I have been stressed out during the days at work and trying to forget about everything that is going on around me. I set and think about what the kids are doing at school and try to get through the day with thinking of them. When five o'clock hits I try to forget about work and everything that goes on there. There are times where it comes up in subject like in the newspaper or t.v. and it brings it all up again. It brings it all back and then I replay my day through my head. I try to find a way not to take it home but it is so hard. I try to watch my children and watch their smiles to enjoy my evenings. The kids have brought joys to my evening and I just want to say how blessed I am to have them. Last night the kids and I gathered our bibles up and for about 45 minutes we just sat and read bible stories. Tanner has pictures in his bible so he would look at a picture and get so excited to read that story. Carlee read to us about turning everything to God, and not gossiping and to forgive. I need to work on that leason for the two or three weeks I think. It was so nice not to have a tv going, or having to be at a certain place at a certain time. It is funny how your kids can teach you so many things and they never know that they have.
Carlee has been having quite a bit of homework and I have learned that Tanner just tells his teacher he doesn't have time. I asked Tanner Tuesday night if he had homework after we got home from Carlee's volleyball game. He looked at me and said, "Well Mrs. Weber told us to read tonight, but I told her I couldn't because Carlee had a volleyball game." I told him he really shouldn't do that and we will always find time for the homework. I have sat down wondering a couple times what poor Mrs. Weber is thinking about my son. I guess you can't blame the child for not trying to get out of the homework. I am beginning to wonder how I have one child that is so self concious about every assignment and then another that tells his teacher he just can't do his homework because he has something else going on. Wow!!!

I'm sorry - but Tanner cracks me up!!! I see you in him soooo much :) Payback for your upbringing, you know ;) ha! You're so right, though, our kids teach us so much without even realizing it. Try not to worry about work too much at home - just know in your heart you can lay your head down on your pillow at night and know for a fact you haven't been involved in any of it, so it's okay!
