I admit – I’m having 2nd, 3rds and 4th thoughts. Â I don’t know what the final decision will be at this point.
To help me think – here are some of my thoughts…
- The Elementary school I was envisioning was figuratively right around the corner – I can hear the children on the playground at recess time. However, the school says they are full. Â They will let us know by the end of today (almost 2 hours ago now) where they could fit him in. 🙁 Â The next nearest school is a Spanish immersion school. Â I don’t think that would be a good choice for him.
- Maybe just having the teenager away during the day will relieve some of the pressure.
- I “just so happened” to have my ES come by today to deliver some curriculum and go over my plans. Â She is a great Christian woman who’s been really looking forward to working with J3. Â She showed me how great it could be…but she also said she’d pray for us. Â I don’t feel pressure from her, but her visit reminded me I’m NOT alone.
- I’ve SO been looking forward to having him coming home and getting to spend more time with him. Â I was also hoping to have time to help him explore his desire to play music and maybe even get into some theater.
- I think J3 will be good for J2 – they can play word games together and J2 definitely needs to keep working on his social skills – esp his patience and tolerance for disruptions to his schedule.
As you can see, I’m so conflicted. Â I wish the Lord would just send me a quick email so I would know what to do!
Continuing to pray friend! Most Holy God, give wisdom to Amy & Eric. Show them your plan for them & their kiddos. Let them feel your presence now. Amen.
No judgement here, no advice, either…however, if you choose to keep him home, know that I am here and willing to help you an any way at all that I can. That reading thing is still good by me, too.
I hope you get everything worked out, with not too much more stress. *sigh* … Will be praying!
Big hugs, this is always a hard decision. But, my advice is if you don’t have peace about it then it isn’t right. My other piece of advice is your decision now does not mean you cannot change your mind in 3 weeks. If whatever you chose isn’t working out, you can choose the other option. And your email idea is brilliant. Where do I sign up?
