I don't know how you also throw in home-schooling, but Christy, "you" are about the ONLY person that I would say makes it truly a success. I have seen plenty of kids from h/s environs that are so lacking the ability to even respect 'an outsider'. But you work that in also.<br />Perhaps it is your deep and abiding Faith too, and theirs.<br />At any rate what you are doing is almost spiritual in itself.<br /><br />When do your babies come home?<br />There are [still] dresses out in the shed- Many many clothes and whatnot. Of course, everything needs cleaning,- and what doesn't work for clothing WILL work for the children to be making their own quilts. <br /><br />I am hoping that Randy will show up today and shovel my concrete off. If not, I will probably try to do it myself. Since his stroke, 6 years ago now, he forgets sometimes. Just that he doesn't seem to forget anyone else. Oh well. <br /><br />Casey and Greg are down in Milwaukee at the MidWinter Games Festival (Midwest convention at the Hyatt regency). They are staying on the 15th floor!<br />But she is sick too- wrote yesterday that Greg had gone down to "game" on Friday night, but she had too much pain to even move after dinner. <br />One day 'they' will find something- ANYthing- that will fix her for once and for all.<br />They will be home at some point today... <br /><br />You spoke of organizational strategies, and made me laugh. I look around my own home and realize I have no advice for you- Although the clear plastic storage containers are very helpful. I bought a few before Christmas and stored some of my own sewing stuff in them. (Not that I found my table mind you, we still ate off our laps during the Packers game). hehehe<br /><br />You spoke of the horses too- yes, it takes a while to get them up to speed while they are busy growing up. Nice that the children can see that, and know that even horses have to learn, one step at a time. <br /><br />My love to all.<br /><br />XOXO<br />MeAnnehttp://flintville.multiply.com/noreply@blogger.com
