Change of Heart

Well, last week was a big week. E was gone and I was home alone with the girls for three full days, and after a series of events we have decided to homeschool. It has been a tug of war in my mind whether or not I should homeschool. Last week a few key moments converged and I am going to take the plunge. First I watched one of those TLC programs where the family had 16 kids and they homeschooled. They were the nicest, most grounded kids I have ever seen. In my heart I know that homeschooled kids are some of the kindest, most interesting, and mature children around. This has been the main draw for me to homeschool. Anyway, that got me thinking... Then the next day a friend from church called (she has kids similar in age to ours) and asked what I thought of the idea. If she would have called even the day before I would have said I wasn't interested, at least not next year. Well, the next day we got together for coffee and we have decided we will do what we can to help each other out. That was huge for me! She taught for 6 years before having kids and she will be a huge encouragement. Needless to say I am really exicted, it was just the push I needed.
Oh, and on the homefront, things went well with E in California. I survived!
Happy Birthday S!!
