Summer

It is almost the end of the school year.

And we are scrambling like mad to finish before we go away for vacation. Or even before VBS.

The thing about homeschoolers is that we are so retarded about some things.  Like finishing school books to THE LAST PAGE. 

Is that really necessary? Somehow, I don't think so. And yet.......

These last 2 weeks have been so exciting.  Our co-op's last meeting, my last Spanish class, Samuel's last piano lesson, his recital, painting around the house, Spring cleaning, graduation parties, picnics, retreats, I can't even remember what I did yesterday because I fall in bed exhausted kind of weeks.

I hadn't even talked to my MOM is 5 days!!!!! ( I finally called her last night)

Yeah, I am ready for summer.

But then I think of my summer projects, and I think I just want a nap.

PS, for those of you who are the praying type, please pray for this adoption.  When we first started, people who have gone through it always told us how there is just one more thing that needs to get done, and that one more thing slows down the process.  Well, they are right.

But the thing is, China is now in the process of changing their way of doing things.  After decades.  I believe it is a good way.  The people who start next year will benefit from the kinks we are going through.   But we are the guinea pigs.

Its okay.  She is worth it.  But it sure does challenge one's life.
