Prayer Request

for those of you who know me personally, you know I can do some talking, just as I can do some typing.
I've been debating on whether to even mention this but I feel like I need some prayer for this matter. I've struggling with for a little while now.
Last year Carson went to kindergarten at Calvary and what a year. A year I will NEVER forget, so many memories. And to be honest, the plan was for him to go on to first grade this year until around March. At his parent/teacher conference, his teacher asked me if I had considered holding him back, which I had not although I knew he was one of the younger kids in his class. After more talking, praying, talking with other moms of boys, other moms who had made the same decision we decided it wasn't a bad idea. Somewhere in that decision, the thought of homeshcooling came up, which I had never thought of or considered before. This was so hard for me. I wanted to know without a doubt I was doing the right thing. God is amazing and I had to pray myself up for so many things. Example, calling the school to tell them he would not be coming, picking the right cirriculum for us, having to hear everyone else's opinion, etc. God showed me so many times over and over at the beginning I had done the right thing, in books we read, in topics we studied, in conversations we had, in fun things we did, it was obvious. And so, MY plan was, I'll do this, this one year and then send him to public school. We'll, low and behold the year is coming to an end and what in the world is going on???? I have NO idea what direction we are suppose to take for next year. I'm praying that God will be so obvious to me again, that I will completely trust him in this, and that my eyes will be open to every sign he sends me to make the right decision. I want my children to learn as much as they can and to be in the right place. And I can honestly say, often times I doubt myself that I can be the "teacher" they need to teach them those things, and if I can, how long can I? So, without a clear answer, I would like to ask, especially you homeschool mom's, that when you are praying for specific things that you would pray for me, that we will be able to make this decision, knowing it's God's plan for our family (and not just MY plan), whether it be to continue homeschooling or go on to public school.

Random things...

I guess for some reason I think I have to have pictures to post to add a post..... but I don't so I thought, I'd just write.
Lots of surgeries have been taking place at our house recently and we still have one to go. Vince has had surgery on both eyes now, hoping that he would not have to wear glasses anymore or contacts, which has not been the case. But his vision is better. He was off work for 4 days with each surgery, but is back, has some temp. glasses and is doing good.
Today, Carson had oral surgery to remove his extra tooth. Thank you Dr. Chrisman!! He was such a trooper and I was so proud of him. I had the day all planned out to handle it all by myself... I would wake Emilia up and try to let Carson sleep until right before we left, feed her breakfast, so he wouldn't have to watch or smell, since he couldn't have any, get her dressed, then get him up, brush his teeth, get him dressed and out the door. All that went as planned. Then I'd take her to school, take him to get his allergy shot and then we'd go on to the oral surgery clinic, maybe a little early, all still going as planned. Vince didn't think he'd be able to get off or leave so early in the am but wasn't sure, so I had just decided I'd be there alone. We did get to the clinic a little early, signed consent forms and were soon called back. They got Carson all situated in a chair, and talked him in to wearing the little gas mask. About that time, the assistant said we had a visitor,,,, guess who.... it was Daddy and were we happy to see him. Vince had been able to leave the hospital to come over for a little bit. He was there when Dr. Chrisman started Carson's IV and until he got sleepy. Then we went to the waiting room to wait.... and my sweet mom showed up. She thought I was going to be by myself and wanted to be there with me, if I was. So we all stayed until Carson's surgery was complete and then we all went to the Recovery room to wait with him. Precious was not the word. I wished so bad I had had my camera. He was laid up in a recliner, leaned back, IV in arm, BP cuff on other, licking his lips, eyes jerking from the ketamine and continuously winking at me!!!! I love this little boy!!!!!! When he finally could talk, he looked right at me and said, "mama, why do you have four eyes?" All I could do was laugh. Vince was able to carry him to the van for us and get him all situated and then it was to Shipley's for lemon filled donuts (his favorite) and donut holes. Nannie picked Emilia up from school and they hung out in Tupelo for a while and Carson and I headed home. He laid on the couch for a little while and then got up to use the bathroom. After that, he was good to go, playing games on the computer and then outside. He's a great patient. Now we have his surgery at Lebonheur next Friday and hopefully we're done!!
