Day 5

Sorry that I didn't post yesterday. I was exhausted by the end of the day and checked out early. It was a slow day for the most part. We only had L.A. to do for the day but was also trying to catch up on our history from Thursday. It was not really because they didn't do the work, it was mostly my fault for not being prepared enough. So I bought a laminating machine last night at walmart and laminated the little people for our timeline. I was just so tired yesterday from all week of taking my husband to work at 4am that I am glad it was a slow day.

 

Today I woke up at almost 6am and as I lay there I decided to get up and take a shower and then spend some time alone with God. I actually had a great little study to myself with Him. However I will not post my journal on here because this is about home school so I will be adding a new blog titled, "Little Moments with my God."

 

This is what I will leave you with about yesterday because this is what our life has been about since November 2nd, 2011. You see my kids Nana, my Mother passed away from a horrible form of brain cancer that took her life in 5 months from onset of symptoms. Its called Glioblastoma Multiform. There is NO cure for this. Even though she never had a chance to get chemotherapy for it she did loose a good portion of her hair from the surgery to remove the bulk of the tumor. She decided it looked so bad that she had them shave the rest of her hair off. With all this said I decided after he passing that I would be growing my hair out to donate to the organization, "Locks of Love." So yesterday was the big day. I got my hair cut and I have pictures of the process. Enjoy. I dedicate this post to my dear mother

 

May you Rest in Peace Mother, Nana, Sister, Wife, Aunt, Cousin, and most of all our best friend.
