Oct. 10, 2008 - Ya know, there are days......
.......and then there are days.
Ya know sometimes when you pray and pray.....and you get the answer, but it's not all wrapped up pretty in the package you expect?
I think that's been happening here for a few weeks and I've not been a good gift reciever....in fact, I've been 're-gifting' and I really need to step back and examine things.
One phrase comes to mind: Be careful what you pray for......GOD DOES ANSWER PRAYER....just in HIS timing and in HIS way.
All that to say that school yesterday was a little......stressful.
Recently, and in direct answer to a prayer that I've prayed for several years now.....my husband has shown an interest in being involved in 'school' for small son.
I think my fog comes from the fact that since small son was 4 years old.....this has been ONLY my domain. I've not always done it well....but I've DONE it.
Many things have come to us lately that I have prayed long and hard for. A good church with great young people small son can associate with and come away with some form of spirituality, not just more skills for the gameboy. Consistency with hubbys job and salary. A better lifestyle afforded by that consistent income.
But I also prayed for YEARS for more involvement from hubby regarding school. I'm getting old....or just feel old sometimes and this small son can be just as stubborn as large son was AND just as .......conniving and vocal as his older sister was. What a combo!
Some days it just seemed too much for me to bear alone....but I had to.
Math is not my strong suit. Neither is consistency if I'm honest with myself.
Enter expanded notation and expotential numbers......I'm thinkin' "who in THE WORLD needs this besides the true geeks and techies, anyway" (NO disrespect here.....large son IS one, but with small son's learning challenges....I just felt it was a waste of time).
Enter hubby who has been taking baby steps into getting more involved.
Boy, did I blow it.
It should be interesting to see what transpires today.
Other than that little Math Meltdown, we had a pretty productive day.
Finished a History quiz that needed lots of review.
Did Bible, Science and Grammar. All BEFORE art class at 11:30 and in between a neighbors questions about how to treat a bee sting.
Today, he needs to work on his Lit class make up stuff, read a little more in his Physical Science book and complete his art homework (the only type of homework he REALLY enjoys) and needs to finish up the science unit, and work in EACH subject today......
Gotta run, time to get small son up so he does not turn into that foolish, slothful son in Proverbs.....comments on that over at my other blog.
