I've been 'a surfin'...

Oops! Been a few days since I checked in.

Not much going on though. I have been reading alot on home schooling. It's a very diverse crowd out here in cyberland.
I ran into lots of black home school support groups. Alot of sectarian homeschool blogs, and mixed bag of evolutionist, liberal, and athiest home school sites - for which I am all grateful for at least one reason, parent owned education. I will add links later If I am moved to do so.
My feelings were turned off by some of the anti- homeschooling opinions I read, but I have resolved myself to use those feelings as a touchstone of my commitment to home school. You know- can I handle the heat?...

So...in light of my determination to research as much on home education as I can, I received a small(very small) boost the other day. James came out of nowhere with a comment about being able to bring me home soon if certain things(that are going well) stay on the same path. Yay!...Pray for us, please.

I have been staying away from my usual Christian debate forums for a minute. They have me feeling a little grieved. Alot of infighting along with my intense research online for the past few days has made me plain sad. So one of my fav forums is off limits for a few more days. Not too long-love those guys!

Stupid(Webster "ain't neva lied")....
Did anyone catch the Dateline NBC show "To Catch a Predator" lastnight? ...shaking my head... it was sad to watch. I was surprised to find out that those predators didn't actually have to touch the "child" in order to warrant an arrest! Yay! It was a terrible display of the result of "online grooming", but a couple of those catches had James and I rolling with laughter. Stupid!

I was curious about when they were gonna have some set up for female predators. It may not be enough of them out there to get a hit- oh wait- they are doing it in the public schools instead. Oops, wont be able to catch 'em on dateline! ( end sarcasm)...

missing you...

Any working moms out there?....sigh

I hate leaving my kids every morning to go to work. I usually sneak out to avoid looking at them sleep because that is my reason, most of the time, for calling in and staying home. I caught a glimpse of my big girl(4yrs) sleeping and I almost called in.

They would be up soon and the house would be filled with their playful yells and cries and the usual food demands(lol). That might seem boring to most, but not to me.

Anybody who knows me, or has talked with me online has heard this sad song many a time. I try not to complain because I know the Lord knows my desire to be home, and only He can shape our situation to make that possible, so I am waiting and trusting in Him for wisdom and help.

But in the meantime, I am surely missing my crew.

So, I'm blogging now...

My friend Asia, who I met online has a blog. So when I asked her if it was an easy thing to setup, she assured me that blogging was easy. So here i am.

Hope everyone had a great 4th. We spent time with family.
Unfortunately, we lost our dog that night. She broke away when the fireworks started. If someone has her, I hope they are taking good care of her.

I will forewarn everyone that the theme of most of my blogging will be my kids, husband, family...They are very consuming of my life(in the very best of ways) only second to my Savior.
I am more of a blog reader, than writer, so I will be challenged to step it up with every post. Hopefully any readers I get will benefit.
God Bless.
