Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be......

.....chauvinists......

Much to my chagrin, I have recently been enduring a barrage of chauvinism. I am saddened that in my lifetime, in 2010 for pete's sake! there are still males who believe that a woman is not valued if she doesn't bring home a paycheck! Do I want a paying job? Not necessarily. Would I take a paying job? Depends...... Do I think working moms are wrong? No!

I believe that God put my children--these specific 5 children--in my care for a reason. It is my JOB, for this season, to raise these children to be productive, loving, God-fearing adults. That is a HUGE undertaking! So why is it that just because this particular job, the job that I chose and prayed to have, just because it doesn't come with a salary -- it is not a "real" job in some people's opinions?

Summer is Here!

My goodness, it has been a month since my last post!  I suppose it makes sense since my last post was during the last week of school.  So many things were going on I just didn't take the time to write anything.  Then I'm trying to get back into the swing of working in the office with 5 littles here to distract me.  Things have been interesting so far......I thought I was going to work out some schedule and not be in the office some mornings, but that just hasn't actually happened.  The children must be getting smarter or the newest edition of the same books I've used for a couple of years have become watered down or something, because the kids are going through their assignments so much faster than they did last summer.  Maybe that's a good thing....I don't know.
