Happy birthday to me!

Today is my 49th birthday!! While others might be sighing and feeling down about being almost 50, I'm jumping for joy! 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with a rare, but aggressive cancer. The prognosis was not good and we all faced the possibility that I would not be here to raise our children. Well, fast forward 10 years... Here I sit with two teens in the house, two of my daughters married and our 7th grandchild on the way.

So, 49 sounds wonderful to me!!!!!!! Bring on 59 I say. LOL

God gets all the glory today from me. He was merciful to someone who deserved no mercy.

Thank you dear Father for dying for me. Thank you dear Father for loving me and allowing me to live to raise my children. Thank you for a wonderful life!

When your education pays you back!

We all hear it from our children all the time, " When am I ever going to use this?" or, "Why do we have to learn grammar?"

Well, these past few months, I have started medical transcription at my home. Suddenly, all of those years of learning spelling, grammar and punctuation has started paying off in spades! I think it's hard enough at my age to learn so much of the medical terminology and drug information, but if I had to learn spelling, grammar and punctuation, I would not be able to do my job. I would have had to quit before I started.

I am so grateful for homeschooling which has taught me far more than my children learned!! It certainly is making my transition time easier.
