Well, for now it's just in cyberspace. God has a lot of stuff to do before it is actually a physical move.
I have officially had enough of Blogger's crap, so I'm taking my toys and leaving. Please follow me to -

ICU ~ Intensive Care for the Christian Unschooler
Ok. So I'm a day late, but better late then never.
This week we want to… maybe go to the zoo. We have talked about creating another fairy habitat.
The kid is…really enjoying moshimonsters.com. He has learned that 30+30=60 because 3+3=6. It finally clicked along with more advanced adding from scoring 'rox' (currency) while playing games on this website. That is so exciting to me! He apparently told Dave (dh) while watching Little House on the Prairy, that he wants to learn how to read. This is a very interesting development because he has said recently that he still hates math and reading. We just returned 9 books to the library that we didn't read once. So while I'm excited, I'm also not quite convinced. We'll see.
I am learning… I just made my first batch of laundry soap. That was fun. Can't wait to use it. I am going to attempt to make bread with my bread maker for the first time.
I am struggling with…being rather irritated with my child. Truth be told he isn't the problem. Car trouble is the problem. We just spent $600 to fix it, and it ran all of a week! Dave and I are very frustrated. It started acting up on the way to the Gulf on July 17th. We got about an hour and a half away from home and got stranded. We spent 8 hrs on a hot, rainy Sunday either in front of Advanced Auto Parts or at a mechanic's shop. The mechanic ended up driving us all the way back home to get Dave's car, so we could at least get to the beach. He had the car for a total of 2 weeks, brought it back up here for us, which was very nice, but now it's doing something similar, but not exactly like it was previously. We simply don't have the money to keep dumping into this car. Dave seems to be convinced that because it's a Toyota that we should be able to get 200,000 miles out of it. It already has 150,000. I'm ready to throw in the towel and get something else. My hopes are for an old VW bug. We'll see.
This week is the first time…I've made laundry soap a fairy garden.
I am grateful…that I'm feeling better. I've started taking some vitamins and a new medication. I think it might be starting to help in a couple of ways.
Something God has taught me this week is…that I need stop judging some specific people, and just love them.
