Well, I did it!! I have been looking at other people s blogs and finally decided to do one. I have been around the homeschool block. I was raised by my grandparents, and at the tender age of 8 years of age, I was removed from our little towns tiny school and thrown into the wilderness of homeschooling. I was shipped to mars! You see, back in the 80's, if you said homeschooled, the person you were talking to took several steps backward and repeated your statment as if you had just told them you were an alien- really! So my journey began and here I am. Well, it really took alot longer than that, but that is for another day! So I find myself where my dear grandmother found herself way back in the day. But there are a lot of differences between the path she had to take and the path I now find myself on. It is much more worn! It has been made clear by those great pioneers in the early 80's who endured everything from the "Alien" treatment to problems form their local authorities and so on. But I know I am blessed and in this venture. Even on those days when you say to yourself,"What am I doing!!", at the end of the day when my children are snugly tucked in their beds and are ready to be prayed with, I know that if I fail at everything else except for grounding them in the Word and teaching them about Jesus and helping them to become who God created them to be, I have succeeded! Only through Christ who strengthens me. And He made me ME! Until tomorrow- or the next day! LOL   Niki
