Homeschool Mother's Journal... VBS Week

The Homeschool Mother's Journal



This week in my life...

This week was our church's VBS. For the little guys it is only 4 days long. I got to help out with our Pastor's wife in the crafts area all week. It was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed getting to chit chat with her all week too. We really don't get a chance to talk on Sunday's during the hustle and bustle of the morning services.

Our theme was Saddle Ridge. This was so perfect because my middle guy LOVES cowboys and anything western, and this was his first year being able to take part. It was awesome! He was a little shy starting out but by the end of yesterday he was singing along and laughing with everyone else.

Things I'm working on...

I am trying to finalize our start date. I was hoping to start in 2 weeks, and technically still can, but just found out our August is going to be busy too.  I honestly can't wait for school to start so that way we will have routine again. Our family dynamic definitely needs it.

I am also researching resources for our "Person of the Month" we are adding to our homeschool this year. I'll touch on this more later. :) We are all very excited about the addition.

I'm praying for...

A more grateful heart. Lots has gone on this week to spark jealous and the anger "When is it my turn" nerve. I'm not happy about that at all, but if I am being honest about my heart that has definitely come up. I am very happy for these people, but my heart is hurt and angry. Plain and simple. I am trying to be patient but 2 friends coming up to me this week telling me all about their exciting changes was a bit much for my heart to take at once.

I'm also praying for my family's dynamic to get back to what it used to be. I'll touch on more of my heart on this later.

I'm linking up with Sue @ The Homeschool Chick for this week's Homeschool Mother's Journal.
