I wanted to name this blog "I'm just trying to cope!" That sounds whiny, so I chose to be spiritual instead! From Mark 2:52 "But his (Jesus) mother treasured all these things in her heart." As a homeschool mom with four children at home, two step children that dh and I raised, and two granddaughters, I often am focused on getting through just one more day....I'm trying to look on all those milestones as gifts to be treasured, not to be dreaded or rushed!

Changes.....
Tonight my teen daughter will take her first class at a local community college as a dual enrolled homeschooled student. I'm proud that she scored high enough in the entrance tests to qualify. At the same time, I'm nervous because this is a big step for her - and us!
Please pray for protection for her as she travels the campus for the first time! Thank you.
Today while cleaning out some cabinets, I found some baby food jars that had been turned into "place" jars. You know: ones, tens, hundreds,etc. The children would drop beads in each jar to show that they understood place value. We haven't used them for a long time because all of the children are now past that stage. I took the jars to the recycling bin after debating whether or not to get rid of them. In the end, the desire to declutter and accept the reality that no one in this house needs the baby food jars won out!
Have a blessed weekend!
