Can you can-can?

This is year 3 for me... how about you?

Just a link

Once upon a time, I wrote about how I am re-evaluating a lot of things in our home.

Now my lovely (in real life) friend Amy over at Grace Unceasing is writing a series on Homeschooling at the Speed of Life and I really like what she has to say. It pretty much sums up what I am trying to accomplish these days.

Re-evaluating

A lot of things are happening inside my head and heart right now. 

And I am taking inventory of our lives.

Thusfar, I have been a fly by the seat of your pants kind of Mama.  I don't think this is going to continue working for us.  For one thing we will be homeschooling next year...

And my husband will be gone to training for 3 months.

And I REALLY don't want to be crazy while he's gone.  I am pretty sure a routine would help me keep my sanity.  A flow.  A rhythm, so to speak.  So if I you don't see me so much out in public, please don't take it personally.  I am not being anti-social.

I am being a homemaker. 

Because this is my profession.

No apologies

I just read a great quote in my new favorite Magazine called Mary Jane's Farm and I just had to share it...

Whenever I get one of those questionaires and they ask what is your profession, I always put down 'housewife'.  It's an admirable profession; why apologize for it?  You aren't stupid because you're a housewife.  When you're stirring the jam, you can read Shakespeare.
~Tasha Tudor

I am proud to be a housewife.  And prouder still that I have a husband willing to support my profession.
