~nothing important~

I dont really have alot to say, its late, i have to work tommorow and I have more things to do. So Just to start my page, right now I am preparing school lessons for my older two of our three boys. I am reading and contemplating the poem"TIDES" by Helen Hunt Jackson. Here it is if you are curious.
Tides

O patient shore, thou canst not go to meet~Thy love, the restless sea, how comfortest~Thou all thy loneliness? Art thou at rest,When, loosing his strong arms from round thy feet, He turns away? Know'st thou, however sweet~That other shore may be, that to thy breast He must return? And when in sterner testHe folds thee to a heart which does not beat,Wraps thee in ice, and gives no smile, no kiss,To break long wintry days, still dost thou miss~Naught from thy trust? Still wait, unfaltering,The higher, warmer waves which leap in spring?O sweet, wise shore, to be so satisfied!O heart, learn from the shore! Love has a tide!

I am enjoying these days off with my family here at home. I am looking for more work as my job is in the slow season, but we all are going down that road in one area or another. I enjoy living in the forest here. I feel like i am truley in my element. I see lots of animals that frequent our home on the paths they take to do what animals do. Its quiet for the most part, beautiful, and full of life. The rain sounds endless through the forest, as does the wind. I love thunderstorms anyway, so when it rains or I just hear thunder I am at peace. Day or night the songbirds, owls, whip poor wills, and toads/frogs are always there, singing, comforting. Its so different from hearing ambulences, police, traffic in general, helicopters, loud neighbors, ext. We can have fires without trouble from other people and we cook our food alot from the fallen wood around the house, and it tastes awesome! We continue our study of mycology and identifying mushrooms which are everywhere. We have swim places up here that are close, free, and beautiful, so we take the kids alot. And the homeschooling we just started is even better, definatly more freedom. We are closer as a family, and my kids feel more free to be themselves. It ends the problems with my kids having to be on drugs, they learn better without having to examine themselves constantly to make sure they are conforming. I watch my 6 yr old work on a math paper by himself and he is up and down from the couch, moving here and there all while looking at his paper so he is doing his problems and accuratly at that. HE will grow out of that eventually, but he dosent need to be on drugs. Same thing with my 9 yr old, but he just has issues focusing. When they were in public school they both were on Honor roll, and My oldest scored on the 80+ percentile in the nation on Fcat, and was reading at a 5th grade level. So I dont think they need drugs to learn. I love teaching them too. My husband just came alive with ideas and has jumped on board fully with me in this so it such a blessing. I am enjoying my life that God has made for me with an awesome husband God has created me to be with, and our children are the blessings, the fuel, and the whole reason for us to be better people, and i have Jesus to thank for it all. As a testimony forever, If God were not for us, we would have a crippled son, a marriage ended, and probably alot of things I cannot know because He has protected us from them., and I have Jesus to thank for IT ALL.
