Falling off the blogging wagon...intentionally

I think it has been something like six weeks since I wrote.  It really can't be October already, can it???

These past few weeks have been very full of possible blogging titles.  We have been camping, started school, rolled out a new chore and reward system, started music classes, moved in a free piano we were given, wiped our computer completely clean, painted the girls' room, painted the Master bedroom, and had many more exciting adventures, I am sure.  I just can't recollect them all right now.  And of course, you can be sure, S has never taken a break from her special way of life.

But really, I decided that blogging was not a high priority.  This page does not bring in any income nor move any mountains, for our family, so to speak.  However, my job as a mom and housewife were given to me by the Almighty.  Blogging needed to take a backseat.  Consistent devotions and exercise were a must for me as we began our fall school schedule.  Those items are beginning to find a comfortable home in most mornings so hopefully blogging will pick back up a bit.

However, this fall has definitely been a time of shifting my paradigm.  Last year I thought that homeschooling my children was a big responsibility.  This year I would second that and add that it is a huge, and I mean HUGE, time commitment, err...uh...a full-time job!  I am essentially teaching a 2nd grader, 1st grader, and Kindergartner while I try to keep an eye on a mellow (thank you , Lord for that!) two year old and an absolute loose cannon of a seventeen month old. 

I am simply trying to get to the end of my day with school complete, some laundry done, S in one piece, and dinner eventually appearing.

Thus, if I get a blog post written it is simply icing on the cake. 

Thanks for still reading and here's to more days with icing!
