I-CU

It's time for my weekly visit to the I-CU. Intensive Care for the Christian Unschooler that is. ;)

This week we want to....
make more concrete plans for our first ever family vacation.


The kids are...
as of right this minute, everyone is still sleeping. The man-child starts his new job this evening. He is a wreck. I'm a little on edge as well, especially after the inquisition I got from the man who interviewed him (regarding HOW we homeschool). I know my son is brilliant, articulate and very well spoken, I just want him to feel comfortable in his new job.


I am learning..
that no matter what I do in life, someone is not going to like me AND that my perception of how many people dislike me is probably a bit exaggerated. I've just always had this idea that everyone dislikes me. If someone doesn't interact with me and they normally do, I automatically think they no longer like me. It's horrible feeling that way.

This week is the first time...
I have wanted to get back on the treadmill. We even put it in storage for awhile because we just didn't have room for it. Today I'm going to try to rearrange the furniture so it can come back home. I plan on walking while I watch my new fave show on Netflix.......Monk!

I am grateful...
Oh so grateful for my husband. I mean, I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this man. He is my everything and without him, I don't think I could breathe. Of course, YES, in reality, I know that I could. I know that life goes on, but we are so connected that he is on my mind 24/7. I think about him while he's away from us and I dream about him. Even in our rough times, I have never stopped loving him and I never will.

The biggest change I'd like to see take place in my family in the remainder of 2011 is...
that we become more intentional in helping others in need. There are some opportunities in our local area and I would really like to get the family out there being the hands and feet of Yeshua.
