Homeschooling in Illinois

Prayer Please

We have a showing today at 5:00. Please pray that these people will buy our house so that I won't have to clean like a crazy lady again!!! (And I do mean crazy). It is impossible to clean with four maniac children. The two older ones are supposed to help, but all they do is fight and fool around. And baby B tears apart anything that's clean and throws a fit if I try to stop him. And when he isn't tearing things apart, he's clinging to me. Momma ain't happy... well, you know the rest.

Jul. 19, 2007 - Train Up a Child

Posted by Anonymous

I just got the DVD of the Joy of Child Training by Michael Pearl, free with an order at No Greater Joy.org . It includes a chapter on teaching children to love to work--I'm looking forward to that one. Maybe you can find a copy somewhere! :)

I hope it sells. My sister has things in the works for hers to sell. They had the inspection done on Saturday. Plus, everything is taken care of for the new house in Florida.

We just put our house on the market and had one showing so far. I, too, feel like it always has to be neat and orderly 'just in case'. It is really difficult with children who destroy everything, isn't it??? I feel like I'm cleaning my floors 10 times a day!!! I'm sure there is an end in site. Hope the showing goes well!!!

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L born May 18. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
