Homeschooling in Illinois

Coming Back With Some News

I think I lost all of my readers.  Hopefully I will get some new ones. 

Life has been crazy busy.  Summers are usually like that.  We finished off baseball season.  That only lasted about 2 months so it wasn't as bad as by our old house.  Speaking of old house, yesterday marked our 1 year anniversary of being in our new house. 

So on to the news, right?  We are expecting baby number 6 Jan 31.  We are all excited and happy about it.  I have been feeling TIRED!  Only slightly nauseous.  Just very, very tired.  I don't remember being this tired with my other pregnancies.  But that's OK, because with my other ones, I was insanely sick.  I am actually enjoying this pregnancy so far. 

D turned 11 a few days ago.  He is getting old so quickly.  He is also maturing into such a helpful young man.  He takes care of the animals almost completely by himself.  He feeds them and waters them, lets them out and puts them away.  He is always willing to help and do whatever I ask usually without complaint.  Unless it's school work... that's another story. 

Hopefully I'll get back in the habit of blogging.  I miss it.  I am 10 weeks now, so hopefully in a few weeks I won't be so dead tired.

Hey, you! I am still a faithful reader and e-friend! (hugs) Congratulations! I saw your comment regarding your pregnancy on my comments, but I wasn't sure if you were still reading the ones on your (neglected) blog. Hee. I am very, very happy for you! And I think it's so wonderful that you have six kids now! That's amazing and lovely. If pregnancy weren't such an excruciatingly difficult road for me, I would be at #6 now, too. Ha! Much love and blessings to your family. XOXOXOXOX

How exciting for you! Children are such a blessing! I'm in aww of the fact that you are able to home school them all. You're an inspiration!

If you'ved lived in the new house for one year, that means I have been reading your blog for one year! And I look forward to a new year of homescooling, as I'll be joining you this year.

Get rested up, I look forward to your next post!

Hooray!!!! Congrats! My baby was born at the end of August so we began school with a new baby. Not always easy but I think it's actually easier than the moving around/getting into everything stage!!! And you'll have such great little helpers!

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 1/2 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 1, and a new little blessing due Jan 31. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
