But if you miss this, you'll never get it again". No truer words could you have said! I, also, am a writer, and I, also, homeschool (29 years with 5 more to go). Having two children now married and four grandchildren, I can now conclude that homeschooling is the wiser choice. Those you write for will eventually forget you, but your children never will. Write for THEM, and as a legacy for future generations.momspanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02550566563803020155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-7221701245885416082009-03-02T06:56:00.000-05:002009-03-02T06:56:00.000-05:00Thanks for the reminder.

Doing what He has created us to do (writing) often conflicts with one of our most important roles: mother. i struggle with wanting to do my own thing alot.

I often wonder if it would be easier to have the kids in school~then I could keep a sparkly house, get meals together without craziness, etc. But that isn't what the Lord has for me right now. Right now, I am a stay at home mom, who homeschools her five children.Sandra in Phxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11140211614382984035noreply@blogger.com
