Just stuff going on...

First I should say we are not the "typical" homeschooling family. We seem to think differently than all our friends..which is ok..I mean if we were all the same then life would be boring :D

So...
On June 4th - 9th, I am taking my oldest (Mallory 16) to TX to see her boyfriend graduate from Air Force Basic. I am looking forward to this. I think it will be an awesome trip. We are taking her best friend and 2 of our youth sponsors too. I can't believe I am so excited. I mean I really, really like John..I never thought I feel this way when my dd is only 16. I thought I would be chasing all boys away!
I am hoping that this trip will be 2-fold...
One...if Mallory and John work out then she will be there for him from the "beginning"
Two...Mallory will develop some sort of Military/USA pride. Right now she is only thinking about how the uniforms look. It's really shallow on her part. Her family military history is so rich I want to show her the pride of it all. I think that by going she will get a first hand experience on how things work and hopefully from that she will develop some sort of pride.

We have been taking Joshua to the therapist to be evaluated for adhd. He has now been diagnosed with adhd...she specified "hyper". Now we will be going back to the doctor for medicine. For ever I have been against medication...behavior modification is how I have delt with it...until recently it has worked okay for us. Now we are at a point that he can't control it. I don't really want medication, BUT I want my son to be able to succeed in life...at this time that means medication.

My younger children seem to be out of control too. I am having to spend the summer focusing on specific things...discipline and respect a MUST. Also, reading for some and math facts for all. I pray that God honors our efforts cause it will definitely be a struggle for me :D

One more thing...I REALLY need to get my weight under control. I am around 150 lbs overweight. I hate it. I hate the way I look. I hate the way I feel. I hate the aches and pains that I am now having. So please pray with me that I have strength to loose the weight and become healthy for my family :D

Guess that's it for now. I am sorta sleepy lol and typing is making it worse. I have to make it until Mallory and her best friend come home from the movies with a bunch of other friends :D
