We Are Still Here

Hello Blog fans!

Sorry it has been such a long gap since my last post, but a lot has gone on. We have taken 2 field trips, survived some serious behavior issues and are no in our first full week of school for MARCH!

Our field trips took us to Philadelphia to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. We also visited the Franklin Institute and the Star Wars exhibit...very cool. The Crayola Factory was our other trip. Whew..I am tired. The girls had a great time. This is by far my favorite part of home school. I love getting to go to every field trip! I would so love to pack up a Winnebago and travel this amazing country we live in. Do I sound like I have stepped out of the 70's or something? Actually I think if I mentioned it to my husband he would go for it. He already said once last week that he wanted to ,"quit my job and live off the land". My response was, with want talents that we have could we survive "living off the land"..."oh, I don't know"...so I guess we won't be doing that any time soon.

I mentioned early so behavior issues. UGHHH!!! Friends if I can survive this hormonal stuff that is starting in my house I think I can handle anything. It has been so rough. There is a lot going on and honestly I just don't want to dump it in print. I have been praying about our situation and we are looking at some options. I will not be sending anyone to school, but we do need some guidance to navigate this overwhelming time in our lives. God is good. He has always been there and I know he will continue to be. I just have to be very diligent in how I am handling the stress and how I choose to respond to each situation. I am sorry if this seems a bit cryptic.

Today was a great day. We finished school early...by 12:30. We all needed a day like this. Lovely did not finish her work until 2, but it was her independent work, so I was done at 12:30. We will be going to visit my mom in Pittsburgh next week so I will be absent. I ask that you all keep us in prayer for safe travel and cooperative attitudes.
