So, here I am.  Let me just say I am new to the "blogging world" I guess you could call me a "blogging virgin".  I have read many blogs, and been invited to help out with one, so I didn't want to look totally stupid and have no understanding on how this all works. So alittle about me.  First I cannot spell so lets just get that out of the way and out in the open now.  However more important things about me is that I love my God with all of my heart and all of my soul. With every fiber of my being I long to do His will.  Sometimes though I think it would be easier if He would mail that "will" to me or if He had a facebook page where I could ask him questions like..."do I need to be concerned that my little boy doesn't want to play with trucks and would rather sit in a pink cradle and pretend he is a baby?"  He can't help it, he is surrounded by girls. Which brings me to my next job, I am a full time momma.  By "full time" I mean round the clock no holidays no sick time no weekends off, "on my own" momma of three beautiful children.  Sure there is a daddy in the picture, my wonderful husband of 8 years.  He works a lot though so I am on my own most of the time.  I have struggled with this but I know that he is doing what he has to do so that I can fulfill my next job.  I home school my kids.  By home school I mean we have the books. We have the worksheets. We have the humongo bookshelf that we built complete with a built in white board.  We have books and puppets, and all that fun stuff.  Why did we choose to home school? What other struggles do we face?  What and how can God use a simple woman with three kids?  Well these are all good questions that I hope to let you in on the answers as I go.   So, I guess I can say thanks for following, (or is that what they call it with blogs, or can you only "follow " on twitter?)  I am so out of the loop...........anyway thanks for taking the time to read and I hope and pray that we can connect on some level and what I have to say can encourage you and get you through your "mommy wars" :)
