Warning: Moving While Homeschooling Isn't Fun!

When we first decided to move, I completely forgot that we were continuing to

homeschool until August and I would have to try to find a way to figure it all out.

Silly me, right?

 

Homeschooling is not the easiest thing in the world but if you add moving into the mix

you might as well shoot off your big toe! It would be a lot less painful, trust me.  However,

I am learning to find the positive in things so look at the picture below and you will

see my beautiful fixer upper I have purchased and plan to gut and remodel inside

and out - and yes, all while I continue to homeschool.  In the summer.  With two wild boys.

And no mommy friends, And still no church family.  Again, let's shoot off our big toe...

 

 

To be honest, we made a bold move of moving before DJ found a new job..although

he had a few offers before getting here, we still weren't sure what we would do for money,

But, as always, God provides much more than we could ever imagine,,

and my husband just happened to have a friend that had purchased a home after being hurt

while in the military, but due to unemployment still did not have the funds to live there.

He wanted someone to come in and rent, fix the place up, and then possibly either sale it to that person or move back in it and credit them 75% funds of what they had spent on the remodel.

Either way, it will be a very good deal - but of course we hope that the Lord puts it in our landlord's heart to allow us to purchase the home after we put in all the effort to make it "ours". 

 

We would love to have prayers on that from our wonderful blogger friends.  :)

 

So now you get to see the bright orange room that I will attempt to turn into a homeschool room.

And I get to tell you the story about how a mom couldn't wait to get a 3 bedroom finally

so she could have her own office.. and somehow, still did not get an office.

They convinced me to allow Ace to have one room (post on his room to follow along with the before pictures of the rest of the home) and then Blaze to get this bright room.  In return, I could use 25% of Ace's room for my babysitting needs (playpen or baby stuff) and 25% of Blaze's room will

be for homeschooling (mainly just one wall to hang stuff up plus room for two desks".

 

I will also have my own space in the living room, in a small corner, to fit a corner desk

and hopefully some bookshelves and plenty of extra space for those crazy homeschool days you all non-homeschooling moms love to hear about.  It is going to be a long, stressful summer but

it will also be full of blessings and joy .. and I simply intend on focusing on the good. 

 

I will leave you all with a photo of my life, my world, my three boys.  They are why all of this work seems like just another day in paradise :)
