bad day

Exactly why would I choose to homeschool, be a housewife, and try to run a business from home? Today, I don't know. I feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and ready to just give up. My husband is in tremendous pain and working so hard, to the detriment of his health and I just wish this business would take off faster than it has. The boys are starting cabin fever early. One kid wet his bed and then the dog, somehow, got on my bed and peed on it which of course I didn't find till I was ready to make the bed. So now I'm doing laundry at 7:30 at night and had to make the bed with mismatched sheets. I just wish wish wish the business would take off. Instead I'm moving through molasses. St. Theresa said, "Let nothing disturb you; nothing frighten you. All things are passing. God never changes. Patience obtains all things. Nothing is wanting to him who possesses God. God alone suffices." And they say God never gives you more than you can handle. Between the refinance, my husband's blood clot, 3 boys, homeschooling, the economy, building a business, I hope it's not more than I can handle.

Hi Gina,

Good for you for decidiing to homeschool! Keep up with it, the end result will be well worth it. I know from experience. My mother homeschooled me from 4th grade on through 12th. By the time I was a scenior I was already enrolled in college! She is very proud of me. I used Abeka courses throughout my education too. They are great! You've chosen to take on quite a bit, homeschooling, housewife, business. Good Luck with it all. I started my Melaleuca business so I would have more time to dedicate to my college courses, I am now working on my Master's in Distance Education. I want to teach in the online format. Mela has given me a lot to be thankful for, but it can be tough, really tough on some days. Feel free to contact me anytime if you want to chat.
