homework load and project load is ENORMOUS!!!!!!!!!!! She's only in the 4th grade! Poor child has no time to play, bake or sew...all things of which she truly loves to do. I am definately going to continue to be in deep prayer about this. I know that God will provide an answer. I acatually think he already has...I'm just not listening to Him!! Aren't I a stubborn little sheep!!!!!!!!!!! |

This is so funny...me trying to blog (giggling at myself)!!!!!!! I'm really not sure what I'm doing so bear with me. If I reply to your comments, you may or may not get them (ha-ha)! I just realized that I posted a blank post...how did that happen? Can someone tell me how to reply directly to someone who leaves a comment for me????
love, joy, peace, PATIENCE, kindess, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control |

Well...I've never "blogged" before, but here goes. Just want to say "Hi", and "Thanks" to you all for taking the time to share your way of life. We are homesteaders at heart. Two years ago my family (Dear Husband and three precious children) moved to "the country". Since then we have acquired three cats and a dog. Maybe more animals to follow in the future? We are in the planning stages of our first "real" garden, still deciding what to do about our children's education (public/private school versus homeschooling), and just praising God everyday for the "small" blessings and wonders He sends us daily. We have a long way to go to truly be living a simply and serenely as we would hope for. Thank you for providing a place to share my thoughts, receive advice, and to just enjoy and read about the fruits of others labor. Shay in Enoree, South Carolina |
