A couple of weeks ago I'd had a TOUGH day and by early evening I'd had enough and took the babies out for a "breather" trip to the grocery store (I know, some breather, right?!). Anyhow, a fellow shopper admired the babies and then said, "but where is Daddy? Why do you have both of the babies by yourself?" I explained that there were three other children at home with Daddy. "5 children! You are so blessed!" She actually got a bit misty as she was saying it, and that helped me to really stop and feel the weight of her comment. I smiled and agreed, and my day became much less burdensome. It took a random stranger in the grocery store to remind me of the perspective that this is exactly what I want, and that even the frustrations of that hard day were blessings because they were part of the package of caring for my children who I love so dearly.Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14905198328657702443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22579918.post-15522211301863477602013-02-05T08:43:55.333-08:002013-02-05T08:43:55.333-08:00You are too kind Jenessa. :)You are too kind Jenessa. :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271113049294643932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22579918.post-49845678599324790082013-02-04T16:53:37.479-08:002013-02-04T16:53:37.479-08:00You're so amazing!

I think the kids "got" it. This week is the last class and we'll have a Hogwarts feast, trivia contest and hopefully some of the kids will share some of the fan fiction they've been writing. Can't wait! I'll work on post summing up everything we did for the class. It was so much fun.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271113049294643932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22579918.post-76824470974875518562013-02-04T13:59:49.619-08:002013-02-04T13:59:49.619-08:00Agreed, why I am not in your class?Agreed, why I am not in your class?Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01434969386724574868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22579918.post-63177685862704605092013-02-04T11:26:11.484-08:002013-02-04T11:26:11.484-08:00Great!

I've always believed and said that you don't have to homeschool to "do" TJED. One of my sisters is in this category. She and her family absolutely have a TJED lifestyle and her girls go to a charter school. Now I really get it. TJEDers who use schools are using them as a resource to help with academics and maybe a few other areas of their children's development. But they remain the mentors of their children, coordinating the outside help with their larger effort of growing a person. Homeschoolers use a lot of outside help too. It is almost impossible to do it all on your own. I certainly don't plan to. For TJEDers that send their kids to school, the challenge is they have a lot less time with their kids to work on all areas of development. They have to be more choosy with their family time. But again, they know what their kids need most and they can ensure that their kids get what they really need.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271113049294643932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22579918.post-14530107263129666842012-06-04T09:49:59.054-07:002012-06-04T09:49:59.054-07:00Thanks Andrea!

You will be missed at school, but I think you're on the right track.<br /><br />I also think that you might be like me in that I am my own worst critic. I get too hard on myself, and focusing on one small thing to work on is a great way to work through that.

This was a good reminder to me of all the resources available, and of how influential TJed has been in my family's life, as we have found things that have resonated with us then tried them out in our home.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783802768481125903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22579918.post-25067647787923299252011-01-31T11:27:30.724-08:002011-01-31T11:27:30.724-08:00Thanks Tracy!
