Eli learns a new sight word and I'm there to hug him. Quin learns something intended for Eli and we're both there to hug him. DH jumps on the unit study bandwagon and joins the educational fun. Eli BEGS to "do school" on the weekend. Eli and Quin are at art class and I get a whole hour and a half to spend with Xander doing whatever we (I) want. All three nap at the same time (it does happen on occasion).
I love it when it is quiet in the school room and all the kids are working on whatever assignment they have been given. I love it when the spelling tests are over and all the words were spelled correctly! *clapping and cheering goes on* I love it when we have a picnic lunch in the living room for a change of pace. I love it when my children hide God's Word in their hearts and recite it back to me...
I love it when I can spend all day in my pjs with my kids. I love it when we have money in the bank. I love it when we get to go camping. I love it when my kids, husband and I can lock ourselves in and away from the rest of the world for a while. I love it when Grace kisses and hugs me and tells me I am precious! I love it when Samantha listens to me the first time!
I love it when my dd can't go to bed at night because she is so into a good book. I love when it when my dgd is entertaining herself but in a way that I know she is paying attention to her surroundings. I loved when my 21 mo old dgd sat on my lap and said "mama, B". I was like "what are you talking about and she pointed at a cursive R on my shirt and told me it was a B. It's a start! I love it when the same dgd brings me a book and says "read". I love when my youngest dd lets her oldest sisters fussing roll right off her back.
I love when my 2 year old does the letter thing too. He knows 'A' and 'G' I love when both kids sign the alphabet, the ones we know anyways. I love when Lance asks to do school! I love that I am seeing that he gets it! I love that I've found this board and I'm not afraid to ask a question!
...My dd says she wants to stay with me and be homeschooled! ...My kids ASK (this happened yesterday) if they can NOT play with friends, but stay in and get extra work done so they don't have to do it when their brother is home this week! Sounds like a good plan to me! ...My kids take a break from their schooling and come rub my shoulders while talking with me. I can handle that!
I love it when ds says "this is fun Mommy" when he's learning something. I love it when ds shows pride in his work and wants to show everyone when they come over. I love it when I get to see that lightbulb go of is ds's head when he gets something. I love it when we get to all play together and everyone is getting along.
Deena- what did I miss?? You're not hsing anymore?? Why is dd saying she wants to be hsed?? I love Saturday and Sunday-- no school!!!
I love that there is a place called Homeschool Spot where I can vent how much I hate something and noone will judgmental!! I love that I found this place and stuck around even with my dd in ps.
I love it when my hubby reminds me I'm a great mommy and a wonderful wife and I get to snuggle into him and all my worries suddenly are gone and I can be at peace at least for a few minutes!
No, I'm still homeschooling, sorry for the confusion! My oldest, ds16, is going to a boarding school that is very God-Centered and Mission-minded. He's having amazingly wonderful experiences and is doing so well in his classes that the school asked him to be a tutor for other kids, and he gets paid (money off the bill) for it! They have other work programs, and they spend the month of March going on Mission trips! He's VERY happy and so are we! DS14 said he wants to go there when he's a junior. DD said she DOESN'T want to go there, she wants to stay home with me and be homeschooled all the way through highschool!
Ha! That's EXACTLY the way I feel! And I too would marry my dh again---no doubt about it! Coming this March will be our 20th Anniversary, and we're more in love now than when we got married!!! Well, I mean it's a deeper, everlasting type of love now! He and I both feel soooooooooooo blessed! His sister, and my brother and sister have all been through divorces. My parents have been married for 54 years, and his parents for almost 46 years, and my dh and I plan on beating them----we're actually planning on eternity together! So, I guess my comment for this message is: I LOVE being so in love!!! :love: :love:
Oh, I had fun on the I Hate it when thread, but I like this one MUCH better. Let me jump on board with the lovin the hubby band wagon. I love it when I go away for a girls weekend with my daughter and come back and he surprises me by having our son's bedroom completly painted (I HATE painting, now I don't have to help yeaa!!) I love it when he leans over and kisses my forhead and whispers he loves me and it still gives me butterflies just like it did when we first started dating. I love it when I'm in the middle of another busy day of schooling and caring for an infant...hear my cell phone...see he sent me a text that says, "I am so in love with my beautiful wife!" Ah...ain't love grand?!?! We are so blessed ladies.
No ladies you are all wrong!!! My hubby is the best! Hehe!! I love it when the girls and I are away visiting my parents for a few days and he totally goes nuts because he misses us. He will call and tell me he would go crazy without me and the house is too quiet and when are we coming home and he needs us there making noise and keeping him company. He tells us the dog misses us too. Actually I think he does though.
Umm....I must say that I happened to be married to the best man this side of Heaven. LOL. Sorry ladies...lol. I love it when my toddler asks for "school whork". I love it when my kids and I decide to spend the afternoon playing board games. I love it when my kids enjoy learning. I love it when my dd finds a book or poem or anything that she is thrilled to read.
I love it when I have such a rich interaction with my daughter when she is learning something new. An interaction a teacher doesn't have time for and an interaction I would miss when we wouldn't homeschool I love it when my daughter is very concentrated working on something, than gets up, kisses her little brother and continues working I love it when my second daughter (age 2,5) is repeating the things her 4 year old sister is learning I love it when my daughters hug me and tell me they have had such a nice day I love it when my husband comes in when he hears me chearing cause one of the kids did something very good and he joins in chearing I love it when my daughter (4) tells me 'teacher, my mum said I could take my little brother and sister with me to school today' : me being that teacher and me being that mum. HAHA
I love it when I say I need to go somewhere, or say that something came up that I need to go be with my family and hubby clears his schedule to be there by my side. I love it when I look at my hubby and we can communicate with out saying a word. I love it that today I can say I don't want to have school.. now go use your imaginext and build a building that fills the livingroom. We will call this physics and count it anyway! I love it when I get to take a shower without a toddler in it with me.
