The last time I posted I asked what you wanted to hear and my conclusion is that the mixed review means I should just spew. Spew whats on my mind and in my life.
So, that's what I'm going to do...just spew:)
Without a doubt what is on my mind tonight is school. We are only 1.5 days away from the beginning of school! AAAGGGH!
I will admit, I'm actually getting excited. I'm excited because the kids are excited. No one is dreading it and no one seems to be full of fears. Plus it is a change. Did I tell you how much I love change? I love change!!
Now, you may not realize this because quite frankly I have not majorally redecorated my home since we moved in 4 years ago and my facebook profile hasn't changed in quite awhile and my blog page is still the same annoying design. BUUUT that is because it is reality limiting me to the same visual humdrum. I'm tickled pink to not have ants feeding off my floor at the end of the day...could really care less that my walls are still the same color:)
But the start of the school year means a change in routine and a change in seasons.
HOWEVER, that is where the excitement ends. Within 1 month I will be complaining about the school routine....because it is just that...routine. Thoughts of hasseling out the door everyday with 2 3 year olds in tow gives me the heebie jeebies.
And this year I have 2 buses to catch. 2 schools to deal with activities. 2 PTO's to avoid:0 We made the difficult decision to send Sha Sha to a different school this year. The decision did not come with MANY tears on my end. I've cried for 1.5 years over this decision and if you talk to me about it, I will cry again:) Sha Sha learns uniquely, so this is the best educational decision we could make for her right now.
BUUUUT, I am at peace because the decision has involved much prayer and I know that for this year, we are to go forth with the 2 school plan.
However, that is not to say we won't change plans midstream or next year. I'm not a planner, but I'm a big picture thinker. That's odd isn't it? Actually it's not because I basically hate being detailed but I like to envision:) So, it's hard for me to not know what the future holds for schooling. I just have to continue praying and be open to whatever direction He leads me.
And that statement being uttered, I would be an idiot to not know that is exactly God's point in the whole deal.

Girl, you and I are so much alike :) It cracks me up... I too love change, but then fuss about it later. Hope all goes well with the new changes!!
School has started back here. We are actually adjusting pretty well. Good luck!
I have to say that there aren't many people out there that love change - most people tell me how much they hate change, people I work with, people I know, friends... but I LOVE CHANGE! I can't live without it! I won't even let my waitressing job pick a certain schedule for me, I need them to "surprise me" every two weeks with the schedule, because if it were the same every week, I'd go INSANE!
I know your blog was about more than that, I was just so excited to hear you say how much you loved change!!!
Oh, Flamingo, reading your posts about summer and going back to school really make me realize how I need to cherish every moment. I really do try to do that. I am so, so very sad about sending my boys to school and they're only 3 and 1! I will cry for weeks, I know it! When my cousin D (not using names anymore, but you know who I mean!) send N to kindergarten, I remember wondering why it was so sad? I just didn't get it! I feel like you don't "get" anything until you have kids of your own! Ha ha! My husband wants very badly to homeschool, at least for a period of time. And I don't know about that. We have a lot of figuring out to do. Can they just stay 3 and 1 forever??? Gosh, it's so easy!
That is the hard part of parenting. Making hard decisions in their best interests. Imagine how the Father feels when He does the same for all of us? Interesting thought isn't it? Hang in there.
Life brings change whether you want it or not so its good you like it! And as for the school plans....you prayed about it and asked for direction and now HE leads you. HIS way is always the right way!
School doesn't start here until after Labor Day. One of the perks of homeschooling is you get to decide when to start. ;)
I hear you pain on getting out the door with the 2 Littles! If I put Will in public school I'd have to walk/drive him a block with the other 3 in tow. O my word, NO THANK YOU! Another perk of homeschool - no one going anywhere are some ridiculously early hour. ;)
Hey! Have I mentioned that home schooling is constantly changing? Join the insanity! ;)
We only have 5 days left of summer bliss, and I'm already dreading the morning routine. I'm excited about some much needed "alone time", but am not looking forward to dragging us all out of bed in the AM. I'm sure you made the right decision about Sha Sha, although I know it was probably painful. In the end, HE always has them in his hands, no matter where they go. I try to remind myself about that when I'm pannicking at the idea of not seeing my Peanut all day long.
Homeschooling works ya' know :) HUGS my friend! We just started today-fun times!
I know that the schooling decision has been a tough one for you and you have prayed about it for a long time. I am so glad you found peace and that things are going well (since I have talked to you since you wrote this!).
