Well I am sorry I haven't been a very good blogger.  No good excuse just hadn't made the time.

Right now I am working on changing around our life.  We let the outside world take over and I am tired of it.  I am looking at what I want to eliminate out of schedule for next year.  I have decided that besides church we were only going to allow one thing a week for both of my children.   The thing I struggle with is that I will let someone down, and I am starting to realize that is not true.  I will not let anyone down but my kids.  Right now things are stressed out at home and that is just wrong.   I want our kids to be comfortable at home and enjoy their time here and not think about what next activity we are headed to.  I want to be caught up with my housework not playing catch up all the time.  So this is my hurdle in our life right now.  I let all the people know with the activities that we wouldn't be a part of next year, and that went well.  Now I just need to finish out the next month and then life can slow down.

I will let everyone know what is going on with our little homestead with my next writing.

As my kids get older.........regret creeps in.
Regret that I 'cared what others thought' and sacraficed time with my family because of that.
And where are those "others now"?
They don't even know I exist.

Regret that I spent so much time volunteering (in 'good things' too) and preparing for this 'class' or that 'project' while my kids sat at a table and colored or what ever.......
All for what?
Nothing.
I wasted time.
And the whole time, I was wasting time, I was cause the stress level in the house to sky rocket. So what LITTLE time I was spending, I was causing stress!!!

It is a wicked web I weaved. Because I was deceived.

Stay in His Word, and He will never lead you astray!!
