Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

) and interesting. I'm sort of flailing with science (don't flog me, MacBeth). I feel as though I *have* to follow *something* because I have just too many kids to keep motivated. I am homeschooling 5 of our 7 kids now. Yikes! Between ensuring that the older ones get enough of my time and the younger ones are taught to read and write and simple math I am not doing very well when it comes to the not-so-extra curricular stuff (I'm talking about science and history, mainly). And to boot, this is a Sacrament year, so I'm pouring on the catechism. 
We don't even get outside much since when I'm not working with the kids, I'm working on putting the house back together (we moved here from overseas in July ... at least that's my excuse this year 
).
You don't know how relieved that makes me feel! Honestly, I feel like we've been spinning our wheels with *all* of school ever since shortly before my last baby was born, which was last YEAR. 
The kids seem to go through the motions and I don't feel I've the time to really devote to it since I'm constantly shifting things around the house trying to find places for everything. My oldest doesn't even like to spend a whole lot of *constructive* time with the family. 
That'd be terrible.
