In my mind, I imagined myself sitting quietly in the still of the night, calmly sipping a cup of tea or coffee while articulating my day as my family slept.  I have realized that my dreams will never become reality!  Instead I sit among unfolded laundry, two children with wet heads from nighttime showers, a husband that just got home from work, a dog and his squeaky toy, the TV blaring and one child facetiming a friend.  I can only shake my head in amazement that I can articulate my name, much less a complete thought!

And so it begins.... a journey into the unknown.  This wonderful, crazy world of homeschooling.  The room has been painted, the curriculum ordered, the table and desk placed in the room and the date set.  God has placed me here.  God will lead us on. The looks, bad advice and criticizm will come, I'm sure.  If God gave me this priviledge, doesn't it seem logical that He will give me the grace and love to explain that priviledge to others?  What an awesome opportunity to share His testimony.  I'm honored! 

I love to write, and haven't had a chance to indulge that passion in some time.  This blog will allow me to put "pen to paper" and hold on to those funny and heartwarming moments that I'm sure are to come.  I don't really expect a mass following, and that's perfectly fine.  For those of you who do find my life entertaining, please visit often!  I'm sure you won't leave disappointed.

And so, for now, I end with "thank you for visiting".  May this be the first of many posts to come.
