Friday Homeschool Recess 3/1

Thought I would stop by and say hello! Deborah, same thing here laundry piles at Mt. peeks again, and doggie hair sticking to clothes...good sign vaccume time again! Yet, I have been getting a ton of academics done, wth my mini-me students. I have also had lots of time to pray and think about spiritual concens, that is something I try harder to make time for at lent. I feel I did a lot of great balancing work during my spirtual in depth time, this lent so far. I feel very peaceful with it, and more free and focused for the work time put into it. Things had been put off spiritually and were brought back up, my Gods divine will as I see it. So that I can b a more balanced and complete person the rest of the year, I hope!

For my birthday....this month, I got a new computer. It was needed badly. We were down to two working computers for a famly of five heavy users with school, work and home needs all having computer task! My dh often brings his work  laptop home, but it does not have all his home stuff on it, so no on was getting everything done, with so few woking computers available, during the small time we are all together and all needing to get homework and such done, during those same times! So now we hope to enjoy more use for everyone with another laptop to use!  As kids age these days the tech needs go up! Good the old cars all still running,as we need to spend more on technology assistance laptops and keep transportation cost down as best we can with making that last longer!

I am tryng to make more working time for planning/sheduling an demands alone for myselfin my office and hving my own computer should help with time managing much better! So...again I have made great progress and had goo focus while away, from my old habits. Yet...I appreciate my online friends here very much that have given me encouragement and support galore. Something so hard to find with real world people being so very competitive, non-understanding, often users more than care givers, who never seem to notice walking in my shoes with my issues, is dang hard/painful often frustrating work!   I try not to complain so loud but geez living in a me, me, my problems are worse world...starts to make me feel nutty. I guess I listen more than I voice my own compliants. I try and solve my own problems after thinking thru it a bit to much! So letting go more and letting God control more, is very helpful to me...and I needed it, thankful lent came and focused my path and helped me see more clearly. I feel better by far, to deal with more challneges and demands in a greater focused way !

Thanks for still being here if you are listening it is apprecitaed and all prayer given to me...I thank thee!

Good morning. Yesterday was a good day.  Zeph a friend over in the moring.  This is an old karate companion who just became a homeschooler.  The boys had fun.  The mom stayed and we visited. Afterwards Zeph and I  went to lunch and then to Micheals for lap booksupplies ( starting a new one) and Whole Foods.  We put away groceries and then he did some school while we waited for DH to come home.  

Yes, DH is home.  Poor guy went to bed at 7:30 last night and is still sleeping.  We've hardly had a chance to catch up.  He's home for most of next month-Yeah!   Our trip to AZ is cancelleld or postponed-Boo!  DH is traveling during that week and can't go.  I am very disappointed.  We have't had time to discuss rescheudling, but will broach that subject soon.

Zeph is doing great with his contacts.  Today he wears them for 6 hours-each day is one more, up to12 hours.  It is so nice to see his face.  Between the longer hair and the glasses, his face was disappearing.   He's being responsible with them and  is now an expert at taking them out, but still needs a couple of tries per eye to get them in.  Very happy  they are working out for him.
