Today my husband turned 40. He is handling it a lot better than I expect to in a few years. :) I have spent over a week planning a surprise party for him. Why does party planning wear a person out so badly?! Anyway, the party went well. He wasn't completely taken back I don't think but he was surprised by who did come...as some had completely thrown him for a loop over the last week. That is what he gets for trying to pry!!
I also had a nice surprise tonight. One of our friends asked me a lot about homeschooling. She has asked before but has never taken the plunge. I have always wondered if I let my excitement over the whole homeschooling idea scare her away. I tend to talk too much about subjects that excite me. And homeschooling excites me...some times more than others! :) Tonight was different. She sounds more sure this time around. I am excited to be able to help someone get started, to answer the millions of questions that flood any person about to dive into this world of home education and to just be a friend. I have tried to think who helped me along the way and no one comes to mind. I have been sinking or swimming from the get go with my only lifeline being God--not a bad lifeline but no where in the Bible does it tell me which curriculum is best or the best place for discounted books or the laws within my state. A trusted friend to laugh with, cry with, pose questions and on occasion answer questions would be nice.
