Thursday, August 28, 2008 - Rainy August
WOW, the weather is BLAH around here! It is the last week of August, and it has been dreary and rainy. This morning as I look out it is all gray and drizzly. I have to kick up the spiritual warfare in weeks like this!
School is going OK. Jo has done so much better this year than in years past. Our parenting has changed as he has gotten older, and things in general are much better. He is putting forth effort in school as well, which was a concern of mine. Praise God!
Violet is also doing well in school. She is the first born, do what she's told, kind of kid. She is able to manage her time very well by herself. She is definitely a tween, though! Sometimes the piercing looks I get from her.....! We started doing art lessons here (after taking a year off) and I am so happy about it. They are nothing fancy, but she is drawing again daily, and I think that is good for her.
Sean is working, which is nice. It has been pretty steady lately. He's been SUCH a big help with school this year, daily checking some of their work. It gives meaning and validity to the kids' work they have done all day....and mine, too!
Sometimes I am feeling quite BORED. Busy, yes, but bored none the less. Feeling a little trapped and without vision. Do school. For 8 more years. I am too busy to really take on more, yet what I am doing leaves me feeling a little....bored. Blah. Same old depression issues? Maybe. Lack of faith? Maybe, however life with God is really good for me right now. He's shown me some things and I see His working in my life. I spend time with Him and read the Word daily. I have been devouring the Word lately. I kind of feel like I'm in the "keep on keepin' on" mode of life.
