Wow, it's been OVER a year since I posted anything here. I am alive and well, and, BUSY. It's all good though, as I feel like I am doing the things the Lord has called me to do at this point and stage in my life.
The thing that is currently keeping me the busiest is Robert-Michael. His care and needs are requiring more and more of me, it seems. That includes homeschooling him this year. The school scenarios were getting more difficult for him, as he has a very hard time focusing on any task, and the social scene was also constant pressure on him. I cannot recall if I have written about this on here, so I will say now that he has severe ADD, and Asperger's Syndrome. That is a difficult combination to figure out, but that is what we are in the midst of trying to do. He is super bright and intelligient, but the other issues get in the way, and make things difficult at times. He has so many assets, like his ability to RUN, and his LOVE of learning and sky-high sense on wonder (to use Trinity's terms). But he doesn't grasp any non-verbal language which they say makes up 2/3 of our communications, such as context, body language, facial expressions...those are the things we are working on all the time. Praying for wisdom in this area, and for strength and fortitude.
Well, on with school for the day! We try to start every morning by 8:30 or 9. Dishes done (but not always).
