Monday–Again?
Lest you think I’ve abandoned Xanga Land, I thought I’d take a five minute chocolate chip cookie and tea break–five minutes only–to let you know how things are. First of all, my children are such a blessing to me. The house was in a state of beyond chaos. It was actually filthy as well. (Someone forgot to remove his or her shoes, cleats, or whatnot and the evidence was everywhere!) But, they rallied with me, peevish though I was, and cleaned the house well. It’s enjoyable, livable, and we can sit at the table!
Today was our last Apples of Gold, the ministry to preschool moms. God was very kind and did not tempt me beyond what I was able to bear in my irritable state by only having half of the kids show up. It went very smoothly. Easter was a delightful time at my mom’s house. What fantastic weather! Resurrection Day should always be so lovely and sunny.
This week is a wild one. We’ve got a number of things which if God brings to mind, I’d appreciate some prayers!
1. AP things–it’s the second-to-last week of class, I have grading and assigning of grades to catch up on. Plus, I’m operating under a fog of extreme embarrassment, having told the whole class (and some parents) that our reading selection was Catch-22 by KURT VONNEGUT! (I realize this doesn’t mean much to most, but it’s Joseph Heller who wrote the book…)
2. Nathan and the homeschool orchestra perform their spring concert Tuesday night. Nathan has a number of solos, so we’d appreciate prayer that he does his very best.
3. The play, Shouting Valley, is this weekend! Dress rehearsal is Thursday night, which will be the first time we’ve ever run through the whole play from start to finish. Gulp! Friday and Saturday nights at 7:00 are performance times. It should be a lot of fun, and it’s really a humorous play (after all our revisions!).
4. I go to the doctor tomorrow–that female kind. Pray that I’ll think to ask the right questions and mention all my “symptoms.”
Five minutes is up! I’m getting faster with typing.

I didn’t know Nate played an instrument.
sounds like your spring is off to a busy start. I’ll be praying for you.
actually, my mom (Annapkin) accidentally commented on your site signed in as me.
Hi TeacherPerson….so glad you didn’t abandon xangaland!
I’m so impressed that you teach AP classes. wow! Do you teach them in a co-op sort of situation or over the net? What do you teach? English Lit?
Hope your play goes well!
Wow! The last Apples of Gold already? That went fast! Thanks for all of your service to keep that ministry going. It is a great blessing to those moms who were able to be involved.
Wow!! Play time already…weren’t we just talking about auditions? That time went fast too. Break a leg!
Chocolate chip cookies and tea are simply divine! Ahh, life’s simple pleasures.
Of which xanga is one!
What instrument does Nathan play?
I bought the dress. We don’t have a sewing machine. Isn’t that scandalous? We’ll have to change that someday.
So you’re not well read in LMM? Tsk, tsk. She is my favoritest favorite author. Very wordy, but I love her that way. Most authors, (and some people would even include Montgomery) can’t get away with too much wordiness, but I love it in her books because it’s so much fuel for the imagination. She vividly describes so many beautiful moods and settings. I love it, love it, love it. If you haven’t read The Blue Castle, you must. Well, I won’t force you at gun point or anything, but it’s an awesome book.
thanks for stopping by.
so, you’re an english teacher? i want to be one eventually. what grades do you teach?
