I-CU

This is a weekly thingamajiggy called I-CU, which means Intensive Care for the Christian Unschooler.  Here's my blabbering for the week......

“This week we want to…”  Well, I'm not sure about WE, but after the mess my children made while I was gone over the weekend, WE (they) need to get it cleaned up.  Still working on that.  They have until the end of the week.  Or else.  LOL

“The kids are…”  currently RE-destroying my living room.  BLAH!

“I am learning….”  what kind of woman I want to be.

“I am struggling with…”  feeling adequate.

“This week is the first time….”  I have been able to truly let go of some things in the past, such as....my father.  For years, I have been wearing his original wedding ring that he wore when he married my mother the FIRST time they got married.  (Not as my own wedding ring, just on another finger) Yeah, they married and divorced each other twice.  Neat.  Anyway, I felt like God said LET IT GO and that I needed to take off that ring and never wear it again.  My father and mother have both put me out of their lives, so taking off this ring was just my way to say that I'm finally OK with that.  I wasn't created for them anyway.  God created me for HIM!

“I am grateful…”  for the opportunity to be at home with my children.  I love them so much and can't imagine the days when I used to send them off to school every day.  Home education is such a GOOD thing for our family.

“I’m looking forward to…..”  cooler temperatures!!  I think my whole mood has been in the toilet this Summer.  I lost most of my garden due to the heat and haven't been able to use the pool either because algae infested us earlier in the Summer, started eating on my pool liner and I just ended up giving up on it.  Going to have to get a new liner next Summer to be able to use it.  I hate the heat!  I WANT COOL temps!
