Jul. 31, 2009 - Start of School
Every year at this time, the thoughts, the doubts start rolling - am I doing enough? Am I doing too much? What needs to be worked on? What is going well? How will this year differ from last? What should we work on?
And of course, these questions overflow into general life. Am I involved in too much that I can not focus on my family goals? What do I need to work on myself for this year? What do I need to change? And the ever elusive question of What is my Mission in life?
Well we started school up again. Caleb is working on Horizons Math 3, WP LA 3 and WP Sea & Sky. Jessica is working on Horizons Math 1, WP LA 1 and WP Animals and their World. This week was a bit hard - there was illness involved and it was also VBS at church - making for long nights and very tired children. We also need to finish up the switching of the rooms. Caleb is so glad to not be sleeping in the living room anymore, and so am I.
Along with these questions, my wonderful husband asked me to start teaching childbirth classes again to supplement our income. And what a miracle it was to be re-instated so easily! It's like it was meant to be - and helping me anser my mission question. I loved teaching, and now I will be able to again! YAY!
We seem to have a jam packed schedule, but I think it is doable - our schedule has lots of free time included for whatever comes our way. I am still a bit tired from the baby stage, and soon that will prgress to the frustrated mobile baby satge (where she will be frustrated and trying to crawl, stand up and get into everything!) I think we can do it! I am excited and ready to get going!
