About Me

My Photo
A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.

Day Three, Still...


....in the dark. Virginia Power where are you? I'm almost out of candles, and I'm getting fume headaches from filling our tiny generator with gasoline every two hours. It's especially fun filling it in the dark while attempting to hold a tiny flashlight in your teeth. We can at least run two appliances at a time, so the food in the refrigerator is safe. Did I mention that generators are very loud?! I won't miss that roaring noise.

Lord, I am thankful for all our blessings, and tribulations. Help me to bear these annoyances with grace. I offer them up, in your name, Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

Oh, my goodness! You'v got to be kidding? This is NOT the time of year to lose power. Boy, I feel for you. Been there (for one week!), done that. Am sooo sorry you are doing it right now.

Hopefully,soon the power will be back on.

Miss your posts!
