Jun. 27, 2009 - Busy with no help from SO
It all started last Saturday when a friend of mine came in from out of state. She wanted to meet up at the zoo, so the kids would have something fun to do. She has three kids like me, her husband was there and we had a great time, but mine decided he wanted to stay home and do yard work. I had to bring my mom along to help me with the kids, actually just my son. My son has no sense of danger and I can't handle him and the girls all by myself. I don't think it's right that I had to enlist my mom to help at the last minute, we had this planned for a week! All week he's been like this, not helping with the kids. He comes home from work and takes a shower, it's really hot here and he sweats a lot, and then he plays that STUPID NintendoDS game. I want to take a hammer to it. Well, today it's going to end. I have made plans with his sister to go to yard sales, so he's stuck with the kids all day. Now I have to go wake prince charming from his slumber.
If you got this far, thanks for reading.

I've read all of your posts. Welcome to blogging! Maybe this can become a source of joy for you. I don't post everyday, but I do log on everyday and read what my friends blog. I usually just post about whatever is going on every few days.
Sounds like you need an outlet. I would highly recommend a homeschooling support group. It's very important to surround yourself with people who are doing the same thing you're doing. The kids will benefit from seeing that there are other children homeschooling too. I find that when I isolate myself, everything looks alot bleaker than it really is.
Have a great summer!

Hi,
I was reading your post and it reminded me of years ago. I thought I'd let you know what I discovered, through God's help. My help comes from the Lord. I don't expect anything from my husband, that way when he does help, I'm appreciative.
I understand not liking video games. My 23 year old spends more time on them than what I like.
Look for the joy in life.
