I've decided to not use my Xanga blog anymore. I had this one as an "unofficial" blog. Just thoughts and tidbits that had nothing to do with anything. But I also have my homeschoolblogger account which I was using for tips, ideas, inspiriation, etc...  I'm just going to switch to using the other one for both.

Here's the link if you want to save it in your RSS Reader: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/tchnweaver/

If you don't know how to read blogs through an RSS reader and you get tired of clicking on the webpage just to find out that there's nothing new posted, then I recommend using a blog reader. Here's a link about how to use it:

There are a lot of things I like about Xanga. The limitless organization of webpage layout, the fact that Xanga will email you the new posts, adding pictures and such. But I need to delete a few things from my life. I realized the other day that I have 23 webpages that I need to keep updated. Most of those are on a monthly basis for business, but it's still upkeep.

So hopefully I'll see you at http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/tchnweaver/ 

We had a visiting family come and lead worship. They were all dressed nicely and sang beautifully. They played musical instruments.

I leaned over to Hubby and said, that's what you want me to do - dress like that and sing like that (we had had a disagreement about my outfit that morning). And they were great!

How does this happen? Some families are blessed with musical tallent and I'm sitting here thinking they have all that tallent! I would love for us all to learn how to sing and/or play an instrument. But because my family cannot play and Matthew's family cannot play, we have no one to teach us to play.

Angela was wonderful to bless us with lessons for a while, but being pregnant with #5 in 6 years takes it's toll.

How much are lessons a month? $20 per week. Which is $80 per month. And I have 2 kids that are old enough for lessons. That's $160 a month for music lessons. Yeah, that's not going to happen. I was just on my "official" blog looking at my blessings.

So here's where I am. The Lord did not give us a family with musical tallent. And He did not give me money for lessons. So why am I upset that they can not learn? I'm not. Yes, I am telling myself that it's not up to me. And there's not anything I can do about that.

I am still planning on ordering a few CD's for the kids. I don't know when I'll be able to get them or if they will work without accountability. But I'm going to try. They are called: Quick Piano from Homeschool How-to and Guitar Made Easy by AOP. Maybe if I can see it on the computer with lessons, then maybe it will work until the Lord provides something else.

As for the clothes, jewerly, makeup, etc... well, I go through phases where I like to do that too. I may not have the dress suit, but I have been blessed with clothes and makeup and a wonderful curling iron! I just need to learn to use it before noon! LOL!

Stoping in to say hi! (Gosh! I sound like MacKenzie!)

Working on High School reunion right now. Today was Kings Dominion Day and cooking. Tomorrow is Setting up and Evening Party. Saturday is more party.

I have learned that some people should not volunteer to make Devilled Eggs - ME!!! I will promise right now that if I ever have to provide this side dish, I will pay the extra money and order them from Ukrops.

It actually looks like my home is going to sell tomorrow. Faith - Confidently Expecting something to happen you cannot see. I can't say that I'm that sure, but I'm not doubtful either. I guess I'm hopeful.

Everyone have a safe and healthy weekend!
