I'm really lacking in Christian fellowship. My husband says its because I expect too much of people. I am not a high-maintenance friend. I don't have to talk to a friend on the phone everyday or go out often. However, he says that I expect to find someone who believes like I do. 

For one reason, as a homeschooler mother, only another homeschooler mother is ever going to understand my life. Not that I can't be friends with non-homeschoolers. My closest friends are not homeschoolers. But, in those friendships we don't discuss homeschooling. We discuss their educational methods, but I tiptoe around the subject of homeschooling. Quite simply, they won't understand. What's the point of bringing up the struggles, the joys, the problems that need solutions when they don't have the foggiest idea of what it means to homeschool?

I know I sound like a complainy-whiny woman. I just really want a local, real-life, homeschooling mom that I can talk to. I need to share battle stories, get new ideas. I need to find a kindred spirit. Oh yes, I'm refering to Anne of Green Gables!

Of course, there is the homeschool group that I joined this year. We went to one park day, and it was so stressful. All of the moms gathered in one area of the park and let their kids go play in another.  I couldn't take care of the little ones, watch my oldest, and have conversation with the other moms.

Okay, enough whining....God has my back. He knows what I need and He'll be faithful to provide for me.
