You still have lots to say! :)<br /><br />I heard you speak at a CC Practicum a couple of years ago, and your realness is so appreciated. I saw you at a swim meet in Albany last fall but didn't approach you to say "hi" because I didn't want to seem like a creepy fan girl. LOL!<br /><br />Keep doing what you do. Remember, the mess means you're building something, and I promise you will make it to the finish line with the teen boys. :)<br /><br />Many blessings!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12277818525123645172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-84530506157042004242017-03-13T20:43:47.889-07:002017-03-13T20:43:47.889-07:00A thousand times yes!!

I quit blogging many years ago but can still relate to all that you have written. My oldest is now 22 and my youngest is 7 and these years of parenting teens into young adulthood are the most wearisome I've ever known. Couple that with still having fairly young children and here we are ... exhausted and clueless ;) I just wanted to say, yes. <br /><br />Yes, to all you have said in these few but true sentences.

I thought reading all those parenting and homeschooling books in the early years would mean that we would do it all "right", but instead I just feel guilty about all the things that didn't turn out like I thought it would. Prayer, prayer and more prayer! Thank you for your honesty and I don't mind if you repeat yourself! ;)One Acre Follieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07762964600916732096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-17432239417973921372017-03-09T15:31:57.848-08:002017-03-09T15:31:57.848-08:00Yes.
