Forward: I tried to post this at about 5 am but Joeueser was not cooperating, so imagine yourself with your morning coffee or whatever, bleary-eyed and just starting your day.... Sometime before 4:30 this morning, (I don't know when because I refused to open my eyes), I was awakened by the sounds of my daughter Maddy and her friend Sophia laughing. I pr

So I woke up and realized that with HWs recent departure that I forgot that payday was on Friday...I was supposed to pay bills! EEEKKK!

But -- and here's the point where I commend her -- she did it after carefully weighing the options. Too many parents just choose one option or the other, without really thinking it through. I believe that parents need to prayerfully consider how to raise their kids, and ultimately, decide what is best. Which is what I see Angela doing in the article.
