Dropout has such a negative connotation to it and you've done nothing bad or wrong for your family.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there, from a fellow public schooling Christian mom! You aren't alone, but with your new season you will need to find new support.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956401111516283111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530891922136686493.post-66687325728817727542008-09-09T12:06:00.000-07:002008-09-09T12:06:00.000-07:00hey joanna,thanks for the love...:)I don't mind th...hey joanna,<BR/>thanks for the love...:)<BR/>I don't mind the lable I give myself. My emotions were not for the decision I made or the feeling that I couldn't handle it...it was for the vibe I was getting from a few that were just that. I knew I didn't make the decision, God did,and I knew that I was not "giving up", God was moving me, but I was getting the heavyness of those assumptions from a few. I hope to blog more about this soon. <BR/>I should call myself a Homeschool takeout....since God took me out, I didn't drop out. <BR/>Someone used that term to me when I was getting council and this Godly woman labled herself that way without regret or stress about it. That was what I needed at the time from the Lord...that it was not for me, for this time anyway. <BR/><BR/>thanks again:)Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804353351160018502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530891922136686493.post-64376267708540517872008-09-09T11:30:00.000-07:002008-09-09T11:30:00.000-07:00ahhh..so here i call these times my "coffee b...ahhh..<BR/>so here i call these times my "coffee break". just to quickly check my email, see "what the deal" is, is there a note from my mom? ha! i guess it's good that i am at least not running out the front door for a smoke! <BR/>hey alicia, you are not a homeschool dropout, the Lord just took you guys another path. i understand the feeling though. i have wrestled with it so much when we left the b&b. boy, i felt like a failure. why couldn't i handle homeschool 3 kids, nursing another, taking care of 2 houses and be on call all hours of the day for complete strangers and get paid next to nothing for it? shouldn't i have just coped better? trusted God more? etc etc..<BR/>i write to much. <BR/>maybe time to start a blog. will talk with the dear husband tonight about that.<BR/>ha!<BR/>hang in there. listen to truth.<BR/>love,<BR/>joannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530891922136686493.post-89472337106548533862008-09-08T16:43:00.000-07:002008-09-08T16:43:00.000-07:00It is hard to balance the fun things that you can ...It is hard to balance the fun things that you can do with the responsiblity you need to do. I know this summer we were gone so much doing fun things that I had a hard time keeping the house clean, keeping the kids doing there chores, and making dinners. So with rising gas costs and looking at the budget, I willing gave John the car 3 days a week. I am still trying to work on a routine that allows us to get our school, chores, and fun done. I know that if I focus on God, He will show me what is important for me to do and what to pass on. I will pray for you.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11300158329657912671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530891922136686493.post-17609269423351193062008-09-08T13:41:00.000-07:002008-09-08T13:41:00.000-07:00I keep things picked up and every 4 weeks (our wee...I keep things picked up and every 4 weeks (our week off of school) we do some deeper cleaning. That helps me balance because it used to drive me crazy to not have everything just so. Can't do that with 5 kids. At least not my kids. <BR/><BR/>I will say blogging has sucked me in some. But it is when I am up way before the kids or in the afternoon when we have down time. Sometimes in bewtween but I try to make it not as often.Zimms Zoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671798321373854716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530891922136686493.post-62524108544144076902008-09-08T13:35:00.000-07:002008-09-08T13:35:00.000-07:00Yep, I hear you!
