Things have been quite busy. I am back to work, our family was hit by an awful viral flu, and we have been trying to make decisions about our future.
We have decided that we would like to pull our kids out and school them at home starting this fall. When we looked at what we wanted for our family, we realized that we can accomplish much more if we keep them home and work together. It has been very enlightening to be a elementary school teacher this past year, and I have learned a lot. After seeing the inner workings, I have a new respect for public school employees. They work extremely hard. But I discovered two things: it is not for my children and it is not for me.
After a lot of prayer and pondering, I really have felt impressed that this is the right direction for my children. After a classroom of 26 children, I can now focus my efforts on only 3. That feels pretty amazing to be able dedicate my time to their learning and being a forever family.
This choice is right for us. I know it will help us raise our family and give them exactly what they need. I know we will be blessed and that feels pretty awesome.
