Homeschooling a Houseful

Just our day

So I start the day by getting up late and not getting a shower. I had to pick my husband up from work at 11 last night and it was all I could do to stay awake. Get home, go to bed and sweet baby Hilarie wakes before 1 am. Then again at 5, which after feeding her I really should have gotten up, but I fell back to sleep.

Yesterday was a beautiful 60 degree spring day. The boys played outside and came in dirty. I am so glad spring is here. Today, mostly rain and the boys are inside and they just keep moving. I am a bit tired so my tolerance for activity is a little, well just not there. God just keeps teaching me to be realistic in my expectations.

Dh works again tonight. Have I mentioned that he works 2 jobs. What a wonderful man I have who works so hard to provide for his family. My 17 year old daughter works at the Shopko, just six blocks away. She doesn't work tonight, so I don't have to take DH to work. Yipee!!! Looks like I might have to get up early tomorrow to take him though. Hollie works at noon and it is supposed to rain.

We delay driver's licenses for our children. We just think 16 is do young. We have established a 17 1/2 rule for getting the license and they have to pay for their own Driver's Education. So, by having that rule, it does mean that I get to experience the priviledge of taking my children to work and back. Hollie does like to walk if the weather is nice, so that is helpful. We have been hoping for a second car, which we thought we would have by now, but God has just not told us it is time yet.

Well, my brain is beginning to shut down, so I will bid good-night.
