If all we had to do was homeschooling....


it might not be as hectic!!!!  But we all know there is ALWAYS other things going on.


My second week of homeschooling the girls and my first week (well Wednesday & Thursday), I spent as much time at the doctor/E.R. and taking care of sick people and animals as I did working on school.


There is never a dull moment at the Reed's.  Monday Bailey stepped on a nail.  How, you ask??  Because she was out in the rain bare footed checking on her cats!!  So Tuesday we took our first field trip...to the doctor... where we found out that apparently there is a 12 year well visit we missed.   Bailey ended up getting 3 shots.  It ended well with pizza and ice cream at a cute place by the doctor's office.










Then on Tuesday, our dog Freckles...
My husband calls her the Highlander because he says she's immortal!!  i.e. - won't die!!!


 was bitten by one of our other dogs....

We're pretty sure this one - Mo Jo-was the culprit!!!

But it could have been this little cutie - Millie!!!!

They have been trying to make up ever since!!!







And then Thursday while we were doing yard work, Rusty (the hubby) cut two of his fingers with a chain-saw!!!!

This is him on Loritab!!!


Go ahead...make my day!!!!

Anyway, this week will surely not be as eventful.  God is faithful and He gives us all we need to do all we need to do.  My new motto is from Elisabeth Elliot - "Don't think about all you have to do, just do the next thing!"  How profound!!!

Have a great day!!!

    Oh, dear! Moments like those do seem to group together, don't they? I'm glad everyone is well and pray this week is much better!

Welcome to the

    School room "makeover" edition of the  Not-Back-to-School-Blog Hop!!!! This by far will be my most exciting post yet!!!  As I mentioned in my curriculum post, this is my second time to homeschool .  The last time I homeschooled , my children were in 2nd and 4th grade, and we homeschooled for two years.  We actually did our schooling in a small dining room where the table took up most of the room.  My daughter sat at one end of the table and my son at the other.  I sat in the middle.  I had a wicker basket thingy with 3 drawers with all our stuff.  Now, they are in 9th and 7th grade-which means they are much bigger - lol !!!  Not to mention the fact that I am schooling two of their friends.  That means two 9th graders and two 7th graders. Well, the room I did homeschool in no longer exist due to a little remodeling, and we just so happen to have an extra room that was supposed to me my husbands room for an office and/ or work- out room but actually had turned out

1 Corinthians 13 applied to Christmas

1 CORINTHIANS 13 – - A CHRISTMAS VERSION - By an unknown author If I decorate my house perfectly with plaid bows, strands of twinkling lights and shiny balls, but do not show love, I’m just another decorator. If I slave away in the kitchen, baking dozens of Christmas cookies, preparing gourmet meals and arranging a beautifully adorned table at mealtime, but do not show love, I’m just another cook. If I work at the soup kitchen, carol in the nursing home and give all that I have to charity, but do not show love, it profits me nothing. If I trim the spruce with shimmering angels and crocheted snowflakes, attend a myriad of holiday parties and sing in the choir’s cantata but do not focus on Christ, I have missed the point. Love stops the cooking to hug the child.Love sets aside the decorating to kiss the husband.Love is kind, though harried and tired. Love doesn’t envy another’s home that has coordinated Christmas china and table linens. Love doesn’t yell at the kids to get out of the wa

Not Back to School Blog Hop: Curriculum

This is our first year back homeschooling. They are in the 9th and 7th grade. The last time we homeschooled, they were in the 2nd and 4th and we homeschooled for two years. For the past three years we have been at a wonderful Christian school in our area. I taught 4th grade and my daughter had a wonderful experience in middle school, 6th through 8th grade. Our school only went to 8th grade. My son had a rougher time. The teachers were wonderful and he had great friends, played basketball and flag football, but academically he struggled due to his autism. The lockers, changing classes, over stimulation, etc. But the Lord has continued to be faithful throughout our school career whether we were in private school, public school, or homeschooling, so I have no doubt that the upcoming year will be no different.  I am so excited to be sharing this adventure with several close friends at my church and equally excited that I will be homeschooling a friend for each of my kids.  We are looki
