I wish I was a computer!

    If I was a computer, I would have more memory installed.  Any memory would be fine!  They used to say you lost your memory when you got older, so what's my problem?!?  I'm not even 40!! 
    It seems the only way I can make an attempt at remember-
ing something is to write it on my hand.  Right now, I have six things written on my hand that I need to remember to do or deal with.  I call it my "palm pilot".  Whenever someone tells me something, they automatically tell me to write it on my hand, even my own kids!  I would really love a personal assistant who could follow me around and remind me of phone calls to make, appointments to keep, and things to do. 
    Anyone out there interested in a job?!?

A Title?? Confessions of an infrequent blogger....!

    A title??  They actually want me to entitle a random post about...well, really about nothing.  I don't have a lot of time to post on here or read other people's blogs.  But when I do, I'm always blown away by how everyone else seems to post on a regular basis.  I guess maybe I don't feel like I have much to say that would interest people.  Funny that I would even care since I started this blog for myself.  I never had any intention of having other people read what I wrote.  So, imagine my surprise and pleasure when I actually had people make comments on my posts.  But it still hasn't made me write more.  LOL  I really don't know how other bloggers have so much time or energy to devote to their blogs. 
    Something else I am surprised at
with my own blog is my own lack of humour in writing on it.  I am NOT a serious person and yet this blog has mostly been serious with little of my quirky humour shining through.  I wonder why that is....?

Another day, another stress!

    After much prayer and counseling, I have decided to homeschool Tori for another year.  It is such a hard decision but I know, in the end, it the best thing for her.  I just wish she would realize this.  She did NOT take this news well considering she was counting down the days until she was back in public school.  She actually said she was dropping out!  I gave her this news on the eve of a week and a half off for Spring break.  I thought it would give her time to adjust to the news and get her emotions under control.  I was wondering how school work would go yesterday since it was our first day back after the break.  But she did very well and is working just as hard as she was before the BIG NEWS.
    I wish she would decide to attend Belle's academy but that would take an act of GOD...not that I don't think He is perfectly capable of performing this miracle.  In fact, I am praying for it.  The school would be good for her socially since she feels like she is languishing for teen contact despite being involved with a weekly teen homeschooler's group.  We will see what the future holds. 

    In the meantime, in my weariness, I am holding onto the verse in Colossians 6:9: "Be not weary in well doing for in due season, we shall reap if we faint not."

Long time no write!

    I know it has been almost three months since I last wrote on this blog.  Since I consider this mostly a personal journal, I guess it's no big loss.  Homeschooling two children and working in my youngest daughter's Christian school has taken far more out of me than I would have imagined possible.  Add to that Christmas--the parties, programs, shopping, wrapping! I was pretty stressed out.  And, of course, when I get really stressed, I get really sick.  So, I spent my Christmas holidays in bed for the most part.  But GOD has a funny way of making sure you get the rest you need--like it or not!
    So, what is the latest development in our homeschooling lives??  Well, I am actually considering sending my daughter, who is in Grade 9, to public school next fall.  This has been an awful dilemma for me.  I have prayed and prayed but feel no real direction.  Originally, I had only planned on homeschooling for one year, or at least just taking it one year at a time.  (Good advice from another homeschooling mom!)  I also prayed at the start that if I was to continue homeschooling my high schooler, the LORD would bring her on board and make her a willing participant.  That has not happened.  She is more determined than ever in wanting to go back to school.  Things also get dicey next year with Hunter, my four year old, who will be going to Senior Kindergarten at Belle's school.  In order to keep tuition down (by the thousands), I will be required to work 1 1/2 days per week.  That would leave poor Tori alone to homeschool.  Other reasons include her missing a teacher talking to the class, and going back to what is familiar.  I am not sure how I feel about her going back.  Her grades have improved IMMENSELY since homeschooling.  Of course, it helps that our curriculum requires an 80% pass.  I am so torn as to what to do.  I have prayed and sought advice from godly and/or experienced homeschoolers.  It seems that I am destined to make my own choice.  Why can't the LORD just tell me what to do for Tori?!?  All I want is to do His will for her especially since He knows what the future holds for her. 
    In the end, I do have to choose.  So, this is what is happening--I have decided to attempt to put her in an out-of-district public high school that has a good reputation.  I am praying that if Tori is meant to go she will be accepted, and if the door is closed, I will take that as a sign we are to continue to homeschool for another year.  Tori would also have to sign a contract agreeing she will attend school, follow the rules, and keep up a good grade.  If not, we'll pull her out. 
    I have been in contact with two high schools trying to sort out policies and protocols.  For now, I have been advised to wait until the third week of February and then schedule an appointment with the guidance counsellor at our chosen school.  I will let you know how it goes!

The Miracle of Motivation!!!

Posted in Homeschooling
    Last week was another busy week for Tori.  She had six PACE tests which are unit tests.  If she fails, she has to repeat that unit.  It is a disappointment but it is something I love about the ACE curriculum!  It is mastery-based.  You cannot go on and learn unless you know what you are doing.  A far cry from public school these days where they don't even fail kids even if they don't know what they are doing. 
    And just so you know, a "pass" in ACE is 80% or better.  A higher standard of learning and achievement.  Another thing I love!! 
    But back to Tori....two of those six tests had me very nervous:
Geography and Science.  You would swear I was the one taking the tests with how stressed out I get!!   She passed the other four with no problems.  Geography she scrapped by the skin of her teeth!    But Science was the one we dragged our feet on.  She had failed through the whole unit which was on atoms, elements, compounds, and the periodic table, etc.  She was convinced she was going to fail, and truth be told, I was too.  I just didn't want to admit it to her.  I gave her encouragement and extra study days but we were still not hopeful.  Then....one afternoon, she was looking through the Christian bookstore's latest CD flyer.  She was moaning about not having any money to buy her favourites.  I reminded her Christmas is coming, and then....I was hit with a brilliant idea!!   I told her I'd buy her a new CD if she made 100% on her Science!  Amazingly enough, she jumped at the idea.  I was really surprised.  She sometimes gets excited about things and then it fades into nothing.  But she studied harder than I'd ever seen her.  She took the test at Jamie's amidst the cacophony of three toddlers.  Again, truth be told, I was just going to be happy if she passed!  But.....drum roll please.....she made 98%!!!  I am SO thrilled that I am rewarding her despite missing the 100. 
    Thus, the miracle of motivation!!!

Fractions, Atoms, and Hormones!

Posted in Homeschooling
    I think there is a problem when the weaknesses of the teacher are the same weaknesses as the student.  Math and Science continue to be the bane of Tori's existence as well as mine.  It doesn't help when the student is lazy and not willing to learn....and the teacher is hormonal.  Not to mention, a problem with a boy that is spilling over into our school day.  Needless to say, this is not our best work week. 
    I must say though that she has passed three tests this week with scores in the 90's.  Unfortunately, she didn't pass Math so she is repeating it. 
    But, for all that, I must praise the LORD for this peace and happiness I have despite the dreary weather and the trials and tribulations of teen life.  Thank you, LORD!

My Kids....My Career, My Ministry

    When I was pregnant with my firstborn, I quit work after my husband and I agreed I'd be a stay-at-home mom.  We didn't realize what a sacrifice that would be in a world of double incomes, rising costs, and soaring real estate prices.  It meant some hardships but with GOD's help, we made it through and I count it such a blessing and honour to have the privilege of being a full-time mom.  But from the beginning, I considered my children my career.
    In the past few years, I have come to look at my children as a ministry.  This year, we took another huge leap of faith and took our girls out of public school.  Belle is going to a private Christian school (where I work one day a week), and the oldest and youngest are being homeschooled.  Either one of these alone are huge commitments but together life can get pretty stressful for me.  Never has so much been demanded of me as a mother.  But I feel this is what the LORD wants for our kids and I am trusting He will see me through. 
    This new situation certainly clips my wings as a social butterfly.  I'm sure my friends think I've dropped off the face of the earth.  They have all been so wonderfully supportive with their encouragement and prayers.  I couldn't do this without them!  I knew when I chose to homeschool, I wouldn't be getting out as much.  I was afraid I'd go stir-crazy being home all the time but our weekly routine in varied enough that that hasn't happened.  Hunter has also had to adjust to being home a lot.  Poor guy!  He's finally stopped asking, "Whose house are we going to today, mommy?" 
    I am reading a wonderful devotion book for homeschooling moms by Jackie Wellwood.  Today's devotional was called "How Much Does This Cost?"  She writes:

"I see homeschooling as a calling from the LORD to minister to my family in a particular way.  This calling is specially for right now.  It precludes many other things that I could be doing with my time.  Hobbies and free time are almost history as I struggle to carve out a little time.  This is okay, because in doing what the LORD wants me to do, I am willing to pay the price."

    I sort of feel like a missionary in my own home.  Some of the natives are responsive and some are quite hostile.  But I must remember GOD has called me to this "ministry" and as a song quote says, "The end will justify the pain it took to get us there!"

Why I love Homeschooling...!

Posted in Homeschooling
    My oldest daughter, whom I am homeschooling this fall, went to public school for nine years.  It was a great school and there were no major problems.  It was small and the kids all grew up together staying in the same classes every year.
    Last spring, Tori told me on the way to school that she'd received a pretty good grade on a test.  I complimented her on it and said that was great.  She said, "No, it isn't".  When I asked her why not, she said that the kids make fun of people who are smart.  I said, "Well, it's better to be made fun of for being smart, than to be stupid".  "I'd rather be stupid!" she said.  I was surprised at that mentality.  She had been a good student until Grade 7.  From there her grades had gone downhill.  She was lazy and unmotivated and apparently peer pressure had a lot to do with that.
    This week, my daughter has passed four tests with flying colours.  When she took her final test of the week on Thursday, I graded it right away.  I couldn't wait to tell her she had made her second 100% of the week.  Tori actually did a happy dance!  I was so pleased that she was pleased with her performance.
    So, the thing I love about homeschooling is that it eliminates competition and peer pressure in the classroom.  My daughter can freely reach her full potential without being made fun of for being smart.  Now, THAT is something to smile about!!!

ACE...oh, how I love thee....!!!

Posted in Homeschooling
    .....let me count the ways!!!  First, I love that it's self-instructional.  Tori can do her work anywhere, any time.  I don't have to prepare lesson plans so that leaves me lots of time to spend with Hunter and clean the house (oh, joy!).  I love that she can go at her own pace.  If she is struggling with a concept, we can take the time for her to slowly get through it.  If she wants to do extra work, she can rush ahead. 
    I totally love that when she is sick, her work is suspended.  There is no class going on without her.  There's no work or projects she'll have to catch up on.  When she's well, she can pick up right where she left off!
    I love that they have such a high standard for passing tests.  It makes the kids feel successful when they get such high scores.  And if they fail a test, then they just repeat the PACE, learning more the second time around.
    Hmmm, I'm sure there are more reasons why I love ACE.  But I'll let you off the hook for now.....!

Tori's First Tests!

Posted in Homeschooling
    Well, this week is the real test of our homeschooling to date.  Tori had three PACE tests in Math, English, and Etymology (Spelling).  We were both very nervous but she had studies.  Math is her worst subject so that was the one I was worrying about.  But then, I had to remember, that I'm NOT the student.  This is Tori's education and she needs to take the responsibility for it.  Well, her scores were as follows:
Math   85%
English  100%
Spelling  94%
    We were both thrilled!!  It was nice to see the smile on her face.  Of course, by supper when I tried to praise her in front of the family, she was very nonchalant and cavalier about it.
    Today was her Geography test.  And unfortunately, it didn't go so well.  The test turned out to be tricky and she just didn't know her stuff well enough.  So, I guess she'll be repeating this PACE.  But she'll learn.

The Rest of the Story....I mean, the Week!!

Posted in Homeschooling
    I went into this week with NO expectations but if I had had some, this week would have exceeded anything I could have imagined! Praise the LORD! Tori settled right into homeschooling like she's been doing it for years.  She worked hard, and totally amazed me. 

    Wednesday, Hunter had his appointment with the therapist and dietician at the hospital.  I left Tori with lots of work to do.  We were gone for about two hours.  When we arrived home, she was out on the deck swing doing her work.  She had completed four subjects!  I was impressed. 

    Thursday was my first day of working in Belle's school.  It was hard being on my feet for such long periods of time.  Being a SAHM allows me to sit down whenever I want.  There is a lot to know as well, the kids, the procedures, lots of new names and rules.  I got in "trouble" for wearing too short a skirt.  LOL  It's to be BELOW the knee.  I was very tired by the end of the day.

     Thursday was also our 15th wedding anniversary.  Ron took me out for a lovely dinner.  We ate on the patio of the restaurant and enjoyed the beautiful evening weather.  After he took me shopping for flat shoes for work!!

    Friday was Tori's first time going to Friday Group.  This is a group of teens who get together every week for drama, music, and art.  Tori was reluctant to go but came home raving about it.  I'm so pleased.  She ended the week with four quizzes in her school work. 

    As for Belle, she had a great week in her new school.  She loves the uniforms and I do too.  Other than it's extra work for me doing laundry and ironing!  She made friends very quickly and feels a part of things already.  She is also getting to know new procedures and has caught on quickly to a new way of learning.  I think it will be a good year!

Our First Day Homeschooling!

Posted in Homeschooling
 

     Today started off great!  I had set up a schedule for myself and posted it above my alarm clock which was set for 6:30. (Maybe “great” is too strong a word for waking that early when I am NOT a morning person!) I gave myself time to listen to the news and wake up a bit.  I did my devotions for homeschooling moms, then went down and woke up Belle.  I got ready and made her lunch.  We both had extra time so the morning wasn’t rushed.  I took first-day pictures of her in her new uniform.  She looks so adorable!  I’m so proud of her.  In case, I didn’t mention, my youngest daughter, who is 11, is attending an ACE school.  It is her first year so there are big changes in store for both my kids. 

 

     Anyway, I woke the other two kids before I left.  I thought I’d only be gone for half an hour.  I wanted to make sure Belle felt comfortable before I left her there all alone!  As soon as we walked in, one of the girls she had met back in May, came right up to us, and proceeded to show us the ropes.  She saved a seat for Belle in Opening Exercises.  I thought I would stay for that which is usually only 15 minutes.  But….the first day involved many procedures, changes, and instructions including a tour.  Before I knew it, I was leaving the school at 10:15….two hours from when I’d left the house!  Poor Tori! 

 
     But Belle had a fantastic day.  The kids at school were so friendly and included and talked to her like she’d always been there.  She felt right at home.  She loved the work and even said it felt more like camp than school.  Camp, of course, being fun and a reason to look forward to the next day! I’m so pleased and I’m praising the LORD for preparing her way.  I think this school will be the best decision we’ve made in her academic career.

 

     Once I got home, I set Hunter up with a movie, and I sat down to begin homeschooling Tori.  She was very down on herself and I tried encouraging her.  She looked very glum and unhappy.  Later when she was working, there was a lot of sighing going on!  I’m not sure if it was for her benefit or mine! LOL But she stopped after awhile and went right to work.  We started off with a “Get to know Tori” survey where I asked all kinds of questions about her favourite things. Then, I had her write a letter to herself about her expectations and feelings about the coming year.  I told her she could be as honest as she liked, she just wasn’t allowed to write “I hate school” a thousand times as she wanted.  I didn’t read her letter.  I gave her an envelope and it is sealed only to be read on the last day of school in June.  Thanks, Rosemarie, my very helpful cousin, for that idea!


     In regards to school work, we started the day with only with four subjects: Math, English, Social Studies (Geography), and Etymology (Spelling).  She got 20 pages done in total, which I was pleased with considering we got a late start and it’s the first day.  She is learning a whole new way of learning so it will take time to get into the swing of things.  Over the next three days, I will add her other three subjects: English Literature, Career Studies, and Health Science.  Next week, we’ll add regular Science.  She has a really heavy workload.  I’m feeling overwhelmed for her. I was pleasantly surprised at how hard Tori worked today.  There were times she was down on math but she persevered and even postponed silent reading to correct it and get it done.  She did great today!  I’m so proud of her.  Keep up the good work, Tori!!

 

     Later in the afternoon, she had silent reading for 45 minutes.  I gave her the choice of working on English Lit or reading a book of her choice.  She chose a book I bought for her at the homeschooling conference and book fair Ron and I attended last May.  It is a compilation of short stories about teens written by teens.  She seemed to enjoy it.  Silent choosingreading is only half an hour but she was doing so well with her school work that I gave her some extra time to read as a reward.  I’m sure she’ll roll her eyes at that statement!

 

    I didn’t start Hunter’s lessons today since things were squirrelly this morning.  I plan to get Tori going in the morning, then spend and hour or so with him doing various educational activities.  He was good today and played quietly, pretty much leaving Tori alone.  It is quite an adjustment for him having her home.  He kept asking when school would be done for Tori.  And several times he asked when we were going to somebody’s house.  Homeschooling is putting a definite restraint on our social lives.  I don’t think I’ll get to his lessons until next week.  Tomorrow, he has his appointment at the hospital to see the therapist and dietician.  Thursday, he will go to a friend’s with Tori.  Jamie has graciously agreed to take care of them for the day while I work one day a week at Belle’s school.  Fridays will be our day to run errands and get together with friends.  Tori will be joining a group of teens who get together every week for art, drama, music, and social times.  It is called the Friday Group and is run by a wonderful, giving Christian lady who has more creativity in her baby finger than I have in my whole body! 

         

     Besides running back and forth to school, and homeschooling a teenager, I went shopping, baked a cake, washed, dried, and put away three loads of laundry, emptied the dishwasher and reloaded it, swept and mopped the floor, and had two devotion times.  I am so content with what was accomplished today!  The day went better than I could have hoped for.  Thank you, LORD!!! 

 

     Even though I am the "teacher" now, I learned some things today too.  I know the LORD will be there for me every step of the way.  I read several encouraging passages of Scripture and ran across a devotion in my email box yesterday that was straight from the LORD!  Another awesome thing was that one of the verses my brother-in-law gave at prayer meeting last week, sort of became my homeschool motto.  Today, in my devotions, there was that exact same Scripture verse!  How cool is that?!?  I am also thanking the LORD for my awesome friend, Jamie, who has been praying like mad, supporting me, and sending me encouraging cards today….oh, and listening to my frantic rantings and raving doubts for months!  Jamie, you are a jewel!


      On a more practical note, I also learned that schedules are not written in stone.  I must be flexible.  A character trait I am constantly preaching to my darling husband.  In public school, life revolves around school bells.  At home, life revolves around….LIFE!  People call as you are walking out the door to pick up kids, school buses and traffic don’t go at your rate of speed, friends drop in for lunch unannounced (not that I consider that a bad thing!), the washing machine sprays water all over the basement floor, and kids aren’t always in the most cooperative of moods.   But, the most wonderful thing is……tomorrow is always a new beginning!!

On The Road Again!

    Well, tomorrow the kids and I leave for Michigan to spend almost two weeks with my sister and her family.  She is pregnant with her FIFTH baby, and I am going to get to go to her ultrasound with her.  This will be very exciting for me considering we live so far apart and we've never been involved in each other's pregnancies.  I am hoping we find out she has a BOY after four girls.  I sure would love to be there for such a momentous event! 
    Anyway, I hope all my friends don't miss me too much!  Please pray we have a safe and happy trip (I'm travelling with a not-so-happy teenager!)  I will write about our adventures when we get back.

A Lovely Afternoon!

    I took my two younger kids for a ride today on the bike path.  It was Hunter's first time on there with his bike.  It is ridiculous how incredibly proud I am to see his little legs pumping away on that little bike.  We went for miles.  The sun was a bit warm but there was a cool breeze.  Halfway through our ride, we stopped by a little creek beside the path.  We all went wading in the cool water, splashed each other, and giggled whenever somebody slipped.   Ron ended up calling me on my cell phone at that point.  He asked how we were doing and I told him I was up a creek without a paddle!  He thought something was wrong until I told him, we were literally in the creek.     It was a nice afternoon!

I love it when GOD does that...!

    This morning, I had a spat with my 14 yo daughter.  I hate when that happens but as Dr. Dobson says about strong-willed, she seems to thrive on conflict.  After I dropped her off to catch the camp bus, I went home and was ready to ransack her room.  But I heard a still small voice calling me to get my Bible and go sit on the deck and enjoy a beautiful morning.  My younger two were still sleeping so there was some quiet time to spend with the LORD.  I also grabbed a new book off of my shelf that I hadn't read yet called "The Woman and Her GOD".  I went and sat out on the deck and to enjoy a beautiful cool morning. 
    I have been reading through the Gospels and read John 6 & 7.  In chapter 6, JESUS talks about Him being the Bread of Life and that we must partake of Him.  After my Bible reading, I picked up the book and read the first chapter.  Beth Moore's one statement really jumped out at me.  She said that "GOD should eclipse everything in our lives".  Upon thinking, that would have to include my problems with my daughter which seems at times like a huge black cloud.  She also talked about JESUS being the Bread of Life and how we should feast on Him and His love for us.  Anyone have goosebumps?  I started praying and asking the LORD to fill me with His love so I could overflow with my love for my difficult child.  I went back to reading the book and she said talked about the very same thing...doing devotions with GOD every morning, asking Him to fill our "cups" so we could overflow with love for others!  Now, you really have to have goosebumps!! 
    My devotion time was an amazing little pick-me-up from the LORD.  Although I don't see the changes in my daughter that we have been so desperately praying for, I know He is listening...and He loves me!

Excitement High...Hopes Dashed!

Posted in Homeschooling
    So, I go down to the courier's shipping centre which is WAY across town.  There's a big box but smaller than I had anticipated.  My son, being the perfect gentleman, carries it out to the van.  I looked at the forwarding address...and lo, and behold, it is not from my daughter's umbrella school....it's from Airmiles!    It wasn't our curriculum, it was a Winnie-the-Pooh musical train.  Well...my son is happy!

It's for REAL!!!

Posted in Homeschooling
    This morning, I am unpacking all my homeschool supplies, on my brand new bookshelf...before I got distracted by the computer...and it hits me!  I am offically a homeschooling mom!!!  I've read a lot of about it, talked a lot about it, read a lot of books, but as I get my little schoolroom set up, it's finally sinking in!  It is scary and exciting all at the same time!  I would probably be a lot more excited if I hadn't missed my curriculum this morning.  I had a notice from the courier this morning.  Dang!  I'm too excited to wait for him to come back so I'm going to go down to the office depot and pick it up later today.    I can't wait!

New Bookshelves and a Giddy Mom!

Posted in Homeschooling

    I know it's absolutely silly to be so incredibly giddy about new bookshelves...but I can't help it!!  My wonderful husband put them together today.  We have one in our bedroom for my personal library, and one in our new schoolroom.  It was so fun to unpack some of my homeschool things.  I still have a lot more books and school supplies to unpack.  I might even need another bookshelf. 

    I am passionate about books and can't stop buying them!  I think I may need to go for therapy!

Waiting for Curriculum

Posted in Homeschooling
    Two and a half days of testing were done, the workload was prescribed, the cheque sent in, now we....or at least, I am....anxiously awaiting the first quarter of our curriculum. 
    We are using A.C.E., Accelerated Christian Education.  It is self-instructional which is exactly what I need at this time in my life.  I will be also homeschooling my pre-schooler, and working in the Christian school one day a week where my youngest daughter will be attending.  It is going to be a busy year!  With the LORD's help, I think I will be up for the challenge!
