~Busy But Good~

Hey everyone. I hope you're doing well! =) Things are good here. I have been so busy but in a good way. God is so amazing-He loves us! Julian is doing better, he's acting more like himself. Thank God-so grateful! I am still smoke free so that's amazing too! I have been Home Schooling 5 children instead of my 3 so that has been keeping me really busy! We rotate on the laptops for them to do the online portion, we do some work sheets, they also write paragraphs about different things, they work on Mystery science which is awesome, we do reading comprehension plus 20 minutes a day of independent reading, and most recently in history we are learning about slaves & the underground railroad. Friday will be Fun Day which is where we will do more active things such as baking, learning about nature, doing arts & crafts projects, exercising, etc... They all love learning together but it's a lot of planning for me! Lol. I love it though. =) At night once the older 2 kids leave I have a 2 year old I watch now too, from 5pm until midnight. Did I mention I am REALLY busy lately? Oh! Please keep Johnny in your prayers, he has an upper respiratory infection and he's miserable right now. He missed too many work days so he's working through it but I know it's really tough on him too. I think you are all updated now and I will respond in between other things. The picture is of some of the kiddo's reading National Geographic magazines for kids.

I'm glad Julian is doing better, and that you're busy babysitting and doing the homeschool work.. making that money and doing what you love. Happy for you. But make sure to rest and not over do yourself. Your family, and all of us here, need you healthy. And same goes for Johnny !! Hope he takes it easy when needed and gets better soon!

You are doing so well with not smoking especially with going thru Julian's medical problems as of late. Don't ever give up, stay strong, your family is depending on you. The kids look like they re so engrossed in their school work. I hope that Johnney feels better soon.

@Juliaacv When I first quit and craved one, I watched another sermon from Todd White on youtube or read a Bible verse or prayed. After some time, the desire and thoughts were completely GONE! God is so awesome!! When you actively seek Him, it's amazing what happens.

@Juliaacv It honestly feels like I have never smoked a day in my life. Seriously, God removed it and wiped away the memory of it. I don't even want one at all now-no desire whatsoever. God is so amazing!! =) Yes, they are loving school! Thank you.

I've also been dealing with a respiratory infection. I think I'm on the other side of it, but it just lingers.
