It seems like my last post seems to have been widely misunderstood!  So I will try to clarify.  I did not stop homeschooling, I do not ever want to stop homeschooling (unless Jesus tells me otherwise), I love my boys and I love this life.  But, I do have my moments when it all seems like insanity!

I thought that my blog was a space where I could be real and honest, to talk about the good, the great the glorious, and the bad and ugly moments of my life.  Well that post was about one of my bad and ugly weeks!  I was trying to express what happens when you have "one of those days, or weeks, , when the calling of homeschooling and all that goes with it just gets overwhelming.    Am I the only person that has been there?   

Anyway, I wanted to show that when those times come, it is especially important to have a friend who you can feel free to express your frustrations to.  One who will encourage you on the journey, and not tell you to pack it in!  Because I find a lot of homeschooling moms are so busy trying to justify to themselves, family, community, etc that homeschooling is the right way, that they paint a picture that everyday is perfect.  And when things are not perfect, or you have those moments of doubt or frustration, or whatever,  you have no one you can talk to.  Sometimes we don't even want to admit it to ourselves.  I don't think that's healthy for ourselves or our kids.  And I've seen with my own eyes that those moms are also usually the ones who end up putting their kids and school (and still feel guilty) or homeschool without any joy and peace.  

So, I hope that clears some things up.

Be blessed.
