It has been a while since I’ve blogged so here is a quick overview of what has been filling up my days…

 

  • I’ve had a bad cough for weeks and weeks.  With that comes sleepless nights and exhausted days so that takes up time.
  • The kids have had dentist appointments
  • Saturdays have been spent at Netball and Cricket – this year all the ages played at the same time which shortened the amount of time we were in town.
  • I’ve gone out for lunch and morning tea with a few new friends
  • I’ve taught the boys to do the grocery shopping
  • Josh and I went to an evening hosted by the Universities in our State.  Josh was the only boy there!
  • I held an information night for parents – the topic was:  how to teach character intentionally in your home.
  • Doctors appointments for myself and one of my kids
  • Farewell BBQ, Sleepovers and playdates for the kids
  • Oh, I nearly forgot!  I have release my book, Heart Focus Parenting, online.  That was a bit of a learning curve!

 

It has been a very busy time.

 

This week my goals are

  • to see a doctor for a second opinion
  • help my kids finish creative projects to put in the local agricultural show
  • finish a digital photo album, send off to printers
  • catch up with a mum regarding discipleship homeschooling
  • help with the youth group progressive dinner
  • attend an online short course (2 hours)
  • cancel my dentist appointment – don’t think I can go to the dentist while I have a cough!

 

During these activities I want to teach my children

  • to use our time wisely; to be aware of what we are doing, and what we should be doing
  • to discuss the idea that we all have our strengths, and to encourage each other in those strengths
