I am practically giddy right now at 10 pm and motivated to come down to the computer in the basement one last time before ending the day. It's because my sweet husband made the decision for our family that our eldest would not be attending the 2-day-a-week cottage school next year that we were looking into. The school is an excellent one and one I would feel confident putting any of our children in in the future. But I am rejoicing right now that our sweet biggest boy will be at home full-time with us again next year, as far as we can tell right now.
What I've come to recognize in myself this year is that my own personal main reason for homeschooling is because I absolutely love being with my children. Now, OF COURSE, I am not always happy with them or patient with them, or slow to get irritated as I should be, but I adore them. And I want to get as much time with them as I can. If that means that when they become school-age that I need to be their teacher, then gosh-darnit, I am going to try as hard as possible to be the best teacher I can be for them. And I will pray that they will get a completely excellent education with my husband and myself as the teachers and directors of the school that takes place in our home. I will avail myself of all necessary resources and attend any meetings needed and become part of any groups that will be helpful to ensure that I am all I can be for them, by the grace of God.
Anyway, I just had to post because my heart is skipping right now that our sweet firstborn son will not leave us for two full days out of the week starting in August. As far as I know at this moment, he will be all mine again at least for a little while longer! Praise God!
