Life

I had really hoped in starting my blog that my family would find it interesting and leave a comment or insite on our family's affairs. I guess either they don't find my blog site interesting or they just don't leave a comment. It isn't as though they call me on a regular basis and see how we are and if I do call they are either not answering their phones or not in the mood to talk. Sometimes it just gets lonely.
I still haven't made my decision on where the kids will be doing their schooling. I am still praying for the Lord's guidance in this matter. I have well meaning friends who tell me that they should be in regular school, but they also have great confidence in the public school system. I don't think that the public school system is a great place for kids, hence my reasoning not to send my kids there and the hard decision I am facing now.
I am staying fairly busy with the four boys at home. I took them to the local Y today to swim. I figured we may as well get use out of the membership. They had a lot of fun, but stayed a little too long because Markus was starving by the time we got home so once lunch was started I had to nurse him to get him to settle down.
I started reading Jeanette Oke books a couple of weeks ago after watching her movies of the Love Comes Softly series. They sure butchered the movies in comparison with the books. I read the whole series in less then a week. I haven't sat down and read for years. It feels good to just sit and read an adult book. Of course Markus is right there on my lap trying to get my attention or just wanting to nurse. I think he is nursing more now that Corrisa is gone then he did when he was a baby. At least he is sleeping through the night. That is a plus.
I have been enjoying my quite time with the Lord in the mornings. Makes me feel refreshed. I am hoping once the big kids get back to have a nice walk or run in the morning before my quite time. See if that helps me also. I definitely need to lose some weight. I am at the heaviest I have been in a long time. I usually work myself to death to lose weight, but haven't had the will power since Markus was born. I think I have been suffering from a little depression and doing too much eating and not enough exercise. I love to walk, but with 6 kids tagging along it doesn't seem to be a benefit.
Been having problems sleeping lately. I think I have too much on my mind lately to sleep well. I am not tired during the day, so I guess that is a benefit. I think tomorrow instead of continuing with the book of John I should look up verses on anxiousness. I am in need of reading up on that topic. Well, enough of my boring life for those who do read. Thanks Kelly. Have a good night and until next time.
