It must have been quite a week if I haven't posted since Wednesday! The next two weeks follows pretty much what this past week has held. I have been working on a couple of extra projects at work. Preparing Year 6's for their graduation night and organising transition/social story books for students coming in next year has taken much of my time during the day. At home, the regular hum drum of end-of-the-week happenings have had us running all over the place.
In the midst of it all, the fridge has decided it doesn't need the defrosting element any more. Of course, we know it does because when that little part goes on the blink the fridge doesn't work very well. The man came to have a look on Friday and said he'll be back on Monday (or Tuesday!!!!!) to replace the part. We've been instructed to turn the fridge off tonight, so that the ice build up in some hidden place defrosts before he arrives. I hope he comes on Monday. More than that, I hope he fixes the thing and that it lasts another four years, at least. That's not asking too much is it?

I came across a new blog yesterday, thanks to Joy from The Stay at Home Missionary. The three women who post at Courageous Homekeeping provide some really thought provoking posts from a deeply faith-filled perspective. Kristi has bravely tackled the subject of Attachment Parenting and whether or not it is a sin to work outside the home. In both cases I kind of held my breath. The Attachment Parenting post began and I thought "where's the 'but'...". It didn't come. Kristi's perspective on the subject is almost identical to mine, only she does a far more eloquent job of stating her views than I would have at the stage, when I was at home with Preschoolers. I was relieved! Even moreso, I was relieved when she came to the conclusion that it is NOT a sin for mothers to work outside the home. I was beginning to like Kristi and was scared my appreciation for her wisdom was about to prove misplaced. But no, she wisely indicates that on this subject a mother must seek God and know her motivation. It appears that Courageous Homekeeping is a fairly new site, and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes from them in the future.

I'll have to read the post about attachment parenting. I have mixed feelings about it, though we practiced some of it when the boys were babies.

It was a very thoughtful, respectful article. Well worth a read.
