I should have been working….

I have discovered that spending a couple hours in my classroom every weekend tends to ease my Monday morning jitters and “I don’t want to go to work” blues.  I had PLENTY of time to go up and REALLY work in my room this weekend due to having Good Friday free!   And I certainly [...]

The good….

My previous post was about my feelings. Not always good but it is what I got. But here are a few snapshots of the good here at the Knightly Manor since Christmas…. Mr. Knight!  On December 28, we celebrated 15 years of marriage.  Being his wife is DEFINITELY a JOY in my life.  It is [...]

Been a while….

Blogging obviously has not been too high on my priority list lately.  To be honest, I have been trying to keep my head above water.  Many HAPPY and great things are a part of my life but balancing the mundane and the things of most importance (family) has got me in quite a doozy of [...]

I had 7 insightful thoughts…..

during church of course.  But now that I have plopped down to write, I have NOTHING. I do have a thousand tidbits floating around in my brain. I would be happy to share. A few happy moments have been found around here at the new Knightly manor this weekend.  I am pleased to report that [...]

A lot

I have a lot to chat about but because I have a lot to chat about, I don’t have a lot of time to chat about a lot. How is that for a run on sentence? School is in full swing. Kids have tons of homework and activities keeping us crazy busy. My caseload is [...]

School, house, traveling…..

Things are definitely picking up speed around here.  The first two weeks of school have gone fairly well.  Our family has had a bit of trouble getting back into the routine of school but we are slowly catching on.  7th grade is definitely a big leap as far as the work load goes but the [...]

I think I need a goal to keep blogging….

The 31 days of Praying for my Children certainly kept me on my toes with blogging.  I hate to confess that I actually did not completely finish the assignment.  I never recorded day 31!!!! Day 31 was praying for my children to have a servant’s heart. What? How on earth did I fail to fervently [...]

Hope

Well, my hope was to get this blog post written before my brain was fried. I was obviously unsuccessful in that endeavor. My prayer for my children today is hope.  I remember a college friend told me that when I used the word hope, I was actually claiming that I EXPECTED what I said to [...]

Sweetness

My son just walked by and asked, “Sweetness?  Is that the thing you are praying for us today?”  Not that I need to pray for any more of that.  We have lots of flaws but sweetness is typically in abundance here at the Knightly Manor. I was walking around the house this evening and spotted [...]

More than a list

So I have several little items to share.  Nothing major just things you probably aren’t interested in but I am!  I can’t wait to reread this blog in years to come and see what all was happening.  I treasure the life the Lord has given me.  My friend, Anna, does a Five for Friday dealy [...]
