I went to my favorite church night of the month.  The devotional and children's church night.  We adults sing, pray, praise God, and when someone feels like saying something -- they are free, no, encouraged to do so.  I never say much of anything because I'm just like that.  I try to blend in, I don't like to bring attention to myself.  I've always been that way.

I have to say -- I AM starting to feel better about myself.  Even though my posts don't really reflect the changes I am going through, striving for, they are happening.  I am almost back to the place that I wanted to find again.  So, I'm glad I decided to draw attention to myself for once.  By committing to change in front of fellow blog readers.

I wrote a letter to the building commission about not wanting a road built a few inches from my house.  And believe it or not, I actually DELIVERED said letter right to the desk secretary!  Go me!  You see, writing the letter doesn't surprise myself, but actually following through with it does!

I reworked our school schedule too -- it may not be as "impressive" as the old one was, but this one gets the job done while still focusing on the Charlotte Mason philosophy in many aspects.  I would LOVE to completely follow the Ambleside curriculum in its entirety -- but I am too worried that I MAY have to put Emme in school due to financial reasons at some point -- and they are not going to care how well versed she is in Plutarch, Greek myths, and the history of England.  So I had to give up some of the curliques and squigglys for straight lines.  That doesn't change my great respect of the CM methods and I hope to find a way to involve more of her teachings into our curriculum at some point. 

Reworking our schedule is going to help me both inwardly and outwardly. 

Now I need to find a daily/weekly cleaning schedule that I can somewhat stick to.  That is my next assignment!  (yes, I already made one, but it just doesn't work!  lol)

Go you for being an active citizen! I'm so horrible and I don't know who is running for what here :( I watch the commercials, and I say "Just tell me if you are a Republican or a Democrat so I can cheer or boo this commercial!", lol!
