I toy with the idea of blogging more often again. But it's harder now that the kids are older. And my life still, mostly, revolves around my family. It's hard to blog without treading on someone else's story.
This year I am only homeschooling Janae. She's a Senior and pretty self sufficient. I started homeschooling the fall of 2014 (Josiah - 9th grade), gradually worked up to homeschooling everyone (for 1 year) and then gradually putting them back in school. Now I'm down to just 1. And, hopefully, next year it will be none. I have determined that while I CAN homeschool if needed, it's not really something that goes well for me. And my "ideal" homeschooling life is far different than my "real" homeschooling life. And that's okay.
So, this year, I'm homeschooling 1 child. We kept our youngest home one more year. He's happy playing. And we go to Occupation Therapy and Speech Therapy. He has an IU13 Special Education teacher who comes out twice a month as well. I'm having a hard time believing that he will soon be doing kindergarten testing. I am hoping he can go to our local private school. Their kindergarten is 2 days/3 days all day. Then we can continue his OT and ST on his off days. I can't really imagine a life when a few days a week are me here alone from 7:45-2:30!
Reading - Right now I've been reading through my collection of Agatha Christie books in random order. I think it would probably be interesting to read them in order written sometime. The world changed a lot from 1920 to 1970!
In my devotional time, I finished the book of Psalms and have started on the book of Romans. My plan is to read through some of "the letters" section of the New Testament between now and Lent. During Lent I will concentrate on one of the Gospels. I'm also going through a book study called "Daughters of Grace." The women at our church are doing this as a Bible Study. I'm not attending, but am enjoying reading about various women in the Bible.
Other than that, I'm busy with all of the normal stuff...laundry, cooking, cleaning, appointments, life management and what not. Zach is involved with Bible Quizzing this year so he has quiz practice once a week and quizzing every Sunday.
Have a wonderful day!
