Since I have been gone I have been thinking about several subjects.
Homeschooling my 3 children. Weight loss. Moving.
We have been at the hospital twice this month. One of my twins, Angelica fell in the back yard and had to get 6 Stitches in her eyebrow. On Easter another twin had to be taken to the hospital because she had an allergic reaction. The problem with that is we have no idea what she could be allergic to.
My daughters all stared in the play The Wizard of Oz at school. Taylor was the Wicked Witch she was incredible. Angelica was one of the main Munchkins and she was really great. They both remembered their lines and got over the jitters. We are very proud.
Taylor is in the gifted program, she is also part of Duke Tip and now we found out that she is going to be able to take classes at Eastern Kentucky University this summer. As for Angelica we are working with her to bring up her test scores, she is just a couple of points away from Taylor's. We are also preparing for our little boy's preschool graduation. We have already paid for his cap and gown and his class ring.
We have decided that it would be best for our family to move this summer. Really it is very exciting, we can't wait to get to that next step in our lives. We are also thinking very hard about homeschooling. Jon thinks isn't sure about this idea but I really think it will be great. They are really missing out on religious education. Plus living in a small town they really don't have Catholic friends to relate to. They really have to explain our faith a lot.
This week we are going to work on praying together before school. This is the prayer that we will say.....
Prayer before Study or Instructions
Incomprehensible Creator, the true Fountain of light and only Author of all knowledge: deign, we beseech Thee, to enlighten our understanding, and to remove from us all darkness of sin and ignorance. Thou, who makest eloquent the tongues of those who lack utterance, direct our tongues, and pour on our lips the grace of thy blessing. Give us a diligent and obedient spirit, quickness of apprehension, capacity of retaining, and the powerful assistance of Thy holy grace; that what we hear or learn we may apply to Thy honor and the eternal salvation of our own souls. Amen.

Something I always like to keep in mind as I go through the week is Proverbs 31:28-29
Her children rise up and praise her, her husband extols her: "Many are the women of proven worth, but you have excelled them all."
That is the type of person I want to be.
