Seeing as I am not a morning person, this is a first for me! (Although, it is late…10:30am) I sit here in disbelief. Disbelief that it is truly the middle of August, disbelief that I truly do not have a game plan for my homeschool as of yet (Dont worry ! That will be completed by the end of the week), disbelief that my son heads back for his SECOND year of college on the 29th, and just plain disbelief that the entire summer has passed me by in the blink of an eye! So, as I struggle to get up out of my slump and gaze bleary-eyed at my LONG list of things to do, I wanted to start the week off right with counting my MANY blessings!
