I really don't understand why he doesn't like the idea of social workers in our home, since it's not like we have any privacy to begin with, anyway! We live ten steps away from our church, and with the school going on there every day, it's like it's right on top of us. If a child has an accident at school, or one of the high school girls forgets their socks for a basketball game, they ask to borrow clothes from our closets!
Our house is full of kids and people all the time - and it's not like they even always knock! Our washer & dryer are in the basement, and sometimes I'll come upstairs with a load full of laundry, and there are people waiting for me in my kitchen!
Anyway, it is something we talked about a lot last February & March, and then it kind of went downhill, so I did just ask him to pray about it and have left it alone and now it has been almost a year. I keep asking God to give me an open door to talk to him about it again, but so far, it hasn't come up. However, contract signing for next year's school year will be coming up soon, and I plan to talk to him about it then. Because when he asks me if I want to teach again, I am going to tell him that it wouldn't be my first choice, and then tell him what my first choice will be! We'll see where it goes from there, but I honestly don't think his mind has changed at all. Kathy
