I already tore off my Sept calendar which is probably a blessing sooo...what I can remember is that mars and Tiffany and I went on a home school retreat in S. Utah and it was wonderful. Dian Jeppson stayed up til 3 am talking with me sharing her hard experiences with me, I went on a vision walk with Jodi Palmer I committed to family philanthropy of 10% every month, I learned more about what other moms do and I kinda started to realize that I need to woah back on my public school schedule at home. It's difficult to let it go and just strive to nurture a learning environment....but this week I feel that is my call.
October 2. Conference weekend- pretty successful- I forgot to involve my little kids and forgot to have my girls take notes bout what the prophets said but it was still traditional and fun. On Monday the 4th I started to feel wierd about going to TX to sing with sisters, wasn't sure what it was about and then I started to have my nerves breaking down about it just sooo much stress and stupor, I recognized later it was a clear stupor but I already have the ticket already have plans Adam is all on board and supporting. No, talked and cried it out with Jen and it is all going to be ok. She was sweet and understanding about it and Sal backed out because I did and that was probably good for her.
Oct. 5 Levi wrote his first word DAD at preschool was sooo excited to show his dad. Soo fun. Preschool has been wonderful for us. Big girls went into museum with Seeleys I stayed in the car having a rough time deciding bout TX, we got pumpkins from walmart which is always fun. Macy wanted a small one for her :)
Oct. 6 Another though day but Adam loved me and told me it would be ok and even in prayed asked for help for me to go and have a good time and we went to bookclub together and that was fun. He got meet all the homeschool ladies, it was fun bonding, Fri was gym. I think b/c I has having such a tough time we forgot to do school a few times and it all worked out. I want more of a house of learning than a house with a school schedule. I just need to figure out how to lead out in that.
Oct. 8 Told Jen for real the Spirit says don't go to TX and then we did gym and we had our 80's party and that was so fun. Adam came home early to help clean I got a serious 80's bang even though I don't have bangs :) LOTS of ratting and aqua net. No one showed up for 1/2 an hour after starting time and so we cleaned hung together listened to 80's music and then 6 couples showed up all at once and it was a ball! Joined the gym again too with Tif. last week. And this week I do better and rolling with school. Yeah!
Oct. 11 That's today. Doing a surprise b-day party for Kelly she needs one 4 kids 5 and under WOOOOOOW! I remember those days of noooo sleep. I love her. Hope it's a blast and v.t.ing today- Ila babysits me and it's good to be a regular :) I'm so blessed. Wonder how our philanthropy will go, wonder what discoveries bout home school God will show me this week. I have the perfect life...so happy and thankful. Liz
Oh yeah so last night Ellie, who has 2 adult teeth behind all her baby teeth lost her 1st tooth! Crazy- shes 7! Anyway Macy woke up at 3 in the morning I went in to see if the tooth fairy had come and couldn't find the baggie. Turned on the light woke everyone up, found the tooth put it under thepillow asked Adam to put a $ under and get tooth, he did, wrote a little note, asked adam to put note under pilow he did, bout 4:30 ellie comes out says theres no tooth fairy- just dad! I felt him, saw him, etc. She couldn't care less, not attached, etc. So then I go to the gym, ellie tell Jena I come home J is sad- is it true? I said that's what Ellie said...she was sad, made some sad remarks I said lets get him back! Lets write him notes and put them under his pillow: Dear Tooth fairy, you're bigger than we had expected" and she lit up and paughed real hard and thought that would be a good idea but for breakfast prayer she said help us not be sad about the tooth fairy and ellie who was playing with a sticky tac the whole prayer long said why would we be sad and jena said you were not even closing your eyes nor did you say amen. I think you need to practice being reverent. It was soo funny....2 totally different yummy kids! Ok, enough neglecting homeschool, off to teach, love, learn, etc.
