I just got tired of writing...probably because I was writing uncontrollably during the week of my grandfather's passing.
Also, I needed a break because I needed to do some serious weeding...in my back yard and with my children. My energies were all spent at the end of the day.
I've got a host of things to talk about. Plus I know that I need to finish that Story I started. I will...I want to see how it ends just as bad as you guys do :)

I am glad to have you back... and glad you plan on finishing your story! I didn't want to bug you about it, but I had checked back frequently and was beginning to believe you were going to leave us hanging! :o)
look forward to reading your story and well done for weeding
Hi Chrystal,
You don't know me, but your page has been such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing so much - even the news about your grandfather.
I'm a 38 year old SAHM of three boys (Calvin II - 6 yrs, Christian Michael - 4 yrs, Caden Josiah - 1 week old). I'm married to a wonderful man named Calvin. We've been married for almost 15 years.
When we got married, I was totally career-minded and waited to have children. Actually, I didn't want any children at first - I just wanted a career - boy, it's amazing how God can change you. BTW, I read your blog about "The Importance of Having and Raising Children"-years ago, I would have disagreed with you, but God has changed my heart and I totally agree with you. Many people think I was crazy to be pregnant again at 38 years old - some have even suggested that this needs to be my last child - Christians have just totally left God out of our decision making when it comes to having children.
I'm also a struggling homeschooling mom.I have no idea what I'm doing and on many days I feel guilty that I haven't done enough. I'm just unorganized and inconsistent - children have totally changed my life but, I'm grateful for this journey - I know that God is going to do some amazing things. I struggle daily with knowing what to teach, what to cook and trying to keep the home tidy enough so my husband can find his way in the door each afternoon. Do you plan your menus weekly? Having children has forced me to run into God's arms crying and screaming for help cause I don't know what I'm doing. Do you use a particular curriculum for each child?
One other thing I forgot to mention is that I too was trying to lose weight before I got pregnant - I had lost forty pounds. I'm starting all over now that Caden has arrived.
I don't have a blog site yet, but I think it would be great for me. I like to journal, but rarely get around to it and blogging would be a great substitute.
Thanks for all the great resources on your site and I look forward to reading more of your posts. BTW, sorry for such a long post - I tried to email my comment, but it didn't work.
Be Blessed
