Hi there. I'm Amy. I write here about my life and my issues. I also design blogs and websites at 
I am sad! I have home schooled my boys for the last two years. They are starting back to school tomorrow (8/5), granted it is a Christian school with very small classes. I know it is time and the best thing for all of us for a number of reasons, but it is SO bittersweet! I will miss them; while I will also enjoy my kid free days. One bright spot is that my husband is a Singles Minister, so since he works on Sundays he has a weekday off (so to speak). That means that once a week we have a six hours for just us if we want. Considering how demanding his job can be randomly, this would take some effort. But he’s the one who insists on it, so who am I to argue
. Anyway, I do think I’ll cry, which I hate doing. I know God is taking care of them and He has directed this whole thing, so I guess I’ll trust Him. I do wish I had known all this stuff two years ago, though. This is wonderful! Thank you for taking the time and focused effort to put it together. I’ll archive it in my computer just in case I need it in the future or know someone who does.
Have a blessed day, Amy! I am still praying for you! (I emailed you, but it bounced back saying undeliverable. I’ll keep trying.)
