My Downward Spiral Day

My picture of a downward spiral!!!!

To say that today did not go as planned would be an understatement!!!  This is definitely going to be a "poor my heart out" post.  I will probably ramble and not make sense at times so bear with me. 

As you know, I have been homeschooling for a few weeks now, and it has been going great!!!  Well...really good... most of the time!!!  Things are always a little tough with my Alec, especially my un-medicated Alec!!  But we have been making progress as we make changes to help with the day - the schedule, the curriculum, etc.

Things with the girls have been wonderful.  Bailey is verbally admitting her enjoyment of homeschooling. This is a huge accomplishment from spewing venom!!!!  They enjoy their day so much, especially Science...

which... brings me to the downward spiral part.

Today I found out that Sydney won't be coming back.  Her family has decided to go in a different direction, and she will be starting regular high school tomorrow.  BRUTAL does not even being to sum up my feelings.  I am not upset with them...I love them, but I was very taken a back...to say the least.  And Bailey...I have no words.:(

All that being said, I know that God is faithful, and I know that He is in control.  And I know that satan wants nothing more than to defeat me, discourage me, and discombobulate me, and sadly, I allowed him to do that today but not tomorrow!!!! so I am hoping that anybody and everybody that reads this will pray for me - for my commitment to homeschooling, my kids, to remember what I am doing and why, for strength and patience, and for God's amazing grace in Bailey's life.

I feel like I will be starting from scratch tomorrow, and that is okay because I know God has a plan - a better plan.  My "plan B" has been His plan all along.



Happy Homeschooling (that was hard to write - lol)

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 f...

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 ...

Flourishing as a Pastor's Wife by Being a Team Player

Now I don't know much about football. My husband thought it was funny that this is the analogy and theme I chose to share with a group of pastor’s wives’ for a luncheon…but I really feel like this is where the Lord was leading me….our word for our ladies ministry this year is flourish …our focus in growing in grace…by His grace! Last year we cultivated…we pruned and weeded and got our soil ready, and this year, our goal is to focus on growing…so as I was thinking and praying on how I could best encourage us today to flourish as pastor’s wives…I was reminded of philosophy of sorts that Rusty and I have tried to live and model for our family… TEAM REED ….we wanted our kids to see that we work as a team…life is a team effort…even laundry…I remember my husband telling me early on in our marriage, that he was on my side…that he wanted me to succeed…….and we shared this with our daughter when she first got married that now she was part of TEAM REHIM…I even made her a TEAM REHIM sign….so...
