Working
I started a job a couple weeks ago setting ads at night at Kohl's. It is easy and does not require working much with customers. I tried applying at other stores in our area, but since I cannot lift more than 25 lbs. I could not get hired. This position was the only one I could get at this time in the same city where I live. It is a little frustrating because I am making half of what I have made before as far as hourly wages go.
Court
I have not posted this information in my blog before, but I am currently in a custody dispute with my ex-husband over my oldest daughter Sam. It is ugly. It is costing us a fortune and I hate the whole process. Anyone who has ever gone to court or been divorced knows that the full truth never seems to come out in court. It is always a "he said" "she said" situation with a judge trying to determine who is telling the truth. It is even worse when the other party is completely dishonest and submitting lies to the court. I refuse to stoop to that level and so we are under constant attack. It is a difficult time for our family. Sam is staying with her dad because I have allowed her to choose until our next court date towards the end of August. She has decided she wants to go live with her dad and I am respecting her choice even though I know it is not what is best for her. She has her agency and at nearly 17 years old is old enough to make these choices. Please keep us in your prayers so that we can make it through this difficult time.
Homeschooling
Many have asked me when we are going to start homeschooling (did we ever stop?) or if I am putting the kids back in school because I am working now. I am definitely a homeschooler. LOL! I know most of my family and friends cannot understand it and I really cannot explain it other than we love it! I have felt "called" to homeschool my children. We have found a method of homeschooling and curriculum that is fun for both me and the kids. I love having my kids around (most days) and enjoy knowing exacting where they are in their education and where they are going.
We follow the schedule Sam has at high school so we start on August 6th. If she stays with her dad indefinitely we may change our schedule a little.

Yea! We're back up!
On Sunday morning my email account was hit by something and I couldn't access it. Then my blog disappeared completely to which I almost ...
I hope everything will work out for the custody. Hope the job continues to go well :)
ReplyDeleteI love your new look and name of your blog. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the custody thing. I was thinking about you guys this morning and was going to e-mail you. We'll remember you in our prayers. You will be very blessed for being honest, even though the outcome may not be what you want. Agency... only imagine what Heavenly Father must think and feel as He watches us make choices He knows (and usually we know) aren't the best. Yet we were given the gift of agency. Thankfully we have a Savior who provided an atonement for us.
I'm so glad you love homeschooling. It definitely fits your family. There may be a day when I feel that is what I need to do. I will definitely be giving you a call if that day comes!
Sorry that you are having such a battle in court. I really hope and pray for the best. I love you guys so much take care.. Think of you often.
ReplyDeleteGood luck in court, I'll pray for your family. Thanks for all the inspiration and homeschooling help you give. I'll see you at the planning meeting.
ReplyDeleteI hope things work out for the best with Sam. She is a wonderful girl. What does setting ads mean? I'm glad you seem to enjoy it!
