cutting back

So, cutting back...seems I give into temptation on weekends at work and watch a bunch of shows online.

I had a GREAT weekend last weekend. I didn't work. My inlaws were up. My mom had 'thanksgiving' with her side fo the family. It was my birthday.
I got to spend my birthday with people I love and who love me. It was great. I got to have a morning shower in complete peace (a rare event being a single mom) and I got to check out the antique market in Water*ford with my mil, aunt and uncle. I bought a few thing (spent hardly anything) but was able to just browse and look around without children (another rare event being a single mom).

Homeschooling is going GREAT! I love being able to be a part of this in my son's life. Most of his learning is taking place through books and games. Such fun! It was so awesome to watch him 'get' the fact the numbers this past week. To understand and be able to identify them. We had such fun one evening playing lots of games around math. I want my son to grow up to LOVE to learn and so far...he does!.

J also has blossomed this past couple of months. I was keeping track of J's words in the last couple of weeks. He has over a 70 word vocabulary. Which is great as in the summer he probably only had a 10+ word vocabulary. He is 'getting' that animals are not all called puppy. Which is great as I was getting tired of everything being declared a 'puppy' very enthusiastically while we were driving past farms.

This past week was court for J. Seems the judge wants more papers and he adjourned things until March. So I will have J atleast until then. Probably a lot longer as his case will probably go to trial and that will drag on.
Please continue to pray for childcare for me. It is something that still hasn't been 100% figured out and it really needs to soon! like months ago.
