Ummmmm....

We went to mom's this evening, and Justus was gone to a ball game. When he got home...about 8:00...he had a dreadful pile of homework...algebra, science, grammar, literature, Bible, spelling...dreadful. I'm SO sorry for him. He had to get up at 7:30 this morning, had classes all day, then comes home with that pile of homework~ 4 chapters to read in literature! Poor little fellow. I told Daddy I'm going to give him a couple days, then ask if he wants me to homeschool him again. lol
And another thing...this evening, Daddy and I were sitting on the porch enjoying the beautiful day, when the neighbor's kids came home on the bus. They went in the house (little girl 7, boy about 10 or 11) then a couple minutes later, someone pushed the little boy out of the house and locked the door. He was pounding on the door, crying, and yelling ,"Please, please let me in!" POOR, POOR little thing. I was ready to call the police, but Daddy thought he should call the kid's grandmother first, but she came out (they live next door) and let him in before he could find the number. By the time we left for mom's he was back in his house...I guess his grandmother called them. Poor little thing. I was so sorry for him.
My kids are so blessed. They have no idea how blessed. No piles of homework, no one locking them outside...and that's just the two on my mind right now. ; )
They're watching "Bye Bye Birdie". It's SO funny. Someone mentioned it on a group, so I rented it...Emma says, "So far, it's a GOOD movie!" We're making connections all over the place with it. I'm continually amazed by how much my kids know. (And all with NO, NOT EVER, NOT A BIT of homework!)
Today has made me realize so much how GOOD our lives are. (That strikes me as being poor grammar, but it's too late to think.) lol
It is a blessing
It is a blessing to be
It is a blessing to be here
It is a blessing to be here with you.
Kisses to my babies!
