Yes, I have missed a few days. Like I said, life happens here and as thankful as I am I must admit it is not my first priority to record all the reasons. I must say really thinking about it and making a list has really helped me to be thankful in the ups and downs of my days.
Reason # 8
I am thankful that I am able to homeschool my children. Some call me crazy, some call me amazing. Well, I know that I am crazy, but that was before we decided to homeschool Amazing, definitely not! The amazing is all from God! Without Him I would never be able to do anything that we have set out to do, let alone homeschool. I am grateful for the time that I am able to spend with my children. Our school day does not run on the 7 am - 3 pm school clock (well something like that...I really don't know how the school clocks run these days). We "school" all day, everywhere. We were convicted, my husband more so and earlier on than I, that this is what the Lord has called us to do for our family. Let me add in here that I am also thankful for my husbands leadership in this area. If we didn't make this decision than I would miss out on so much in the lives of my children. Yes, some days are crazier than others. Some days make me wonder if this really is the right thing for our family. But on the other hand, to see my children learn, to hear them read their first words. To work, and work (AND WORK) with them on something they are struggling with and see them get it...well, it just makes it all worth it at the end of the day.
(Please know that we are not against traditional school, it is just not what we have chosen for our family. Homeschooling is not for everyone or every child and we do realize that.)
