Ah, the end of the school year is always so exciting. It’s certainly a weight lifted off every parent’s shoulders, especially if they are homeschooling their children. It sounds like you have had a hectic year, but you finally made it through! There is no shame in hiring on extra help when you need it; everyone needs an extra hand every now and then! Congrats on making it through the school year! Thanks for sharing!

In reply to KT. Some people do. My husband thinks that I do, but I only thrive if the busyness is in doing the right things. My particular set up here just didn't quite fit. Busyness is good. Not enjoying your job is bad. Teaching is not my calling. Way not! You do much better with it. It is a gigantic blessing to be rocking what you do. Your work does inspire me and calm me down.

We’re so different in this respect–I thrive on the busy-ness. If I don’ t stay busy I tend to get bored, then depressed. I wish we lived closer so I could have taken some of the weight for you this year. (But I ain’t gonna lie–I’m glad it’s over, too. lol)

You have a beautiful family :). Those busy seasons can be so difficult and trying. I’m not made for those times either. I love the slower pace of summer as well. I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing summer with your precious people. Blessings to you all!

LOVE this post! Awesome pictures of all of the boys. Josh looks so grown up. Makes me tear up. Caleb’s water painting – wow! Very impressive. I’ve never been able to paint squat with water colors. Sweetness with Daniel and JD, who “is ready to get his personal servant again” – ha! I had forgotten all about “don’t like it, don’t like it, don’t like it.” Too funny. I’m so jealous of Nonna getting see all of that – but happy for her, of course. I wish I could’ve been there, too! I am glad this year is coming to an end for you – you have persevered and will be all the stronger for it. This year has been a challenging year for you in so many ways. Thank you for inspiring me to press on when times are trying!

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Wow, you amaze me homeschooling with a chronic illness. I am so ready to have the school year over and I don’t homeschool! I have been having trouble balancing home, famity and blog too.
