The original reason I started the other post was to include this quote I found on a website while looking up chart ideas (for when we do get a printer). It's from Preschoolers and Peace on the (preschoolersandpeace.com). I don't know how to create a link yet. Sorry.
Can We Really Discover Joy in the Journey?
By Kendra January 12, 2009
"We homeschooling moms are the “have to” parent. We “have to” clean up the breakfast mess, we “have to” start school, we “have to” correct math problems, we “have to” potty train, we “have to” make sure a high schooler’s transcript is filled out correctly… get my drift?
I just want to be the “get to” parent more often. “Hey guys! We ‘get to’ go get Slurpees! We ‘get to’ play Wii bowling after lunch! We ‘get to’ swing on the hammock and read Calvin and Hobbes!” A little more “get to” in my day makes me happier."
Well said, I thought. I felt more like a "get to" mom today. We even found a toad and they all took turns holding it. If only I could keep this frame of mind all the time. . . or even tomorrow. :)

About Me
- Mississippi Rose
- I'm a Southern gal raised in MS, married to my sweet Matt from MO, the busy mamma to 4 (soon to be 5)young children. I'm realizing more all the time how I am helpless to do anything for Christ on my own. Yet when I yield myself to Him and ask for His wisdom and His power to be the wife, mom, and woman of God He wants me to be I am amazed at how He gives it. And I'm finally beginning to really understand worship as more than a church service.
