Well, another week down, but I don't know if we should count this one towards our hsing journey or not. Kenne did 2 days of hs but then we just quit for the rest of the week. BUT WAIT! Don't get your knickers in a twist. (I have always wanted to say that!) She participated in Science Camp this week through the public library system. FREE and she loved it. Wow! This year's focus was Chemistry, so every afternoon from 1 to 4 she went and hung out with 19 other boys and girls and completed these awesome science experiments. She really had a blast.
Oh, and one more great hurdle was jumped this week. We have officially (as opposed to unofficially?) committed to hsing the twins, NOW! Their first "official" day of hs will be this Monday. We are very excited and they are really into it. They were feeling left out and while they wanted to go to school to see their friends, each day they would ask why they couldn't stay home and homeschool, too. Evidently God did want them home because he allowed me to get my brain wrapped around everything and he guided me towards a very workable schedule so that I can teach each child, do my chores AND work some. Gotta love that. So folks that are clients . . . .please know that I have changed my office hours. They are now 1:00 until 4:00, nights and weekends by appointment.
Ok – what else, what else? Hmmmm. We are really doing great. Truly. It takes me a bit longer to realize that we do NOT have to stress about scheduling but once it does hit me upside the head, then all is good (like this past week! Why the heck was I going to make Kenne go thru basically 12 hours of school if you count the science camp plus the work she had to do before and after just to stay "on schedule?" Oh – and I realized that when we go to Gettysburg in September I am NOT going to do any hsing curriculum stuff, but instead focus on the experience itself.
We are just so blessed to have this opportunity to be with our girls. I told Tim, Oh darn! I forgot to buy a lottery ticket. Oh well! Anyway, I told Tim that my main reason for wanting to win the lottery is so he can stay home with us and quit having to work so hard to provide for us. He is missing out on so much of their growth that it just depresses me. Now, before you get all sappy, ask me if it depresses me enough to make me want to go and work a real, 9 to 5 kinda job so he can stay home with the girls. The answer to that is HECKARONI NO!!!!!!! Love him, mean it. . . . .but I am so selfish that I do not want to give up my time with the girls.
Ok – well, off to bed now. We had a very successful yardsale at my office in Wake Forest today and I am beat. Not only do I have a "heat" headache, but I am just plain exhausted.
Love to all and God bless!
