A Little About Me (that is original)

The usual things - Married mother of three.  My children are aged 12 years, 10 years and 7 months.  Yes, the third child is that second time around baby.  My older children's father passed away many years ago when they were very small.  The good Lord blessed us with a wonderful man five years ago.  He has been amazing walking into a ready made family.

I currently homeschool my 12 year old.  The school system here is not a good match for him.  So I ventured into homeschooling in 2010.  That was one of those things I said I would NEVER do.  Never say NEVER.  This summer I am pulling my 10 year old out of public schools to homeschool as well.  Say many prayers for me please.  I will need them.  Most of the time I feel like I am not measuring up to the other homeschool moms around me.  They seem to have it all together.  I feel more like I am doing the dog paddle to keep up while they are doing the breaststroke.

Life has been a roller-coaster for me.  I have experienced more that I would have like to in the "downers" but have also had many "uppers" that continue to outnumber the other.  Life hasn't been easy and there are times that I just want to SCREAM.   I know that much still lies ahead of me.  So, I will just throw my arms up and enjoy the ride.  "Weeeeeeee"  What else should I do?  The Lord gives us this journey to mold us into the person that He see fit; not what I see as fit or what my neighbor Susie Mae sees fit.
