February 10, 2010, a New day!

Today is a new day in Christ, and He is going to help me.

Lord, please help me to enjoy my kids today and every day, because I do realize now how fast these days will be gone and I will miss them so much, even though they are REALLY hard right now. This means, please, help me stay off this computer when they are awake, and spend quality time with them. I don't want to look back in years and realize how much time I wasted NOT spending time with my children. The time goes by way too fast. This job is hard, but please don't allow me to "check out". I want to remember these days, and all the days to come. I don't want to regret one thing when the kids are grown. I want to know that I did everything in me to make connections with them. Lord, you know my heart, please help me with my struggles. Thank you for everything Lord! Don't let me take another moment for granted!

The boys are doing great.

M has started some preschool stuff this year, and I am debating on Kindergarten for him next year. We have been looking at curricula this year, and with the curriculum I am hopefully going with, I can do a 2 year Kindergarten program. Decisions, decisions. I'm just praying right now that the Lord will lead me in the direction I need to go. He is very set that he is going to be a firefighter when he grows up. I know the Lord has something GREAT for him. He is definitely head strong, but I also know that will work in his favor eventually, we just have to learn to channel it into positive things.


D is doing well with his school work. Abeka academy is really not working for us right now, so also with him, I have looked into a different curriculum. I think he needs a more hands on approach with school. So often, we put our children in a textbook curriculum, because that is how we learned being in "school". There are so many other ways to learn, and I am really researching them. He still loves drawing and hopes to one day be an artist or a comic book illustrater. I have high hopes for these boys. I sure do love them so much! I know God has a bigger plan for them. I can't wait to see what it is.

Well, I've rambled for long enough today. Tootles, be back soon....hopefully sooner than I was last time.
