I’m glad you wrote all of this down. Now hand the list to your Abba!
Praying for you. Slightly envious that you’re going to Texas, the land of no home school regulations because Texans are FREE Americans by golly. . . (words of Wade Hulcy, husband of KONOS co-author, Jessica Hulcy).
Plus, I just love Texas. 🙂 God pulled me out of the desert I love and brought me to this tree-choked land of humidity, but He knew what he was doing, of course!
Way more than you wanted to know from someone you don’t even know!

You forgot to put “breathe” on your list! LOL Good luck…I said a prayer for you!

I hope the move goes well for you–and I somewhat enviously second the cheers for Texas, a place I’ve never been but where some of our best homeschooling friends (and assorted other interesting critters) live. (new motto should be The Homeschool State?)
Ami says
Post a list of homeschool curriculum you want to sell. As a first-year homeschooling mom, I know I would be interested!
"My Little Wonders" says
Whew…I’m tired just reading the list and imagineing you on the, go go go…..keep up the good work.

Still praying for you, sweetie! Happy moving tomorrow. You’ll once again be an official Texas resident! WOO HOO! And just think – no more Arkansas testing! 😀
Heather says
Thanks Mrs. 🙂
Jamin – thanks for the reminder! It has been a crazy week.
Mama Squirrel – Thank you! 🙂 Come on down to TX and I’ll hook you up with a personal tour. Yes, it is nice homeschooling in TX.
Ami – I have a list via email if you want me to send it to you. Just email me! I just sent it off to my homeschool sale email list.
My Little Wonders – 🙂 Thanks for the comment… yes, I wish I could take a B12 shot. I’m already tired and it is 6:45pm (and I have to pack until 1:00am and my mom and a friend’s husband won’t get here until 2 or 3)… then tomorrow is moving day!
Bunny Trails – 🙂 NO MORE AR TESTING! 😉 Hey – I don’t mind the testing so much. My problem is the govt. in my business. I test my kids anyway – in TX… but I do it in the comfort of my own home, for free!
Laura says
It looks like your getting most of it finished. I admire your organization.
Training Hearts says
Wow…that sure is a lot. I don’t envy all those boxes.
Jocelyn says
Hello!
I’m so praying for you and that everything goes well. I hope you get your list completed and checked off! If I could, I would be helping you this minute!
God bless you and may He give you peace of mind as you busy yourself with packing!!
Love as always,
Jocelyn
Bev says
