AKA: Focus Face

Name:
Location: Metro Atlanta, Georgia, United States

I am a crazy busy Mom. I have started this blog because it looks FUN. I named it jankinaround. Let me explain....when I was in college I picked up this term. It means"just having fun, being silly,etc.." ( example: I'm here just jankin around, playing with my new blog! ) I have a fun husband of 19 years and 2 great kids. I have been on a music ministry staff for 14 years directing the youth choir! About me: I get focused very easily, If I had a motto it would be "Work hard,play hard." My life verse is Micah 6:8 ( ...And what does the Lord require of you?To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.) I like to have fun with my girlfriends ( okay - when I get focused they call it FOCUS FACE -- thankfully they love me anyway...) , I am sometimes reclusive when I get too busy, I am ALWAYS for the "underdog!" I LOVE Mexican Food.I have a new business with my very cool and fun partner -- my husband! We own a tutoring franchise and run it together. It is called CLUB Z! We are excited about this new adventure!! I am blessed to be a child of God -- that is the most important fact about me!

Never say "Never!"

Yes. I have said it - we have all said it. I always said " There are 3 things I will never do!"
1. Drive a van
2. Homeschool ( ok - I was uninformed at the time...)
3. Can't put this one down in print - but I have not done this one!!!

Well...I have done the first two - the third - I don't think I'll venture into a discussion of that.

I am going back to #2 -John and I have decided to homeschool our son this year. We home schooled for 4th and 5th grades and he did great!! He really is excited, as he knew our other choice was a school that is quite a distance away. I went to a homeschool fair yesterday - can you say OVERWHELMING?? I was able to accomplish what I set out to do. I feel great about our choice, but I realize that I am going to have to be super organized. ( :

I hope that I can "hook up" with some other HS homeschool Moms. I think it is going to be a great year, and I am excited now that the decision has been made and the books are purchased. Now that I have a plan, I can go with it.

It is a blessing to have children. I am thankful to so many other Moms who have been great roll models to me -- starting with my own Mom, Mema ( my grandmother), and all my friends who amaze me with the dedication to their families! Thanks, girls!!

Awesome! I bet he was excited. And you know you have got a plethora of Super HS Moms out there....not that you need it, since you've already done it.

Praying for sure.

You are my hero. I think homeschooling is the hardest. But if there is anyone who can do it....that would happen to be You. Also, I know what #3 is too.....

Yeah, I know about # 3 myself, but wasn't going to say anything, until I saw that Michelle did!
