Blessed

I sit tonight in a very speculative mindset. It seems that everything is changing. Everything. The boys, now finishing their freshman year of high school, are starting to have an active social life and a demanding work life. They are rarely home- it seems. When they are, they are tired. Life has steadily moved forward. I have been out of the workforce for over 16 years and been home with the kids the whole time. Now they are starting to move on with their lives and I feel a little left behind. The funny thing is, I am pleased with the people these boys have become. I do not fear the fact that they are becoming independent. They can handle it. I fear the loss that I will feel.

There school year is closing with the 6 week corn trial that I talked about last post. We finally are getting around to it. It was delayed by the many things that they are involved in. All three kids now have baby goats, sheep and horses. They will get their chickens and bunnies in July. All of the animals keep the kids very busy. I like that. That keeps them occupied. Me too...

Life is good. School this year was great. The kids have grown. I have grown. Homeschooling has blessed me beyond measure.
