Hello,

 I haven't been on here in a long time. Looking over my last few blogs is pretty leaves me even more down-hearted than I was already. :(

 It seems like my life just repeats. I do good for a little while, then boom, something goes wrong, actually not just someTHING, that would mean one thing... thats too simple for my family. It always seems like at least 3 or 4 major things go wrong. Well thats where I am AGAIN. If you read this please do pray for my family.

We recently moved into a home owned by my hubbys aunt. We agreed to fix it up in exchange for rent for now. The place was pretty run down. We thought this would be great, and in many ways it is, but right after we moved, my husband lost his job. So much for that "extra" cash we thought we would be able to get around to having.

My blood pressure is un-stable (I check it at home) but w/o any health insurance there is little I can do. I do get some meds through the drug programs and I can go to a free clinic every now and then. Which I am thankful for, but this is not the same as being followed by a regular Dr. Most days I am just achy and tired. Good days are few and far between.  I feel pretty useless when there is SO much work to be done around here.

As for homeschooling, on an up note, my daughter Rebecca did graduate this year. Our homeschool support group put together a AWESOME ceremony and also a dinner/dance on another day. My parents drove down from Pa and were SUPER impressed with it all, including meeting those awesome other homeschool kids. They have never put down my homeschooling, but it was nice to give them a little "proof" that it can be done and done well !

I know the Lord wants us to continue in homeschooling but it is hard to feel very confident when it seems everything is against me. Well thats it for today. I hope I can keep up on the more, it really is good to get my feeling out here among ppl who understand.

Lots of Love,Carole
