Sabbath

So today was suppose to be my "Sabbath".  You know, the one day a week that you take off time from work to rest & spend time with God.  I have to admit that I didn't spend time with God, I'm sorry Lord.  The last thing I want to do is grieve my "Big Sugar Daddy".  (That's what I like to call the Heavenly Father & I don't tell very many people cause I don't want them to think I'm korny, or worse - crazy. Now you know!)  Anyways, I also didn't take very much time off from work.  I had about 100 papers to grade & lesson plans to make for next week.  Homeschooling is so fun, I say sarcastically.  It definitely has its perks, but anyone who thinks that it is easy has lost their ever-lovin mind!  Most weeks I feel as if I'm working 2 full-time jobs.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not disappointed with my life and my choices.  I know that we as a family have made the right choice to homeschool & God has confirmed it many times.  I just wish I could change jobs every once in a while.  You know, get out in the public & talk to people, have someone else listen to my advice & be grateful for it, prove to my kids that I'm not just a stay-at-home mom that doesn't know anything.  I'm actually a very interesting woman.  I have a lot to offer other people.  But, right now in this time, God wants me to offer it to my boys.  If they would just take the offer, they might find things work out much better!  That's ok and I will do my best & keep trying.  Maybe next week I will be able to take a real Sabbath.  Again, sorry Sugar Daddy, I will try better tomorrow to spend time with you & listen to whatever You want to tell me.
