Homeschool Mother's Journal... Summer Is Still Here

In my life this week... 

First week in a long time we didn't have anything going on. It was so very nice. Well, we had our normal activities at the community center but that is it. Sadly only relaxing happened around the apartment too. It is in dire need of some TLC. This weekend we are dog/house sitting for some friends so some fun in their backyard is in our future. This is going to be so needed and treasured. Should be tons of fun!! We are very thankful.

This week as well was also the first week my 4 year did get in his sports class at the community center. The first week all summer there were no tears and no asking to go home the whole time. It was great!!

In our homeschool this week... 

We seem to have to keep pushing our start date back and back. I really wanted to start on the 10th but couldn't. Then I thought we could start the 22nd, but that is the day after a 3 day camping trip we are taking. Would I be crazy to come home from a camping trip and start school the next day!? I'm not 100% I'd be mentally ready. ???? So the tentative start date has now been pushed back to the 29th. I am not one that likes starting in the middle of the week, but truthfully we are chomping at the bit over here to get started!!

When are you starting your new year? Have you already started?

I am praying for...

Our future.

This week the Lord was very loud in saying something is coming. Coming soon. We are not sure what that could be, but we can't argue with how loud it has been. We have been told to keep doing what we have been doing (which that alone was nice to know), but change of some kind is coming. We are anxious and trying to have faith and eyes like a child. The Lord is faithful. No doubt about that.

Yesterday morning we made a mad dash to the grocery store for much needed supplies for the house. We went to our local Grocery Outlet and filled the cart. We were a little nervous about the cost as we have at least 1 more store we need to hit up. We felt so much better after seeing we saved about what we spent... with NO COUPONS. Score!! It proved to be a fantastic way to start the day.
