The Plan:

I'm starting to feel like we're ready to get back into the swing of things.

It's about focus, in the midst of doing what we need to do. I just need to keep in mind what's truly important - my beautiful kids! And, showing them who Jesus is.

So, we'll continue to work for this week on the "sword fighting" book, millers, etc. then start next week back with SOW. I think this occasional break is actually really good. We'll probably take a week or two every once in awhile doing this same schedule. The truth is, we still get to the three r's. Reading (psalms), Writing (the memory verse), Arithmetic (We're in the process of doing Mastering Mathematics). So, even when we're breaking, we're still schooling. Don't tell the kids that though. LOL.

Just thought I'd let you know, we're planning to get back to the original plan here soon. It HAS been refreshing. We'll be doing this more often, I'm sure.

In the meantime, I have been keeping up on that blog: A Holy Experience. She has a great perspective. I remember a LONG time ago stumbling across this blog thinking it was just too deep for me...maybe things have changed? Like, possibly -my heart?? My husband says she's too emotional (I can see that), but either way there are some great gems in there.

Unless something worth writing about happens, I'll probably wait until next week to check in.

See you then!
