I wasn't going to put an entry out today, but I went online to find a crochet pattern and I thought I would put one out real quick. I can't believe how I have no desire to blog. I've had blog block before, not knowing what to blog. Or too busy and having no time to blog, but I've never had a time I didn't want to blog, except for now. I really have lost the desire to put entries out, though I think of all my online friends and I wonder what they are up to, and I know you wonder what I'm up to. So I'll try to put out short entries even when I don't feel like it.
Paulie had a great birthday and our monthly homeschool meeting last night was awesome. We brought Paulie's birthday cupcakes to share, and they were gone by the time the meeting was over. The principle said no school since it was Paulie's birthday, we all liked that one. So today was time to get back into the swing of things, and I will admit it wasn't the best of days. There were lots of attitudes todays and it was quite wearing on me. Paul took care of things when he got home, and things are better, but it still tired me out. Have you ever hit a point where you've helped a child with a subject so much, that you've over helped? Well we have, and now that we are making that child do more work, they are not liking it. We know this is what we need to do, and it will continue all summer, as this child is behind in this subject, but it's tiring at the beginning working on changing the attitude we allowed to grow.
I've had a hard day, one of those days you just want to cry and curl up and not do anything. But we went to homeschool playgroup (which Paul encouraged saying I needed to be around some friends ). He was right, and it was very encouraging. The ladies listened and encouraged me and reminded me that tomorrow is a new day. So we will go at it again tomorrow, and work through any and all attitudes then too. We will keep going with the Lord's strength, and He will guide us through this time. I know things will work out for His glory and our child's blessing. It's just the starting of it that's hard.
I finished my crocheted bookmark with the 'right' single crochet stitch, I don't see much of a difference. But it is nice knowing I did the stitch properly. If I get a chance I'll put pictures out someday, just not today. But now I want to start another crochet project, which I'm looking for a pattern online now. So this is going to be a short entry as I want to read a few blogs, but mainly I want to find a pattern. Have a blessed evening (or day depending on when you read this ).
Thank you for letting us know how you are doing. That saves us all from sending you PM's. But seriously, I am sorry this was a hard day. Sounds like the Lord provided just what you needed, just when you needed it. I had a brick wall moment with one of my students today with lots of attitude from the child regarding math. Tomorrow is another day.

I haven't felt like blogging much either. I guess I should put out a short entry as you say.
I have to admit, I'm glad to see new entries from my friends here.
Sounds like your in the same "funk" I'm in. Just can't get motivated and my kids are picking up on it. Unfortunately it's causing great stress in the house. You know what they say about a house divided?
We'll pray for each other this week. The marriage seminar was excellent (highly recommend it). But the practical application for hubby is the hard part (he won't apply it).
Talk soon, thanks for the English input. ~ jaimers
Thank you for being such a sweet blogging sister who lets us know what you are up to even when you don't feel like blogging. ((hugs)) I know what you mean. There are times I just sit and look at the screen and not write anything. Soooooo today I did a tag that I was tagged awhile back with. It was fun b/c I had the boys help me with the answers. hee he you will have to come and see what I mean. I guess I will have a blogging break this coming week.
Sending you BIG ((HUGS)) and blessings
In Him<><

Hi sweet lady! Friends listening to our troubles (without judgement) is the best medicine sometimes. I 'll miss your posts if you stop.)-:
I hope you feel better.

I hope you are fairing well, I think alot of folks are in the same boat as far as blogging posts go, I too was wondering what the heck was I going to post about that I havent already talked about before I took this blog break to spend time with the hubby and family. Its not just blogging either, everything else I am used to doing that I was somewhat routine on has fallen way back, and its embarassing.lol. Anyhoot I do wish you a wonderful rest of the week though.
Oh how I can SO relate! I haven't felt much like blogging or even saying the 'B' word. Lol...April depression? I've noticed in almost all my homeschooling groups it seems to get quiet around this time of year. I finally got around to making a post with pictures of my oldest's first year of life. =)
I can't help you out with the schooling issues, as I quit that front within the first few months of struggling and went to unschooling. My son is still learning just without the 'war zone over lessons'. He even has asked to go back and DO every page in the school books! Lol... Weird way, unschooling, but for us, it works and I get a happy kid out of it.
This blog is so I can share my journey with the Lord, my journey as a wife and mother, and my journey as a homeschool mom. I pray that you will see the Lord in my life through happy and sad times, and that this blog glorifies the Lord.
This is an award and tag free zone, thank you.
