Okay, I really try to not do this but the boys and I had a playdate with some good friends today (that is not what I try not to do, this is-COMPARE:::::).  Compare my 5 yr. old to hers.  She tells me he got his report card from school and how well he reads etc....and I think is my son doing that well?  Is he at "kindergarten level" and on his way to first grade? 

Okay, I know he is just fine and is right where he needs to be right now but that blasted devil just loves to sneak into my thought process and really mess with me.  I talk to God  about this often and he gives me this verse every time  "Train up a  child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it"  Proverbs 22:6.  

 I look at this verse daily.  I keep scripture/quotes on my fridge as constant reminders to me that God will take care of my family and that my husband and I are doing the right thing for our children.  As time goes on my fears slip away.  It really helps to meet other homeschooling families and for my kids to have friends that homeschool so we as a family are reminded that we are not alone in this grand adventure.  I get the question from time to time from my 5 yr. old as to why so and so is gone all day and when will their weekend come so we can see them again?  I tell him that their family chooses for them to go to public school  so they are not home alot or off having fun adventures like we do.  He then goes on to realize that he is so lucky....he gets to see his dad  alot, play with his brother who is his best buddy and do fun projects with mom.  Little does he know we work so hard on the heart issues.  You sure don't get to that much out in the world. We are so lucky to have this privledge to homeschool our kids.  I'm looking forward to meeting more of you out there as we all are choosing what I truly believe to be the best thing......HOMESCHOOLING!
