First day of Prek

Ready or Not

So we are prepared  and sorted for the first week  of preschool.

I know that you  might think, but its March, why are you  starting  already. Well the reason  is because  with a baby coming  in July i want to  give myself  enough  grace time to be able to get the 36 weeks  of lessons done by May 2017. We might  get done before  that,  but in actual fact it might take  us even  longer. That right there is the blessing of  homeschooling. We can  move at our own pace.

I am  getting  excited about this  new  adventure... and so is a little  4 yr old  i know. She watched me print out her work sheets for next week and  she was so excited.

A New Adventure

After LOTS of prayers (mostly on my side) Gary and I have decided that we are starting to Home school. This thought has always terrified me. I once thought that of COURSE I would Home school, and then We got married and I was pregnant with this precious life and I didn't want to screw her up. I was frightened that I would not be able to teach her to read, I mean I had to do First Grade TWICE cause I struggled to learn to read. I didn't want my failures to affect my children's education. But after looking at School Options for our now 4yr old I realized that maybe financially Private School was not an option for us and the Public School we are zoned for just is not an option. So Like i said, LOTS of Prayers, Gary and I are starting Lilly out with some Preschool. If it is successful then we will do kindergarten; and from there we will progress grade to grade. I am excited to have my girl home with me to help around the house as we bring baby Zoe home from the hospital sometime in July. 3 girls in 4.5 years. WOW. God is good. I always wanted to be a mom, and some days I do struggle with having a good attitude and being selfish about "I JUST WANT TO SIT and DO WHAT I WANT" but you know I prayed for these girls, I prayed for a Husband and the LORD has blessed me beyond measure and WAY more then I deserve and I grateful that I get to be their mother.

Home Schooling is just another blessing. I just need to now learn to be better with time management and with a New Baby, it will be a struggle to learn how to manage Teaching with nursing with discipline and raising these girls to be godly young Women who strive to please the LORD. And to be the one the influences their Thought pattern instead of a teacher or classmates is amazing. Gary and i have our work cut out, but this adventure is just that an adventure...and every adventure has bumps along the way but as we get use to a new schedule I believe that it will be a very rewarding adventure.
