An Extra Ordinary Life

...October.....

I was reading on another blogg about it being only about 12 weeks till Christmas and my thought was wow can't wait.... Just need to finish up a few things before then lol. I was thinking I feel quite a lot more confident this year than last although the 3rd term tiredness has returned at least I am not depressed... I just feel that i wish that I could do other things in my life better justice. Keeping up with friends and Godly things. I still wish as I often do that I could do this without feeling that I am behind and have to keep up todate just in case.... Then I would be even more confident but to think that I have been doing this for three years now.

I have learned so much about scheduling this year and I am pleased and blessed. I know what to do now... I know I know just wait a minute and it might change but isn't that the character changing part of this journey...

I few more friends are sending their children off to school this next year mainly people with 15 year old children and I kind of think that is a good age to send them off  if one must. I just can't see myself doing it but I would never say never especially for high school.

I still think I need to cut back on some more things for next year I am such a homebody and really want to do more at home because the children love doing things together and being home. Our craft group overwhelmed me again this year and I was meant to be just coming along and helping but last term I couldn't help myself but volunteer because everyone decided my friend should do a majority of the days and I did not think it was fair for her to do it herself... but I have learned my lesson. I will find it more joyful to do these things at home for now. No pressure and only charcter challenging to myself personally between me and God.. I get so angry  because nor everyone puts in and only a few of us teach. I am not a crafty person but I want my children to see I give it a go and it is hard for me. My friend  said  I get angry my expectations of the group are not being met, maybe a break will be good then.  I just want every one to help.

Oh well enough of that I am glad for the weather getting warmer but 36 in Oct... I will pray for rain...someone said it is great to ask God for rain but maybe a better prayer is to ask to reveal what we have done to make it not rain... mmmm ...

Only 6 days till my baby sister who I have not laid eyes on for 11 years will be in Australia .. I am so excited to show here what life is like in this beautifyl country..and to show her why I live here...

Hey there~

I was browsing blogs during the kids music practice today …. My boys are 16 & 14 and still at home. It can be done =0) We enjoy it so much.

I am from the states and we are so enjoying our time down here. We loved our visit to Melbourne in the fall!

Prayers for rest and home time this term!
