Well we have made the decision to put the kids in public school next year. As I hope many of you understand it was a very difficult decision... 2 out of the 3 are looking forward to it. The other is warming up to the idea. They have to go at the end of the month for their grade placement testing. I'm trying to not be too concerned about it and see what the results show. On the plus side it is a small school system. (650 students K-12) It's just a few miles down the road and I plan to drop them off and pick them up most of the time. I'm planning to remain working part-time, so I can be involved with them at school. (Maybe I'll sign up for substitute teaching. Do you think a ps wants a former homeschool mom as a substitue? LOL) Although I'm considering FINALLY finishing my bachelor's degree. I really want to get that done. Right now since I have to work--and our lives are not as flexible as they once were--it's the best choice to make sure they are getting a consistent education. We have given thema strong foundation (educational & biblical), but we did not accomplished near what I wanted to this year and so that is where the decision came to enroll them. I know I will miss them and have to adjust--but it does give me a since of relief since my plate has been so full lately. Gosh, I will miss the comraderie of the homeschool moms. Our family is in a new season/chapter of life. My hubby and I feel so much more at ease than we did a year ago. There are many things we miss about ministry but the stress is not one of them. We are getting further away from our "hurt feelings"--but continue to look to the Lord for full healaing--it just requires a little more time. (As some of you may know being hurt in the church environment can be the worst kind. However, God is not the one who hurt is--he is faithful.) Overall, life is good. We love the house and where it's located. We've paid off a couple of debts! (Woohoo!) We have consistent income (thank the Lord). George is serving as a teacher in our church. We are beginning to dream again and looking forward to the future. (That's a blessing to be able to have hopes and dreams again.) I'm not sure but I've been considering moving my blog towards the end of summer...since we won't be "homeschoolers" anymore... I'll have to look and see what other blog sites are out there. God Bless and thanks for reading. I will try to write a few more times before the end of summer. Thanks for your support, prayers, and comments over these last few years. PS My grandfather remarried this weekend. He's happy and doesn't have to be "alone" anymore--that makes me happy. I just wanted to share that with those who remember my grandmother I lost almost two years ago. |
