Homeschool Mother's Journal ~ November 4, 2011

In my life this week…it has been one CRAZY BUSY week! In fact, it has been so crazy busy that I totally forgot to write my Homeschool Mother's Journal post last week. Last Thursday night my phone rang at 9:45 PM. Now, I don't know about you but, normally phone calls at that hour are NOT GOOD! Imagine my surprise when it was hubby's former principal (the one who hired him where he is "currently" working) calling to offer him a job and only giving us 3 days to think/pray about it! Hubby went in on Monday to accept the position. That night (fairly late as it was also Halloween) we filled out the application for the position (schools are required to have applications on file) and submit other necessary information. Tuesday, hubby turned in his resignation letter at his current district. Wednesday, he drove to the new school to submit his official transcripts and got a phone call and email formally offering him the job. Thursday he drove to the new district to sign a new contract and fill out other paperwork. Hubby's last day at his current school is Nov. 10...his first day at his new school is Nov. 14!

In our homeschool these past 2 weeks…has also been busy!
     ~Unicorn started a new math program and is participating in NaNoWriMo.
     ~Ladybug is really starting to get this reading thing and is also participating in NaNoWriMo.
     ~Monkey is watching lots of educational videos and having lots of books read to him!

I am inspired by…how the Lord blesses us! We were expecting hubby would get a job offer to work with his former principal for the 2012-2013 school year...boy were we surprised when an offer came for this year!

Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…last week we had dinner with some friends, helped some other friends move some of their stuff and attended our local Chick-fil-A's 1 year Anniversary and their annual Fall Festival.

My favorite thing this week was…the job offer.

Things I’m working on…lots of blog posts and my NaNoWriMo novel!

I’m grateful for…the Gratitude Challenge being held at Garden of Learning!

I’m praying for…my sister's house to sell and for the offer we have in on a house (the house is less than a mile from hubby's NEW job) to be accepted!
