How are you doing JF? I've been missing your posts. Hope everything is good with you and your family and you're just too busy to post here.

hey thistlebloom, yes everythings fine been working on the garden and working on fencing. I am also catching the birds that i be processing in the up coming week or so hopefully. Dh and i got a lot of mixed sized boards ranging from 2x4x4 - 12x2x10 for free and have more they want to give us along with tin that we need to pick up and and some other building supplies. Dh has a friend who is a single dad and the school told him his kids had to go online only and they refused to work with him so he cant go to work because he has no family near by to help with the kids. Dh and i are talking about me watching them during the day so he can go to work and the kids can go to school online here or be schooled by me since i already homeschool. this is more my ideal then his so its something i am thinking about and really debating and looking into. dh says he not against the ideal but he also not saying i need to do it or i should. he wants to talk to his friend first. the kids are very well behaved for the most part after all they are kids and they do get along with mine and respond well to me so its a thought. with my current work load i am very well aware this might not go so well. so i might try it for a few days and see but for not its just talk. i been working on christmas presents as well i need to order some more things until then not much i can do that wise

Yes, you are a busy woman, but you have a big heart. I think I can see which way this might be going.

 

[thistlebloom]

Wow. That would be a great thing for the kids and their dad, but will definitely increase your workload.
I second Bay, you have a very big generous heart! And way more energy than anybody I know.

Guys i know what I said about the heat. I just want to say.... Thank You God for the cool front!!! Today's high is 76 It's a party outside kind of day unforantly its all kinds of muddy right this minute and it's still raining some. The lows are 63 however the current temp is 58.. rest of the week is in th 80s so that's awesome.
That's odd for us to have a cool front so soon.

How old are these kids? And do they know if Dad doesn't work, Dad doesn't get paid? And that if Dad doesn't get paid they don't have any food and maybe no home?
