They were all part of the family, but never my mother. Writing this I feel like it was a dream.

I include myself in this group! We need to lighten up on each other and trust that what may be right for us, may not be right for other women.<br /><br />Which is a long way of saying, enjoy your housekeeper!

We've had a bumpy ride here and I've been "on my own" since February. Relish it while you've got it!

Your giving your older children time with you. Peaceful time where they get an education to boot. It's a terribly tough choice sending kids off to school or hiring a sitter. If we hadn't come to THIS school and felt strongly that it was time for the kids to go to school, I would still be homeschooling. And who knows? In three years at the next post, I probably will be. The thing is, you are their mother and you know what's best for them individually and you get a huge bonus of being able to have inspiration for them. And somehow it really does work out to be what's best for all of them. *hugs*<br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08616276555920544920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425073191016917244.post-54055031093139311092012-09-16T11:41:41.093-04:002012-09-16T11:41:41.093-04:00A great, great ride indeed.A great, great ride indeed.Z.
