Random Thoughts

Between Pinterest, Twitter and Facebook, I sort of forgot about my blog. Today, I feel the urge to write down some of the random thoughts in my brain and see if I can make sense of them.

• The bloom is off the rose – Sissy has cried the past two days as I leave her at Kindergarten. Today she came out of the classroom and I had to let the teacher hold her so I could leave. GUILT! But I KNOW that I can’t do more than I’m already doing. I don’t have the strength. But that doesn’t alleviate the guilt.
• J3 is doing better in 6th grade, I think. Well, the only thing I can really judge him on is what he tells me. Praying he finds a good buddy this year!
• J3 has been joining Sissy and I in our bedtime reading time. I really enjoy having him in there and so does Sissy! Right now we are reading Charlotte’s Web. Not sure what to read next – any suggestions?
• J2 (whom I’m still homeschooling) is doing pretty good with High School. I have to rework much of the curriculum to fit his challenges but that’s to be expected I guess. We are in our 3rd week. Dare I say it’s the best start to our homeschool journey?
• I’ll be facilitating J1’s end of high school via homeschool. It will be 95% him and 5% me. He doesn’t really need Momma. He just needs to have someone to accept his work. I’m praying this works and we can finish up before he turns 18. Lots of prayer needed here still.
• I’m not really knitting. No real time/energy. But maybe when things quiet down. (will that happen this side of heaven?)
• I added a Pinterest widget to my blog in the sidebar. Do you play on Pinterest? It’s about my level of internet use lately: scan pictures and ‘store’ them for later use – if I remember. LOL
• I’m trying to scrapbook again. Digi-scrap really is a good choice for me. I can do it quickly and even while J2 is working on his schoolwork. Who else scraps? What projects are you working on? I’m doing “school days’ book for both Sissy & J3 that I can give them when they graduate.
• Wow – the Cast of Characters page is REALLY outdated! I need to get over there and update it!

I am hoping to get more into the practice of blogging again. If nothing else I need to record some of my thoughts before I forget them! If you are still reading this blog – bless you! I’d love to know who’s out there! If you are still blogging – please let me know, I also want to get back into the practice of visiting/making friends online! No more hiding for me! (I hope!)
