We had a very good weekend with some old friends and some new ones at one of our church conventions in Shelby, NC this weekend. We left right after work on Friday, then got back late in the afternoon on Sunday. Lorena has her work cut out for her getting reorganized after the weekend and I will have a very busy week at work. While we were there we found that there will be a big get-together in the Charlotte area early in October for Kelly and Christian. With Christian’s (late) birthday party at the end of the month, Kelly’s PSAT, and our trip to Mexico coming fast, we STILL have a very busy calendar right when we thought we might be slowing down a little.
Rarely, if ever, does it slow down. I have a friend who just had her 12th, yes 12th baby AND they homeschool 8 at this time….I just don’t know how they manage it all. 🙂 Whether you have 2,4,6 8….or the occasional 12 kids, there are still only 24 hours in a day! May God help us all with our management of the time he has given us and may we use it to His Glory and to bless others!
Man, 12 is a LOT! Wow. It reminds me of my friend Joe S. in Oregon who had, drum roll….
13!!!
…and homeschooled them all!
AMEN! My friend is only 43, and will undoubtedly have more should the Lord decide to bless them with more 🙂 She has 3 graduated and 3 under Kinder age, so I guess she is only schooling 7 at this time! Whew! Just makes me tired thinking about it.
Exactly my though, Ruthie. I am amazed and appreciative of those who live their lives that way.
