Dear Journal,
I've had two things on my mind: laundry and school.
I'll tell you about the laundry first. Laundry must have been put here by God to cause us women to evaluate what truly is important and get our priorities in line. Sometimes I know I'm my worst enemy. I want to somehow go through it and only leave about 7 outfits to each child,plus a few dress clothes, but that is easier said than done. (And still, this would be a lot of clothes.) Why can't I part with the clothes? I part with mine just fine, but not theirs. My excuses range from , "..the next child will need it... to... that is such a nice outfit..." The thought that comes to me is that these THINGS will drown me if I let them. The other thought that comes to me is that it is not God's desire for me to set my affections on things here below. Jimmy says less is more. I want to have less clothes.
The second thing I want to tell you about is school. I really have enjoyed homeschooling our kids. I haven't enjoyed the bad days but I guess we have had more good days than bad because I like homeschooling. I love talking to them about a school subject and then snugling down to read about it in a book like Little House on the Prairie. We've been learning about weather (storms, snow, thunder, seasons) We decided to read the first in the Little House on the Prairie book together, and it fit in so well. I'll always treasure these times with them. I guess when they're gone I'll also miss some of the laundry.
