Quiet moments and a Big Mouse
Today
was our no school day. Instead of hitting the books, we went to Chuckie
Cheese to celebrate the 3 year old's birthday. All his 3 year old
friends were there along with their bigger and/or smaller siblings.
They had a great time.
I realized how much I have changed from a first time mom to now a mom
of four children. I never would have let my first child out of my sight
at such places. Now, I position myself where I can see the door and
make sure they don't leave the building! I even forgot all about my
baby today. While setting the table, I figured I should go lay my eyes
on the 3yo. While looking for him, my dear friend handed me my baby. I
forgot she had him!! Anyway, we made it through the day without any
kidnappings and missing children!
I probably was tired from staying up late last night looking for a
house in Georgia. That's right. If you are a reader of my blog, you are
the first to know (even before my real life friends) that we are moving
to Goergia this fall. By Thanksgiving, we hope to be in our new home.
Dh called yesterday and said that his contract will not be renewed
after November. We've wanted to move to Georgia for about a year now,
but we weren't sure of the timing. I prayed last month for God to show
us what to do and when. I see this as Him kicking us out of Maryland
and into our new home.
Speaking of yesterday, we had a really good school day. Although we
began late, we finished all our subjects and had some quiet time. Just
before naps, we were all laying on the sofa. I had finished reading a
library story, when I felt so sleepy! The older kids ran and got some
blankets and pillows in hopes that I would fall asleep. (They probably
wanted me to sleep so that they can play a computer game!) We all
snuggled up under some blankets on the sofa with the AC on full blast,
and just kinda sat there, quietly. It was nice, having all my babies
piled up on the sofa pretending to sleep. Actually, I did dose off for
a few laying next to the 3 year old.
Ahhhh, these moments are why I love home schooling. In order for us to
have a great home school day tomorrow, I better sign off here, do the
dishes and go to sleep.
