But for now, I wills tick to my blogger blogs... ( though cuz I'm so addicted to blogging, I will be back!) LOL |

Facing Insecurities!
and well, there are certain times of the month it is just worse then ever. I've sat here the last two days pretty much doubting everything. How can I teach my kids when I'm a lousy housekeeper, organizer, cook, mother, friend....etc. etc. You get my drift? I know in many areas of my life I have definitely improved, and I see that daily. One area of my life I am so hopeless is is being organized. I have desires of how organized I'd like to be and even that improves daily. I guess somehow I need to come to terms with who I am and who God created in me. I need to learn to work on my gifts and talents rather than try to work on someone else's. It's good to strive to be the best at what I can be, but I'm so afraid of losing sight of me. I strive to make God smile in what I do. I want Him to see that I am doing my best in all I can. I do wish sometimes I was better and I do let myself down often, but that only is because I get so focused on me and what I can do, that I forget to let God do His work in me. I need to remind myself daily to die to self.
Even as I have written this out, I can see where I have erred this week. I have let my emotions and hormones control me and in that way, Satan has been controlling my thoughts the last couple days. It is wonderful what a little writing will do... a way to see the truth or should I say TRUTH! God is so good!!!!! |

Well, we're in!!!
I got Greg's stuff from the school and my cirriculum is in for Sept and so we are ready. Sept, Greg and I will learn the software for his two online classes, Math and Language Arts and I don't think we will start the other subjects until end of Sept or beginning of Oct. It came to me today that Greg needs more one on one time relearning things that public school seems to have taken away ( or else... the kids in his class anyway), like respect is a big one, humbleness ( big time) and well as basic things like showering and taking care of himself. So much of this I will not share with him yet, but it's coming and I know at first he will not like it. I guess I'm not a mom so I can be liked, but I do see that if these things are not corrected, then he will have some troubles in the future. Yip.... God didn't say it would be easy, did He?

I still haven't figured out....
| how to put the side panel and stuff on this blog. It looks like the amount of time I get here it could be a while. Wally and I watched a couple of those DVDs I talked about yesterday and they were awesome! Eye opening and on target to what we believe and what the Bible says so I will use them for science and work around them. I'm feeling pretty good about having the first part of SS and Science down. Next week should hear from my cirriculum teacher. I'm looking forward to that. I guess that is it today. I'm very tired so I will go and take a nap now before I start on my chili. Have a GREAT day. |

Another Blog... here we go
| I thought this was a good place to have a blog since I am starting homeschooling in Sept. I am taking my 11 year old son out of public school. It's been an interesting journey thus far. I've read books, tonnes of arcticals online and well, I still feel at peace so the journey has begun. I'm waiting to hear from the School Board I registered with here in Alberta so I imagine once I hear from them the fun will begin. I've been checking out cirriculum and stuff. I have decided that Greg will do Math and Language Arts on line and the rest I am researching. I did find some great Creation and Science DVD's at home so I might just do my own thing around them to make it more fun. It looks like tonnes of things can be covered with these 8 DVD's if I play it right...even all year so that is exciting. I am also looking for a good book on Canadian Prime Ministers and do some good Social Studies around that ( to start) so it basically looks like I'll write my own cirriculum. Weird. lol I'm looking forward to blogging here and sharing and look forward to checking out other blogs. I love reading them. Have a GREAT evening! |
