I am almost done buying our school curriculum for this year. It's been hard to choose from all of the good homeschool curriculum out there, but I am finally done with the choosing part. My "BIG" plans of starting school (mini-school) didn't work out. The boy's heads just aren't in "school mode" right now and they need more time to just be kids for now.
Our family is still in limbo with hubby living and working in another state while we wait to sell the house here. It's been just over a year since he finally got the job. We are blessed to have him working but wish we could all be together under one roof. Only God knows when we will all be together. Until then we do our best, with His help, to maintain our family.
I am still challenged by trying to juggle my own school work as I study towards my masters in counseling and "work" on my own issues in counseling. I am starting to be more open about my dissociative identity disorder because I feel there are others out there who believe they are alone and they are not. I know that through my own pain and abuse the Lord can redeem what has been lost to help others.

First Days
Today I have a 10 page paper due in my Human Growth and Development class that I have no motivation to do. All I would like to do is do more investigating for curriculum to use with the boys this year and schedule out in my new planner what we have. I am desperately trying to get motivated but it is not happening.
I told the boys that since the three older kids started summer school we could be doing some light school now too. They were not happy. Soccer dude whined that it was summer and we shouldn't have to do school. Little man stomped off to his room and sulked on his bed. Fedex puckered his lip and tried to get me to back down, but no way. I have found that the summer has placed into their hands too much time to get into trouble and on each other's nerves. So today is the unofficial first day of mini-school.
I now need to get motivated to get my own school work done. I can't say that I don't blame them for wanting to not do school. I am feeling the same way.
