Yesterday was one of those days that you dream of.  The type where you pinch yourself to see if you are awake.   It was so peaceful and content.   I described it to a friend as just having the Holy Spirit filling my house all day.  I really thought maybe it was just me.   I ask J late yesterday afternoon how her day had been.  She first said great then she changed it to awesome.  She thought a minute and said awesome was right words just didn't do it justice. 

She worked on her school work without fuss.  I did laugh she got side tract a few times.  Once it was raining and she wanted to go play in the rain.  I ask if she was done with school.  "Almost!"  So she got to almost play in the rain.  She ask if she could work on the porch.  I said sure.  That I would give her a chance.  She did finish her writing while she and the dogs swung on the swing.  Today we add math and grammar.

I am seeing more child like behaviour. Not childish, but child like.  This is good.  She is playing with the littles.   Not parenting them.   I told her yesterday evening how proud I was of her not bossing.  She said she was trying.  She is doing a great job!  MJ was the one I told yesterday that I was the mom and he couldn't have my job!  

We have heard NOTHING from AR on the homeschooling or even a check to see how we are doing.  How J is doing.   That makes me sad.  I would have thought some of her workers would have touch base.  Oh well out of sight out of mind I guess.  DH has called trying to find out from the lawyer about the homeschool and nothing.  No return call or anything.   I am still trying to walk in faith and trust God.  Allowing dh and God to deal with it.  I do have peace most of the time that it will all work out.  

MN is still struggling.  It really came to me last night she has been having issues for a while now that I didn't notice with trying to get J.  Maybe I chose to ignore that she was more and more causing turmoil.  She was gone all day yesterday.  She got home and in less than an hour I was getting the "mom can we talk" this time from MJ.  It seems MN went out of her way to pick an argument with him and said some hurtful things.   I came down hard.  She and I talked off and on until 10.  She admitted she likes the "Power" that causing strife brings her.   I jerked that rug out from under her.  She has lost the privilege of arguing, raising her voice or other wise talking ugly to her siblings.  Today should prove interesting.   She did get up at her "normal" time to do school.  She isn't her usual chatter box self with me this morning.  I guess she is still processing.   When she gets ready to talk I will be waiting.

I don't have a lot of plans today.  Finish laundry that I didn't do yesterday because it was raining off and on.  School for the kids.  I need to make bread.   We are almost out again.   I guess I need to come up with something for supper too.   We did chicken spaghetti last night.  It was a big hit.  I have enough chicken for one more meal out of a 10 lb sack of breast I cooked on Sat.  We had chicken soup for Church on Sunday.  The leftovers for lunch yesterday and the spaghetti last night.   I am sure it will all be gone after lunch.  Maybe we will do cream of chicken soup.  I like that better than chicken noodle anyway. 

Time to start my day!  All be blessed!
