updates

finishing up week three of homeschooling. it has been a roller coaster, but we are finding our rhythm. we have a solar system hanging over anna's bed, which is really cool. we have two chapters left in little house in the big woods. we are half way through with the transition lessons for right start math. we have learned more scripture in the last 3 weeks than we have investigated in the last few years. a friend of mine has said that homeschooling is all about your relationship with your precious children. i am witnessing the effects of this.

i still battle my insecurity, but that is a life long battle. this endeavour wouldn't be different than anything else in my life, would it?

our home looks like the latest natural disaster. i wish i enjoyed organizing. i really don't. with my school, home school, and an infant this place is a nightmare. it is starting to affect my husband, so i am trying to get it together. but every project seems to grow; the baby is never full of being held. i always feel overwhelmed and behind. this is a bummer, as i don't feel the peace to be creative when i am being ravaged by guilt.

i know i can. i know i can. i know i can.

up hill all the way.

tonight is the father daughter dance at our church. anna is getting ready now. she shyly requested that daddy take her to golden corral, much to his dismay. i am so thankful that he didn't tell her no, even though he cannot stand the place. sacrificing love.

andrew and i have a date, too. we don't know what we are doing yet. he has mentioned eating at a chinese restaurant. i am worried that he will want sushi. i don't know if i am as selfless as corey. seafood makes me sick, literally. we will see. better get ready. he will be arriving home any minute. take care, all of you people out there. hope you are all warm in this winter freeze!
