Whew! Finally made it to Friday. I don't know about anyone else but this week seemed to go on forever. Well ok not forever but a long time. I finally had a chance to meet with a woman who is considering homeschooling. We'd been trying to get together all week and something kept coming up. She will be pulling her daughter (14) out of public school so I agreed to meet with her to show her the paperwork. It all went well. Her husband isn't for pulling her out of school. His concern....how will she play sports? I asked them...in the long run is sports going to make her a well rounded educated person? If she is meant to be a professional athlete then the Lord will work out the details. She agreed. So now the rest is up to the Lord. The children have ants in their pants lately! They don't want to sit for their lessons. So we haven't done much this week. I think the most they learned this week was when we went yesterday to the prospective homeschooler's house. They have a farm. The kids were able to feed a horse, chickens, play with the dogs. She also invited the kids back for a horse riding lesson. They were very excited. I haven't been on a horse since I was a kid. Being at that farm yesterday made me long for my childhood days of growing up on a farm. We had a 30,000 chicken farm. Yes!! You read that right. When we had to move I was the only one of my siblings who was upset about it. I was and still am a country/farm girl at heart. Yesterday showed me how much I really miss it. We still live in rural america....but its no where near a farm. I said to my husband last night, "Wouldn't it be great to buy a small farm? We could get some chickens, pigs, ect." He didn't say NO! But the house we have now is his childhood home where his parents resided until they past away 4 and 5 years ago. So we will see. Maybe its just a pipe dream of mine.
