Fatigue

I guess it is because I am having my 6th, or maybe my increasing age, but I have been so tired.  Night, when I would normally be online, finds me supine in bed at a very early hour.  I just slogged my way through Emma, by Jane Austen during this prone time.  Not my favorite of her works, but a good vocabulary builder. 

Speaking of books, I have begun selling Usborne.  They have many Spanish titles at a good price, which we can use in ministry, as well as a resource I can offer the few other homeschooling missionaries in our field.  If anyone would like to order from me, simply click on the highlighted word above.

Scott has been busy in Mexico, he has a foundation on the first house, which will serve as our residence/guest house until we can get a second one built.  We are very excited about offering missions opportunities to families with such easy access to California.   We have learned so much about the Lord, and ourselves by living outside of our culture.  Even now, living in the U.S, but within miles of the border, I feel that I am in a different culture.  Always, everywhere there are opportunities around us to shine like lights in a dark world.

Praying for strength and rest for you!

We do Usborne science (through Sonlight) and LOVE it! Hope your side business does well-- and to have spanish titles is a huge blessing.

Pregnancy is harder with age. I hope you are feeling rested soon.

Jun. 26, 2006 - yep, I know what you mean

I really liked your last post about the rapidly expanding waistline.....not enough to look cute, just chubby and clothes that don't fit. I heard that the more you have, the faster your body gets into pregnancy mode and boy is that true. I will pray that you can get some rest. I know how neccesary that is right now.

Well, I came accross your blog while looking for exactly this - homeschooling in a different culture. My two are 33months and 13 months. I still have time . . .right? Anyway - your on your 6th Woo Hoo! I am always feeling fatigue and I only have two!

And blessings for you. We have friends that live just accross the boarder, so when we need to say the night we have a room ready for us. It is SO NICE! So nice! That is a true blessing.
