Congratulations! I've dealt with second shift for a while now. Has its blessings, to be sure--daily homeschooling help is one. I will pray for you especially in the evenings. Getting five little ones fed the evening meal and ready for bed takes much grace, night after night. -We did baths in the mornings for a time. -Family prayer can occur during the day, so Daddy can help hold or distract squirrelly little ones. That leaves you with just some quick prayers before bed, perhaps. -You can also do the bulk of your reading aloud during the day, and leave just one quick story before bed, when you have squirrelly little ones all on your own. -Saturday school can make up for an errand day during the week (stores are less crowded on weekdays). -We school year-round, save for a three week break between school years. Make is easier to take needed breaks during the school year. Just some thoughts. Again, I'm so happy for you! Praise God! Congratulations!

I’ve dealt with second shift for a while now. Has its blessings, to be sure–daily homeschooling help is one. I will pray for you especially in the evenings. Getting five little ones fed the evening meal and ready for bed takes much grace, night after night.

-You can also do the bulk of your reading aloud during the day, and leave just one quick story before bed, when you have squirrelly little ones all on your own.

-Saturday school can make up for an errand day during the week (stores are less crowded on weekdays).

-We school year-round, save for a three week break between school years. Make is easier to take needed breaks during the school year.

Just some thoughts. Again, I’m so happy for you!

Just one example, of many, in how things can get miscommunicated online, huh? LOL! Ooops, that was supposed to be an exclamation point, instead of a question mark up there!

Someone shared with me yesterday about never having enough to be full - "If we felt full when we were empty, we would starve." Practicing the absence of God indeed... A wonderful quote.
