Well, tomorrow is a big day for me. It may seem minor for some of you who can do fifteen thousand activities at once and hardly be out of breath, or those of you who enjoy getting out of your house at least once a day. THAT IS NOT ME! I am quite concerned how tomorrow will go.
You see, I am starting a bible study. Yes, I know "big deal!", but added on top of schooling the girls at home and keeping two extra kiddos I have really had a difficult time deciding if this was the time of my life that I would be able to enjoy the opportunity of bible study and the fellowship of other women. I really have burdened over this decision. Am I putting too much on my plate? Can I really handle carting five kiddos all under the age of six out of the house every week? Am I shorting my girls who I am homeschooling out of the best time of day to do school?
I have been a major advacate of Simplicity for a long time. Is this the right choice? I dont know. I still am not confident that I am doing the right thing!
I remember when I first decided to Homeschool alexis. I got in a disccussion with my mother in law about the fact that it would put me at home alot. I asked her "What about ladies things or lunch with a friend?" I remember her response was " There is a time for everything. Homeschooling is a full time job, you will have to give up a lot of things."
God, help me to know if this is one of those things?
On a lighter note though. It is supposed to be an amazing study. We are doing the Beth Moore study about the Patriarchs! I am very excited about this opportunity. Plus the fact that one of my close friends are leading a group. Pray that it is a wonderful time, and that the girls behave like little angels!
About Me

- I love my job/s. It fullfills me and and makes me tired at the end of every day. Sometimes I look back and see a day that a lot was accomplished and acomplished well, other days, I wish I had do-overs! I may look like I have things all together, but honestly, I am struggling to do a good job at this thing called mother-hood just like everyone else. Hope that makes you feel like you are not alone! Because I used to think I was the only one! :)

I agree that homeschooling means a commitment to home with the majority of your days spent there. Its a lonely place to be, but so worth it as we have learned ourselves. However, I would have to say that as a mom of little ones (only TWO of them) that raising them is a 24/7 job that takes so much ..and fellowship with other mothers is so refreshing. I would think that a plan for doing that once a week is not selfish, but a blessing for all of you. The kids are getting out too! And, you have the benefit of being filled up in ways that help you be more focused when you are at home.
Thanks for your sweet words!
I did go this morning. It went very well with the kiddos. Audrey did have a hard time as I dropped her off. They moved her into Lexi's class, and she did better.
Of course the study is amazing! Looking forward to the study
Girl, do your thing. A complete view of homescholing is learning to love to learn. As the grls see ou devote "special time to learn from God with a group of your peers, then they will always have that as a model for lifelong learning from the most important teacher.
