This has been a slow Saturday for us. Just doing some house chores and cleaning the church. Jon took the boys and went to the Y to work out. I'm cooking my famous Shrimp Jambalaya and cornbread for supper tonight. YUM! My family will be happy!
I ordered a DVD of the PBS show Globe trekker UKRAINE! So tonight we get to "travel" to Ukraine:) I also got "Exporting Raymond" it started as a documentary showing how the TV show "Everyone Loves Raymond" was exported to Russia and how it got started there. They actually have it on TV. This documentary is very funny, we saw a small portion of it so we have our tv shows for tonight ready:) Which is good since we have a huge thunderstorm coming and it usually knocks out our satellite tv! The joys of living in the country LOL
I'm happy to announce Steve has finished 11th grade work with a 92 average!!!!! He had gotten behind but did a good job catching up! Next year (which starts Monday for him) will be a lot easier. He won't have as many classes (books) to do. He hopes to finish the year by December. I think that is ambitious but we will see! He will stay under the homeschool umbrella of a Christian homeschooling group. If he went back to his school, it would be confusing and he may have to end up taking more classes. He had to take some extra ones for this group as it was....
Shad will start back to school on Monday at the Christian school the kids have gone to for years. He is excited and has a new "Duck Dynasty" lunch box. He got all new clothes this year, He is going into 4th grade and can't wear anything from his 2nd grade year. He'll be styling:) He was homeschooled last year, since we were in NY most of the year.
With the little ones, we are still waiting on our wonderful (roll my eyes) public school system to have services for them. We have chosen not to send them to school for various reasons. Sam, with his low blood sugar issue, his eye drops and so easy to get sick, it is safer for him to be home. Sarah needs to feel emotionally connected with me, she would be confused by being in school all day. And Selah, there is no way I'd send her off all day! She would stay upset and sick. We have therapists coming for her, probably way more than the school would have for her and the other two.
Hope everyone has a good weekend. If you attend church please put Selah's name on your prayer list tomorrow. I would so appreciate that!!!
"Our life maybe a crazy life but it's our life" I'm married to a pastor of a small rural church, who is also the prison chaplain. We have 5 kids, each with their unique story. I love gardening & we all love the outdoors. Our life is not the way we planned it to be, but we are learning to trust God in every area. Come and read about our life as we live it to the fullest!
The start of school is not a welcome event in our household, mainly because my hubby is a teacher and I so enjoy having him home during the summer--I'm spoiled and know it! LOL I have no more high schoolers, as our youngest just graduated and will be attending our local community college with his older sister. We'll see how the college schedule meshes with the high school schedule. Our schools don't start until the Wed. after Labor Day, so we have a bit more time yet...never enough, though! Blessings to your family as a new school year starts. Shad is a gem, from all I've read about him. Hope Steve enjoys his sr. year--such an excitng time for him!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Steve!!! That's fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteWe dropped our "baby" off at UF on Friday. Lots of tears. But thankfully not too far away! She starts classes Wednesday and is happy to be there! My son started 6th grade.....but his course schedule is a mess and the bus schedule non-existent (we're hearing it may be a county-wide problem. fun.) But at least he's excited to start middle school!
I had a vivid dream about you and your family--everyone but Sarah looked different though lol. But it was so sweet, I was holding Sarah, and she was hugging me. I woke up with a smile it was just so darling!!
I hope Shad has a great school year!
Praise God, his schedule is perfect now! He is so tickled about taking robotics and string orchestra :) Plus we found fencing classes (the sport) for him on the weekends, he's over the moon!
DeleteNow....to get the buses fixed--please pray! His dad is having to take off work to take him/pick him up until it's fixed.
Have you thought about applying for Soci*l Securi*ty Disabily*y for Selah? SSDI She would automatically get health coverage. Just a thought. ~ Jo
