It's off to another busy school day.  Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with all I hav eto accomplish in a day.  I see other moms, whom don't homeschool, but have all day to themselves.  I'm finding more and more that it is necessary for me to follow a schedule.  I don't keep a terribly strict schedule, but I do try to follow it closely.  This means I must be up adn prepared for the kids before their feet hit the ground.  So, when I get up, I get dressed, have a coffee, and have my time with the Lord.  Then I start a load of laundry, wake the kids, and check my email.  .

I've been told that we take too strict an approach to education.  My husband and I both have discussed this, and we both feel that God comes first and a good education MUST come second.    We want our children to first and foremost, love and serve the Lord.  As adults, we want the men to be able to provide well for their family. 

Blessings,

Hope
