Slacking

I really have been slacking on being consistent with blogging. You know, I really only blog as a creative outlet because I do enjoy writing and it is fun to look back and see the happenings in the past that are so easily forgotten in the midst of a busy life. This is the same pleasure I find in journaling. The written word is really a treasure. I hope that future generations in my family line can one day read my words and get a glimpse of a life gone before them. They will see that culture, style, technology, music and industry change, but the human struggle, triumph, joy, sorrow and longing remain the same. I am getting ready to embark on a new journey that will leave even less time for blogging; home schooling! My 5 year old will start kindergarten this year. After much prayer and discussion, we have decided to home school her for her kindergarten year. This will no doubt be a challenge, but a fun one! I know my many years of forcing my 3 younger siblings to “play” school with me will come in handy. I italicize the word play because I do not think this is the same verb that they would use. It’s not really play when you are forced to do something against your will. I know deep down they thank me for the wonderful start I gave them to their formalized education. Sienna might need to call them for counsel in the coming months!
