I am excited about having the kids at home so that we can have more relaxing days. I'm tired of running around constantly and always being rushed.

I'm really trying to focus more on the moment and not all the lies ahead. I'm trying to allow God to lead me to what He wants next and not stress over my to-do list!

Homeschooling: I want to focus on the kids reading a lot, on their own and me reading to them. I'd like them to narrate back to me what they are reading. Occasionally they can write in their journal about what is happening in their life and also some funny writing for fun. No corrections made, just developing fluency and confidence. I want to take field trips and do a bit of their workbooks each day for subject matter. And math. :) 

Okay, must go start my day.

On my mind today...
I love days where I get to stay home and have time to workout, read, and get things done!!

I am praying God will grant me wisdom and direction in regards to my eating. I think I'm going to go with the 70/30 rule...or maybe 80/20. :) I'll eat mainly veggies, fruits, whole grains in moderation. Very limited sugar and processed foods and meat. I'm just  not sure I can do without all meat and all dairy. I can do without it to a great extent, and during a significant portion of the day. But it is hard to always do without meat at night for dinner. And sometimes I just want pizza or frozen yogurt!!

I'm also really wanting to severly stop buying things in excess of what we absolutely need. Stay on budget and stop bringing more junk into the house!!
