I think spring has finally sprung here in our part of the world and man did it ever take FOREVER! Today has dawned absolutely gorgeous with the most amazing sunshine. We are supposed to have mid-60's here which is, literally, like a heatwave! At least my kids think so, as they have all donned their shorts, well, actually they've been wearing shorts for several weeks(even wore them out in ND with 2 ft of snow).

I've been on the sick side of life since Monday, mid-afternoon. I am still not up-to-par but hoping the sunshine will give me a good dose of Vitamin C. It's hard to lay around when "stuff" needs to get done; especially with a toddler who gets into "everything" and a 7 year old I am homeschooling. Acutally, Colson's schooling is going well and he is really easy to work with. He is ableto do alot on his own, yet I still enjoy listening to him read, its truly music to my ears. I am so proud of him and am so thankful I chose to pull him and keep him home this semester. He is finally back to "himself". I honestly think we would have totally lost who our little man is, if he had stayed in an over-crowded classroom with huge restrictions. Its been quite a few years since I've homeschooled and I have to admit I was a bit leary to do it again, (alot of pressure on me to make sure he knows what he needs too) yet I know God kept prompting my heart to do it.

Well my morning is slipping away from me with much still left to accomplish! Don't forget to look for blessings from God, He gives them everyday, we just don't always look for them, because sometimes, like me, we are too caught up in "stuff".

I'm so with you on the spring and sunshine! I even shaved my legs today (haha)!
I'm glad you are starting to feel better. There should be some sort of rules against mommas getting sick. Everything tends to fall apart!

Keep the faith girl...if God called you to it, he will surely get you through it. Homeschooling is a huge responsiblity, but you are more than capable!
Have a blessed day!

So glad you are feel some better! I'm wioth Destini, when we shave are legs again, you know it is spring!!! LOL
Glad your little guy is back on track. It is so hard with the school systems not to lose them. I think with all the state testing the kids get lost as teachers are required to pass these tests so schools get more and more money to spend on sports! I love sports but they need to share the wealth. Put it into teacher training on how to cope with kids that don't fit in the box!I get so angery over all this.
