Can you see the Hankie Flying

I told my hubby that I was going to find me a big white hankie to put into my Bible. This is to be used like those bid foam fingers at sporting events. I want to cheer for my GOD!!
Why are you cheering you may ask. Let me tell you:

A miracle has happened the last few weeks of school at our house. We have been making breakthrough after breakthrough and things are beginning to harmonious. Today before lunch at 12:05 my boys had all but one subject for Philip and one and a half for Silas. This is a miracle you say... WEll a few weeks ago we were doing school all day long with only breaks for meals and then doing "homework" all weekend to boot.
Did you lessen the load? NO
Did you start getting up earlier? NO
Did you put each child back a grade? NO

What did you do then??
We started to not let things slide. No putting off until tomorrow work assigned for today.
I started to set right next to Silas when we did subjects that we were struggling with...
We asked advice of all our homeschool friends. Then the final glorious step.
We instituted the Bible principle that John Smith used to help the pilgrims.
"You don't work....You don't eat!" 2 Thes. 3:10

OK now take a deep breath and don't look at me as I am starving my children. WE are on day two of this new rule. Yesterday all my children(minus the sleeping infant) were at the table eating lunch at 12:00 with only three things left to do of school after lunch. Today they were at the table at 12:05(took me a few extra minutes to finish up lunch). And to complete the miracle we were done with school both the boys and the girls(they do afternoon Pre-school a few days a week) by 2:00 P.M. And to set the mind whirling we have been taking a 15 minute break in the morning and added more work as we prepare for Novel Writing Month

So just envision my pretty white hankie I got from my Grandma Green flying through the air as I take a victory lap and PRAIZE GOD!!
