FOR TODAY Monday May 11, 2009
Outside my window... Cloudy skies, and the looks of rain
I am thinking... Should I call the Dr. about Micah's tonsils or give it 1 more day (that is how long his brothers cold lasted this past week)
I am thankful for... My dear husband, my 3 boys, and for the blessings and love that my Savior has shown me.
From the learning rooms... We will continue our English & Math studies and hopefully finish up science and geography this week.
From the kitchen... Oh, how I need to go to the grocery store. I think we will have sausage keish tonight.
I am wearing... My pajamas ;-)
I am creating... Well more like planning on creating a few skirts. Hopefully I will get one finished by the end of the week. However, I have some mending that is more of a priority.
I am going... to keep living one day at a time
I am reading... The Book of Peter in my Bible, and the Latin Road to English Grammar
I am hoping... (Praying) for my DH cousin who is having medical problems, my Granny who is in the hospital, for a couple of Uncles that they may come to know Jesus and accept him as Lord and Savior. That Micah cold heals quickly and for a new vehicle as we have outgrown the little Tracker.
I am hearing... Noises from the boys cleaning their rooms upstairs, dogs playing, Isaac driving his cars.
Around the house... A cleaning is in order, laundry to be done, and a household manual to be worked on.
One of my favorite things... A child's laughter!! What a joy to hear each day!!
A few plans for the rest of the week: We will be at home the first part of the week, then things get a little bit busy. At some point I have to go get my 1st glucose test done this week. Tuesday the pest control comes by for their preventive maintenance. Thursday we need to our grocery shopping. Friday is Field Day (being put on by a club in our local homeschool group). Saturday I am taking some finger foods up to the church where our homeschool group's graduation and reception will be held. Sunday - church of course
I know my last entry said I was back, but then I disappeared again. I have been horrible about blogging for the past few years. Maybe this time...
So... we stayed in Central FL for a little over a year and now we are in Texas. Got to love the military life, lol. Texas was the one place my DH did not want to go. However, the Lord always knows what is best for you. We only moved here this past January, but it has been amazing what he has done already in such a short time.
We joined a local homeschool group and started going to a co-op. Which has been a true blessing. The ladies I have met are not like any other Christians I have been around. I know that sounds weird, but they are real. You get the good and the bad. I know longer feel like I am an outsider because of my past. Yet, unfortunately I still became stagnant in my walk with the Lord. How does that happen?? I also was called on it by a particular lady who I admire. So I am slowly starting to moe forward. Praise God!! I am not sure I would be able to if the Lord had not brought this lady into my life. Isn't amazing how God's timing always works out.
It has been almost a year since I was here last. I want to re-purpose this place for those who still link to me here. I will use this to post schooling stuff that I find that you might be interested in if that is ok...
I also plan on continuing to move all of the stuff that is not school related to my main Good Neighbors Blog over the transition to the new year. I have been a slacker on that for FAR too long.
Do you have a regular tea time at your house? We used to have tea time weekly at our house. It was always on Monday afternoons after our school work was finished. We had fun talking, eating and just relaxing together. The kids still talk about tea time and it shows me how much they enjoyed it. Now that school work has started up I think it's time for Tea Time again!!! So today we will start back to our tradition of Tea Time. We'll be enjoying chocolate chip cookies (Carlie is making them as I write this) and some lemon tea. If you haven't had a regular Tea Time at your house, I encouraged you to try. We have lots of fun memories and now we will have many more!!!
I need to work on my blog.lol I have no idea what to write most of the time, so I don't know if people even read my blog to be honest.lol
I was thinking maybe a schedule I see that on alot of other blogs but that would involve me setting up something I would never ever use.lol
Public school is starting in a few weeks! Can you believe it, I can't. When I was kid you didn't start till the day after labor day, so it is WEIRD.lol I need ot start formal school with my kids, but lately we have been focusing 100% on reading. I have decided I need to do that so I can get everyone reading. For some strange reason i feel like a failure if I don't get my kids reading fast enough.
My oldest is making huge strides, he is reading like a champ suddenly. And then Jonah well he is stubborn, he is learning though.lol
My church probley thinks I fell off the face of the earth, lately I have been sleeping in way to in to make it to church where we go, and there is an evening service down the street so we have been going there.lol It is funny because it is a more pregressive teen style mass. And we normal go to Latin mass so we are litterally going from one extreme to the other.lol But church is church as long as I make it and we get communion that is the most important part. I am so thankful to have an alternative if I sleep in.lol
And the pool the pool we are currently living at the pool. Or atleast dh and the kids are. I on the other hand feel HUGE and wore out most fo the time. I only have 10 more weeks then I will have a little wee one I can;t wait. But honestly somedays I wish Ididn't have to feel so pregnant.lol I am quickly running out of room, so I can't eat, I am hot and I am nautious most of the time.lol Soon nesting will kick in and I will have tons and tons of energy again and I will be able to run around with my crazy family. instead of being bored at home doing a crossstitch. The same crossstitch I have been doing for 2 years now.lol
I got a sewing machine for my birthday, so soon I will be posting all the cute wonderful things I have been making for the kids and I. I hope, fingers crossed.
I have also beenthinking about moving. I want to move to the OCEAN! So anyone know of any cool wonderful places that aren't a fortune to live at by the sea, yell.

You can raise a crop of babies on almost any land;
In fact, you need a little grit, and just a little sand.
And lots of love and laughter, to make them grow up strong,
Yet folks with lots of babies somehow seem to get along.
I don't say they are useful, quite, as cars and pigs and such,
But they're a grand crop in themselves, and worth ten times as much.
So don't forget the babies when you're planning for your farm -
A few about you underfoot won't do a bit of harm.
And when your hair is growing gray and years are growing long,
Your heart, instead of drying up, will hold a merry song,
For babies have a way with them of growing strong and tall
And make such dandy leaning posts as life's spring turns to fall!

Jul. 3, 2008 - another post on subbmission
I am so glad I got a wonderful comment on this subject.
I saw yet another wife have a weird comment on subbmission somewhere. she said you should sumbmit to your husband as you would the Lord. WHAT! Ok one you should submit to the Lord above everything and anyone. People People what bible are you reading? Nowhere does God say to do that. Her infact says he is a jealous God and you should not have any Gods above him. Secondly who in the Bible does that? Seriously name one time someone sinned and it was OK because there husband told them to?
I can think of several times a husband sinned because he didn't listen to his wife. Like Pontius Pilate who's wife Said not to crucify him because of a dream. People seriously need to quit reading books on submission and forgetting to read the bible. And do a real bible study on the Women of the bible. They where not quiet little women, the bible is filled with Strong Women. And Women can Prophesy's I am sick of hearing that too. Over and Over again in the Bible God goes to both Men and Women. He talks to us both! Not sex over the other. This does not mean a Women is a Man, WE are very diffrent and need to remember that. But being diffrent doesn't mean we are less. Look at Mary, and Mary Magdelon, Look at Mary and Martha, Look at Anna.
We have a few stories where women mess up and we are supposed to take that we are to be quiet and blindly follow our husbands because they are smarter, and I am thinking as I hear this, what about all teh stories in which Men mess up? Does this make sense? Quit picking up these books of garbage and also quit listening to Women who need to pick up a Bible. Read your Bible! Nothing beats what is in a Bible. Listen to these Bible Studies you are doing with the Children and think.
I will never sin because my husband told me too. And most of the books I have read say DO NOT SIN! So it isn't the books, I have no idea where people come up with some comments I hear. Your husband is not God and trust me he probley doesn't want that resposibility. And he is not perfect. He is human. And he wants you to talk with him, listen to him and to stick up for yourself. Every since I have started saying no, or asking for help and also ignoring his comments. My marriage has transformed! It has turned from a bitter housewife and a husband who has not idea what to do to fix things. To a home where we both have a say, I have help, and we are on the same level. My kids are even changing for the better.
