Thankful Thursdays 2015 #3

This has been a crazy day with a trip to the Doctors, visit a the Children's hospital and then back home to get ready for Bible study.  Wow, whirlwind. 

1. I am thankful for my Husband.  He puts up with my crazy, loves me always and shares his heart.  I'm glad we love AND like each other!

2. I am thankful for Emily!  It is AWESOME to have someone always (seriously, ALWAYS) willing to help me when I need it and NEVER (truly, NEVER) makes me feel guilty about it.  She hung with 3 of the kids all morning and was so amazing after my "I need you here in 20 minutes" phone call :)

3. I am thankful for Erica!  It's nice to have a nurse friend who lets me ask questions about what is going on, medicines and is a friendly face for my kiddos at the hospital.  So grateful for her!

4. I am thankful for my mother in law!  She has 7 kids of her own but raised 9 with my father in law.  I am thankful for her example of graciousness when people say stupid things about family size and her example as a wife and mom.

5. I am thankful for my mother!  What an amazing woman.  She was also willing to come help with the kids this morning and dropped off a LOT of treats today!  She always thinks of us and is always willing to help!

6. I am thankful for the women who came over last night to talk, study and focus on God!

7. I am thankful for friends that fix cars for free :)

8. I am thankful for date night...very, very thankful for date night!

9. I am thankful for 10 weeks(ish) left of this pregnancy.

10. I am thankful for my kiddos.  I love them.

I need to go get dinner on the table but I will finish this list!  :)

Thankful Thursdays 2015 #6

I missed a week.  And while I knew about it and I was bummed about it, I've given myself the grace to move on with my life.  Thank you for understanding :)  I feel like I'm finally in that season of life where if I fall short of my own goals, I can be ok with that.  I'm not saying I don't try and I don't do my best but I'm not going to hold myself to some arbitrary standard and beat myself up for it.  Life is too short for that. This week I'm thankful for... 1. My husband.  He is one of those guys who I fell in love with and have fallen more in love with since then.  For our anniversary he bought me a glider (like a rocking chair but way better for those that are not familiar) and roses.  He knows what delights my heart and I appreciate that so much about him.  He also came home today with two dressers for the boys room and a baby swing because he knew they were on my list of 'needs'.  I'm thankful for the way he takes care of us and provides

Homeschool Update

So I am thinking all things homeschool lately...mainly because my husband gave me an awesome budget for next year that is allowing me to think outside the box a little bit.  We just purchased two Chromebooks for the girls to use with their school work...then I threw out the internet based curriculum I was using.  Right?  Ha!  Fortunately I got a great deal on them and one only works when it is sitting right next to the router so they are going to send me a third one for FREE!  Anyway, enough about that.  This year has been frustrating with History and Science.  The curriculum we are using is good, but it isn't capturing Grace's attention and she is young enough that I want her to really enjoy it, not just get through it.  When she has classes she HAS to take for high school credits she can worry about doing them because she has to.  Right now, we're going to enjoy it.  The curriculum we've been using is pretty dry next year as well for history and science so the plan

Life & Waiting

I have a love/hate relationship with waiting for babies.  Logically I know I'll be spending the next 18-20 years with this boy...but that doesn't make these next couple of weeks feel any shorter!  Last week the baby was transverse (sideways) across my stomach which is an automatic C-section if he presents that way when I'm in labor.  Fortunately he is now (well, as of Wednesday) either butt down (breech) or head down (ideal!).  Either way is better!  I'm still praying he is head down because that is best case for all of us.  We shall see.  This is one active baby but I think I've said that about all of them.  Either way, I can't wait to meet him and I'm confident God has his birth all under control. Life these days is a little nutty.  I feel like they are periods of rushing followed by periods of waiting - within the same day.  When the kiddos are sleeping it is always a mad rush to do as much as I can, but when they are up the time slows down a bit.  I&#
