Living By Daily Grace

Jan. 11, 2009 - A Few Random Thoughts

I am planning school out for this week. But I needed a mental break so I thought I would blog for a moment. Most of this will be just random thoughts.

1. Underdog and I are considering moving to a year round school model here at our home. I already do this to a small extent. Typically we start earlier in the summer and take a longer break during the holiday season. I am bothered by the fact that I don't have much time during the day to spend time with my pups. we do school all morning, take a break for lunch, and then read for Tapestry and Science in the afternoon. Once the little puppies get up, everyone is beat so they simply run off to play. I am beat so I sit down to veg. Before we know it's time for dinner and evening chores and I have had no eyeball time with any of my kids. As I have prayed about it this week the Lord has opened my eyes to the possibilities that year rounds school have for us. It would permit us to start spreading out our assignments through the week. That in turn would allow us the afternoon to pursue the things that interest us most. . .mainly my children. I wouldn't have to plan any review time at the beginning of our semesters. We could take a break when it's needed. I don't like summer anyway so we can just keep going and stay out of the heat and away from the pool. (I hate the pool. Too many children to watch and too much flesh from which to protect my boys eyes and heart.) If anyone is sick there is room to rest and not get behind. I still haven't figured out the logistics of it all. I am praying about it and seeking wisdom. We'll see where He leads me.

2. We have a field trip tomorrow. I am excited and not excited. We're going to the Dallas World Aquariam. It's an awesome place to go. I am dredding the drive to Downtown Dallas. I am dredding a field trip with a 2 month old. I assume it will work out just fine. It's always does.

3. I discovered facebook today. It's, well, um, different. I think I like being able to see where different people are now. But there is a part of me that doesn't like being found. I realize that I have the choice to be on it. I don't know how much I will participate. I am finding people that I had forgotten all about. We were friends years ago. Obviously not the kind of friends that kept up with each other. Now I am seeing some of them in a whole new light. It's interesting to see the church friends who are so much churched anymore. It's interesting to see how many children people have now and whether they are married or not. It's already given me new people to add to my prayer list. I tend to be obsessive at times about the internet. I just hope it doesn't suck me in again. The only reason I was on tonight is because I couldn't get Pinky Poo to go to sleep. Her naps were really thrown off today with church. (BTW, I've changed her nickname from Finale to PInky Poo.) I have been holding her most of the evening and bouncing her on my shoulder while I surfed. Even nursing her didn't work. . .so I just surfed the net.

4. I am considering changing my blog over to blogger.com. No particular reason. It's a little easier to post over there. Underdog is over there. I have always wanted to have a family website. It might be easier to do that if we were both on the same blog. i need update my blog with PInky Poo pictures anyway.

Well, I am done. I must go finish school planning and then figure out how I am going to get out the door on time tomorrow morning. Shouldn't be a problem. When my kids are motivated to be somewhere they beat me to the car. HA!!!!!
