1746

1746. Started reading Charlotte's Web with the kids tonight. I was debating about reading it, because the death thing really makes them sad and I wondered if they were too young for that. But Paul mentioned it. And I am excited about wanting to read chapter books to them. So, we started tonight. Hoping the death of Charlotte isn't too traumatic for them.

1745. Evidence that God is working: I WANT to read a chapter book to my kids.

1744. Evidence that God is working: The first glimmers of excitement today as we started making some decisions about homeschooling curriculum for the fall.

1743. The homeschooler's conference that we went to today.

1742. Getting to eat a great lunch/dinner.

1741. Watching Bethany play cornhole tonight at church.

1740. Everyone did great at April and Larry's today while we were at the conference. Well, MY kids did great. One of THEIR kids had to go to the emergency room for stitches in her forehead.

1739. But two ladies from church came over to help Larry out with the five children that were left when April had to go to the ER. This was helpful not only to Larry, but also to us... so we could stay at the conference and get done what we needed to do. (Though Larry was not about to call us home, even if no one had come over to help. Bless his heart!)

1738. And the kids remembered to pray for the injured child this evening. That's a big deal, to me.

1737. Having moments when my thoughts are clear and being able to express them through writing.
