Apr. 10, 2006 - So it's been awhile....
-- this describes me these past few months. It's been hectic around here. I found out that we are expecting our third child (due this fall) and haven't been feeling up to par lately. Morning sickness and an admitted bit of uncertainty about adding another blessing to the family. I know that God created this child. I know that He knows best. I have to just trust Him and rely on Him through this journey.
We've been so haphazard about school lately. And I'm feeling frustrated and sorry for myself. T wants to do school every day. He is 4.5 and is halfway through Abeka's first grade curriculum. I am torn about what to do next year; and whenever I try to ask for advice I get a ton of "he's only a little boy, don't push him, etc..." -- I don't push him. He pushes me. He has a hunger to learn. I feel practically abusive if I tell him we aren't doing school -- to him it's like taking away a privilege. So I don't talk about it IRL -- there's no point.
Hormones. I suppose my blue-ness is due to hormones. Just seems like I can't get my act together these days.
I've missed reading so many of ya'lls blogs. I'm going to go try to catch up a bit. BTW, Dh is doing dandy. He's trucking along on a gazillion cardiac meds, but He is really doing well. Thanks for all the good wishes and prayers!!

I am so glad you are back, I have been stopping by and missed you! I am so glad to hear that your dh is doing well again. Thanks for sharing your heart - we all live real lives with real struggles. God certainly has a special plan for each one of your lives and he has promised to direct you and he is always with you. The wonderful promise that He brought to my attention this morning is in John 15 v 5 - that if I remain in Him, there will be much fruit - I need to just remember that without Him I really can do nothing - so my work today needs to just be to keep close to him and talk to him as I go about what must be done. God bless you today. In Him, Colleen

Thanks for sharing about your good news, and your honest uncertainty about it. It seems like you are going through a lot--give yourself some grace and time.
Your son sounds awesome--does that mean he's reading and doing some writing? Does he work independently at all? Maybe you could try to do some creative projects that would require him to do some independent work... I don't know what he's interested in, but I'm a former (music) teacher and would be happy to think up some ideas if you give me some parameters of the type of stuff he does/likes to do/is interested in...
I know that hormones are not an excuse, but they are real....My husband can tell when I'm pregnant once I become irrationally upset over something. With our second, I was harping about where were we going in life, and he got this funny look on his face and asked, "When was your last pd?" I gulped and wailed "THIS IS NOT ABOUT THAT!" But I knew--we both knew--it was those pesky hormones.... (: (not saying you are being irrational--just that it does seem like the effects are real, at least in my case...)
Warmly,
Lori
