Errands and School

So today was supposed to be a "get things done" day for me seeing as its the only day this week I was really going to be home. Well....that went straight out the window! I had a few errands to run which I didn't think would take me long, but turned into me just being out and enjoying time with Tay and Matt. So no, I didn't get ANYTHING done at the house today like I was supposed to, but I got to spend time with one of my daughters and invest myself in their lives. So I call it a successful day anyways. We ran Amara to school, went to the bank, went to Kohl's, then ran to Va Beach so we could go to the Disney Store and get Tay a Minnie Mouse doll that she has been dying to have. Had lunch there at the mall which was nice and relaxing, then ran to Office Depot for printer ink. Oh, we also stopped by my favorite store at Lynnhaven which is C28. If you don't know about them, they are a totally Christian store. They sell tons of cool Christian clothing, jewelry, etc. The most shocking thing for me is that every time you walk in that store, whether you're just browsing or actually buying, sometime before you leave an employee asks if there's anything they can pray about for you. That is awesome! So after we ran errands, we got back on 64 just in time to miss the bulk of traffic, thankfully!

While I was driving out there I heard a song on K-love that spoke wonders to my heart. I have to go and find this song! But the chorus is something like "with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind, Lord I give it all to You". It talks about how you just want to give everything you have, your whole self, your money, your thoughts, all of it to God for Him to use as He pleases. That's definitely my goal, but I have to admit that I fall short of it.

Amara goes to a great school. It's a fundamental school and they all know her there and do their best to work with our situation (missing school a lot because of Dr appts, etc). But lately I've been thinking about how much I miss my child. She comes home many days just exhausted from the day's activities, but still has homework and extracurricular activities to do. So I've been thinking A LOT about it and I've talked to Jon, and I think we are going to homeschool both kids next year. (yikes!) The thought of keeping them both home and actually homeschooling is kind of scary to me. It means I'm going to have to dig up knowledge that I haven't used in many years and have to deal with them 24/7. So yea, the thought of it is a little overwhelming and anyone who knows me, knows that I'm not really that organized, but I'll have to be for this! I'm really hoping that this works out. It would give us flexibility to go on vacations when Jon gets his leave times, it will allow us to work around Amara's mood swings, and work around all the Dr appts they have also. So please pray with me that this will go well and that I can get my act together and do homeschooling the right way! I need all the help I can get! Okay, I think I've gone on long enough, thanks for sticking in there and supporting me through this everyone!
