it's the most wonderful time of the year....


now don't get me wrong, I totally LOVE my kids but..........................
I'm very happy for school to start!
When school ends and summer starts I am so excited for no routines, carefree days, beach excursions, sleeping in, camping, and backyard parties...
but I gotta tell you by the middle of August I can hardly WAIT for September.

I can hardly wait for routine, for getting the kids off to school and morning cups of coffee when you really NEED it. I am tired of being the main source of entertainment for 5 kids, tired of screaming at them to turn off the TV and go play outside, tired of hearing how bored they are while I'm packing up or unpacking camping equipment. It's time for new haircuts, school clothes, and the distinct smell of a school binder fresh from the store. ALL of my kids go to school this year, (the twins start kindergarten) and the scent of momentous change is in the air.

bLauna,

You probably don't know me, I used to go to the Place a few years ago and I remember going the service when your husband was baptised. I remember you talking about being a Christian when your husband was a non believer. Since then I have gotten married to a man who was a new believer, he is now greatly doubting his faith & is looking to other faiths / science for truth. I don't know how to react to this and sometimes we have heated debates on the validity of Christianity. I guess I am just hoping that since you have perhaps experienced something of what I am going through that you might have some advice. I also really want to come back to The Place again, but it makes me sad to think of doing it without him. I hope it is ok to have posted this here, please let me know if you don't feel comfortable talking about this with me.

Thanks,
Vanessa
