Our First Day Homeschooling!

Was a blast!

We were so incredibly UNorganized, and scatterbrained......it was so much fun! The schedule I made was a little help, but I can seriously say it only sufficed to let me know what was next for each child, nothing else.

Amelia did her work fine, and really loved her Math (how anyone LOVES math is beyond me)! She learned her Roman Numerals today, so that is something learned, right?

Abigail did her spelling words for Friday and began to memorize a poem from Othello.... it's a short one, but we are both enjoying it. She had a bit of trouble with her math, but I told her not to get frustrated, that we can work on it more tomorrow.

Logan and I read from his McGuffey's Second Reader and we did some spelling together. Then we did a bit of brush up  Math for him too. Then, of course, we got excited when the UPS man came and brought us his SCience book we've been waiting for! YIPEE! And he even did his independent reading time!

I know it is going to be a long and trying journey, but I think we will do fine... just fine.....

and thank you to all who prayed for my family yesterday. When I got up this AM, the paperwork I had printed out about Christian discipline was still on my desk. Apparently dh DID read it, cause he was very patient and loving today. Maybe it just takes a gentle reminder sometimes to see what is going wrong, or maybe it takes a good swat by the big Daddy Himself. Anyway, L had a good day with Daddy AND Mommy.

Mom is beginning to refuse her G-tube feedings. I have to be very firm with her, else it won't happen. She is becoming very defiant with the children when they attempt to help her. I've been praying on this one too... is it time to let someone else care for Mom? How long will I continue to do this? How long CAN I continue to do this?

I can do ALL things through Christ which strengthens me.
