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.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The bloom is off the rose &#8211; 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&#8217;t do more than I&#8217;m already doing.  I don&#8217;t have the strength.  But that doesn&#8217;t alleviate the guilt.<\/li>\n<li>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!<\/li>\n<li>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&#8217;s Web.  Not sure what to read next &#8211; any suggestions?<\/li>\n<li>J2 (whom I&#8217;m still homeschooling) is doing pretty good with High School. I have to rework much of the curriculum to fit his challenges but that&#8217;s to be expected I guess.  We are in our 3rd week.  Dare I say it&#8217;s the best start to our homeschool journey?<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ll be facilitating J1&#8217;s end of high school via homeschool.  It will be 95% him and 5% me.  He doesn&#8217;t really need Momma.  He just needs to have someone to accept his work.  I&#8217;m praying this works and we can finish up before he turns 18. Lots of prayer needed here still.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m not really knitting.  No real time\/energy.  But maybe when things quiet down.  (will that happen this side of heaven?)<\/li>\n<li>I added a Pinterest widget to my blog in the sidebar. Do you play on Pinterest?  It&#8217;s about my level of internet use lately:  scan pictures and &#8216;store&#8217; them for later use &#8211; if I remember. LOL<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;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&#8217;m doing &#8220;school days&#8217; book for both Sissy &#038; J3 that I can give them when they graduate.<\/li>\n<li>Wow &#8211; the Cast of Characters page is REALLY outdated! I need to get over there and update it!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>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 &#8211; bless you! I&#8217;d love to know who&#8217;s out there!  If you are still blogging &#8211; please let me know, I also want to get back into the practice of visiting\/making friends online! No more hiding for me!
