School or Not

It's amazing how school goes around here.  I feel like I'm constantly making schedules, tweaking schedules, and making lesson plans.  Just when I think I've got everything working well, something happens to change or interrupt.  I think it's God keeping me humble.

Last week, my two older boys spent the week with my parents, so of course we had no school.  I had everything ready to get back into the swing of things when they came home.  We started yesterday morning with Bible and then math, and things went very well.  Just after math, we heard "honk honk" from the driveway.  A good friend had brought her children over for a visit unexpectedly.  We hadn't had a visit from them in probably three months, so we were all very happy.  While they were here, Nicholas (who had a cold) went to bed and fell asleep.  He slept for two hours, waking up just a few minutes after our friends left.  He had a fever then, so I couldn't possibly make him do any work.

Today, we have an appointment this afternoon, I had to sit on hold with the phone company for quite a while this morning (our phone service has been static-only since Saturday!  I called them from the cell phone, which gets horrible single here at the house), and all three kids still have colds!  So I don't see much point in trying to do any school work.

Nicholas did ask some Bible questions this morning that I intend to answer, so at least we'll cover the most important subject.

It just seems funny to me sometimes how all my visions and plans never come to pass.  It reminds me to put my faith in Him and not in the plans of my own mind.

The good thing is: your children are sick and missing school, yes. But they are not in a school that is moving on without them and hope they catch up when they get back.

I have been at this for a very long time and all you can do is your best. On good days, get as much done as you can and on the other days, just roll with the punches, lol.....

Good luck and I hope the children are well soon.
