About Me

I am a 42 yr old mother to 3 beautiful children, ages 19, 15,and 9. (two have type 1 diabetes.) I am married to my best friend for over 18 yrs. My life has been amazingly turned around by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Life is busy & difficult at times, but I try to remember how very blessed we are. This blog is where I talk about homemaking, homeschooling, struggles we face with our daughter and the challanges of day to day life with juvenile diabetes.

Back in public school

Daughter started back to public school this week, I really have mixed feelings about it. I have struggled this fall feeling that I wasn't teaching her enough. I really have worried more about her being isolated the past few months also. Even with the co-op meetings each week and her seeing her friends on the weekend. If she uses this as a new start and tries hard.. things can go well, she is excited. On the other hand if she starts getting into trouble and ect... I will feel we made a step backward. One thing that finally hit me was that no amount of homeschooling will change her into what I hope she will be, if she turns away from God and us, if she chooses to live worldly and in pain it's not because I put her back in public school. Lets face it 2 1/2 yrs of homeschooling haven't changed that part of her much if any. True, it is easier to control her behaviors but sooner or later she is the person that must decide what life she wants to live. I may change my mind tomorrow but for now....its where we are at.
