Homeschool & a pity party.......I think not!

So week 4 of homeschooling will be begin tomorrow and already I am feeling under attack. The kids and school are not so much the cause of this, but this weekend has proved to be difficult for my hubby and I. So why would this affect my homeschooling? Well, because, when I am having a hard time, I just want to crawl in bed with a cup of tea, get comfy , and escape in TV land where everyone's marraige seems so blissfully simple.... The thought of trying to teach my kids just doesn't sound like much fun and I want to have my pity party. Want to come?

Before you get worried, please know that I do know some truths in all of this.
Truth: I need to have some quiet time w/ God. I know that with him we will get through this and more than likely, we will be even bettter for going through it.
Truth: Forgiveness and Grace are gifts that were not only given to and shown to us, but we are told and asked to show this forgiveness and grace to others as well....even and especially to husbands
Truth: I LOVE my husband and our bumpy weekend seems small in comparison to the things we have overcome.
Truth: I'm sure he has felt neglected this past month while I have been engrossed in homeschooling stuff
Truth: I was probably at fault too....and I should probably admit it
Truth: Apparently God was homeschooling me (us) this weekend and we failed our class
Truth: Writing this all down and reading it reminds me that life is beautiful....MY life is beautiful and I am so thankful and blessed to be in it...
Truth: I will take what I have learned and teach my kids tomorrow with the love, joy , and grace that was given to me and it will be great!!!!

......But I think I will also have that cup of tea. :)
