Marriage!

Is your marriage good?  Do you and your spouse value your time together?  We do here at my house.  We value our time together so much that we are trying to get me home full time so I can be with my husband in the evening along with my children.  I am currently working for my church 5 nights a week plus every other weekend. 

The reason marriage is on my mind today is: This week a co-worker told me her husband is going on a mission trip.  I replied to how sad that she will be alone.  She laughed and said I am looking forward to it!!  I was puzzled by this reply.  She saw my look and said oh we do not get along.  I was floored.  Are marriages at sake in this country?  Why did this gal get married?  What is the bottom of her and husband’s problem?  How sad!!  If my husband was going to be away from me for one week I wouldn’t be able to bear it.  We are really great friends.  Military families: I really applaud your sacrifices of your spouses fighting for our (and yours) freedom.  It must be very hard on you to have your spouse to be gone for such a long time.  I hope this is the case.  Anyway I feel sad for this gal as she doesn’t know what marriage is supposed to be.

Let’s take this moment and comment about how great your marriage is.  Bless your spouse this week with something out of the ordinary to surprise them and tell them how much you love them!!

Hello !!

New Year Resolutions!!  I really do think New Year Resolutions are useless.  We can have resolutions at any time of the year.  Just have to do it especially when you are ready to do so.  In tradition in this country, I will list my resolutions here right now.

1)  Get up early every morning and send my husband off to work with lunch and a kiss bye.

2) Continue to bless my husband.

3) Keep my marriage great.

4) Get up early to be with God.

5) Exercise to loose weight and be in better shape to chase my kids.

6) Get serious about my knee recovery

7) Come home full time (I work in the evenings 5 days a week with the exception of every other weekend)

Organize my home much better and streamline system of keeping home organized and clean.

9) Cut food budget in half so I can come home and possibly get busy in starting business(who knows what that will be?)

10) Lastly, post on my blog at least 3 times a week (ha ha sorry guys I haven’t been doing a very good job at this)

Anybody posting New Year resolutions on their blog??

Hello

I am back!!  Hopefully I will be here more often to report what we are doing in school.  My dh has been checking on my blog and has reported to me that I am neglecting my blog.  ha ha  (waving to hubby)

We had our first official school day here today however it didn’t go so well since we had to go into town to get the oil change in the van which was long overdue. 

Oldest child did math and science today.  We started Apologia General Science today which was a bit of struggle as I am not used to that type of science as we have been doing WTM way of science.   We use Saxon math for this child.

Middle child:  He worked on his story and flashcards.  He also worked on his piano.

Youngest child:  We worked on her character a bit today.  She also helped me get stuff out to tent for Garage Sale. 

I mentioned Garage Sale.  Yep, we are having a Garage Sale this weekend which is something I will not do again during the 1st week of school.  I will be glad when it is over.  Because of the garage sale, we will be doing very light school such as science, math and piano.  Next week we will be doing full swing of school.

It is good to be back here at homeschool blogger community.

I thought I would participate in this.  Here is my tip:

Use your library as much as possible.  If you have a book that you want to buy check your library to see if they have it.  Read the book and take notes, save money!!  Also if it is something you want to have in your home library you can get it on ebay or amazon in the marketplace.  I bought my dh a book through that route (amazon marketplace) and it only cost me $4.90.  The book was regular priced at $19.95.  It was for sale in the Amazon Marketplace for .99 cents and then there was shipping on top of that.  What a deal!!  I made my dh proud. 

I am going to attempt to put the logo on here from Crystal.  Well that didn't work.  I will just post the link to her blog.  http://www.biblicalwomanhood.com/blog.htm
