Who Am I?

I am a woman, a wife, a mother, a sister, a friend, a daughter, I am a person just like you.
All to often we forget that the people who are subjects of the rumors and gossip flying around are people just like you and I. They are someone’s child, parent, sibling, friend or spouse. They are REAL and they have FEELINGS.

When I am sad, even when I am happy for that matter, songs often pop into my head. Today as I sat on the edge of the bathtub waiting for the 3-year-old to go potty for the umpteenth time this morning I sighed, one of those ‘I am so tired’ kind of sighs and this song popped into my head and I prayed right then and there.
This song has always touched my heart and maybe its because I feel like this so often.

When we first decided to start this homeschooling adventure in January of 2015 it was overwhelming! I was nervous, excited, scared, and eager to be the best I could be. I just knew that this was the best thing I could do and that I would be the perfect teacher. Well, that last thought was short-lived.
