Wreckage Cleaning ~ More than just a windshield
5/16/13
Three years into My Recovery & the cleaning of my wreckage is well under way.
I can write a thousand blogs of how God has transformed my life & the lives of my precious children.
I chose to write this one because it's not too personal & it's significant to me.
When I was carrying Saedee an "friend" & I use that term in the very loosely. Called & asked for a ride & punched my visor, inside the car., needless to say it shattered my windshield.
The embarrassment of driving this car has progressed, let's face it though it's not necessarily a priority when finances are tight.
Today I came outside & it had progressed to the driver side., obviously leaving the car not safe & ticket friendly.
Today my windshield is being replaced., & though that may seem insignificant to you, it's HUGE to me., its one less reminder of error of my past.
The error's remain as scars on my life & heart for as long as I live. Thankfully One Day At A Time, I get to learn to live & accept things just as they were & just as they are.
It's more than just a windshield
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On a very funny side note. Well I think I guarantee it's not funny to those around me.
When we called to get windshield replaced., I thought my Ford Explorer was a 2002. The guy comes & goes to replace it., pushes & pulls to get windshield off, only to go to put the other one on to realize it won't fit., he looks inside the driver door., Uhm my truck is a 2008. My in laws both shook there head., My Mother in law tells the man in Spanish., she is a real blond. It's not really funny but it's kind of hilarious to me.....

A Week in Our Life of Homeschool
There are Sooo many choices in homeschool world., its hard to distinguish what's best for your child.
The more people you ask the more opinions you get.
The joy in that is each child IS different and that's one of the reasons why we homeschool! A blessing & a burden some days making sure you're doing it right.
One day at a time and allot of prayer we choose what's best for our children., I wouldn't have it any other way.
I decided this week to go back to "Rowing" Before five in a Row.
I chose a simple plan to get our hearts centered where they need to be., with God.
Excitedly to see Saedee cutting on her own & tracing & sounding words.
My child learns despite my continued concerns of "doing it perfect"
I believe if I teach her good Character and the love of learning we are already far better off then most.
I also love & believe in our daily living of gardening and cooking and playing it turns into math, science. The days of learning are endless.
I am so grateful for the journey.

Mother's Day~Fb Status
I see the beautiful pictures of Mothers being shared., so many of loss. Not everyone celebrates this day with Joy. Many Mom's have gone onto heaven & with you my heart aches. Some have difficult & struggled relationships, with you my heart identifies., Some struggle to have children & aren't celebrating but in sadness., my heart hugs. Some get to enjoy this day with a little or all of the above because you are a Mommy yourself, my heart is grateful. Whatever your situation or story. I pray you reflect on good & happy memories & enjoy this day just as freely as it is given. Happy Mother's Day. Thank You God for allowing me such an Amazing Gift of Motherhood.
Mother's Day 2013
Mothers Day, has always been a day I struggled with, until I became a Mother.
Maybe that's why I was in such a hurry to become a mommy. Starting so young I definately did not make all the best decisions & I don't claim to make them all perfect since I have aged., through the grace of God., I have learned & I have always been proud to me a Mother.
I have the most amazing giving children., I am so incredibly blessed.
Now I have an Amazing Man that I share these beautiful people with.
What a gift., one that can't be purchased., or sought just so freely given.
We have had abundance & we have had nothing & no matter the situation, we have one another. I am so grateful... So Blessed.
Thank You God for Blessing Me far more than I could ever deserve~

Train Up Your Child.
Hearing my children speak today of there Faith or lack their of makes me realize how much my walk has failed them.
Speaking with my older daughter her reasoning is because of how "the Church" treated us when everything happened with my Son's Dad & I understand because it's how I have felt & struggled for so long & just now being able to put that behind me. To the best of my ability anyway., she mentioned my Son is probably that way because he lives with his Dad., again my fault.
I accept that I am a recovering alcoholic ., I accept my path., I just wish I haven't caused my children so much heartache.
I know & believe the final chapter isn't written., Thank You God for that.
On this Mother's Day eve I feel a heavy heart. Sadness in a way I cannot describe.
Train up your child in the way he/she should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.
