• As if I even should take the time to post. Pray for this crazed woman
  with far too much to do and a family that snips at each other at every
  opportunity.

  I told the kids yesterday that they were having a lighter day of
  school, and I sat at the computer all day (with breaks for switching
  loads of laundry, taking care of  the Wilson’s dog, settling
  disputes, and fixing dinner) until 10:20 pm.  It was a long day,
  and I’m still not caught up with all my AP work.  My reward for
  the day was to change the sheets and fold laundry while listening to my
  Bible on CD.  (By the way, if you don’t have the Bible on tape or
  CD, I highly recommend getting it.  I can do so much more Bible
  “reading” with it on CD.  I can do two things at once!)

  I think the atmosphere in the home is suffering because we are never
  home due to football.  The only evening we have “free” is Friday
  night. For the last two weeks, we’ve gone to my mom’s overnight on
  Friday (for football games!), so we’ve not had an evening where we’ve
  all been home for about four weeks.  I think it is taking its toll
  on all of us.

  I have decided that I might enjoy watching Lost, so I am taping it. My
  mom bought the first season on CD, so I will borrow it sometime. 
  Perhaps after these sports seasons are over…

  The birthday month is almost upon us. My mom gave David (who will be
  13) his present early–and electric scooter.  It sparked a great
  deal of envy in a certain nine year old, but all seems to be going
  well. He has hardly had time to ride it, though, with the schedule that
  we keep.  I’ve not had a chance to take a spin yet.

  Oh, I forgot to mention that last night during supper cooking, the
  heating element burnt out in the oven–again!  I just replaced it
  less than a year ago.  So, I’ll have to replace another one.
  Thankfully, our new neighbors across the street let us borrow their
  oven to finish cooking the muffins, and the meatballs were half-done,
  so I just finished them in the microwave.   Thankfully, Libby
  did most of the supper prep yesterday, rolling and mixing the meatball
  things (porcupines–meatballs mixed with rice and topped with tomato
  sauce).  I just had to measure things and make the muffins, which
  helped me to get another essay graded.

  This afternoon, in an attempt to cheer up the snippy household, we have
  a game of Settlers of Catan planned. Of course, I don’t think we’ve
  ever played Settlers where David hasn’t fought with someone, but hope
  springs eternal, eh?

  Any good book recommendations?
