Well, it is one of THOSE days again! I am totally blessed so let me just qualify my complaints here- I get that none of these things are serious problems and I promise I WON'T dwell on them!
A and K were totally unfocused(fighting over erasers, pencils,arguing over the whistling/noises K makes while concentrating, playing the piano in the middle of math time, reading on the toilet instead of doing math, etc!) with school today. I gave them the "if someone walked into our home today and heard the way you two are speaking to each other, would they know that you know Jesus" talk- while I am saying this in a very cross voice, wondering in my head if I sound like someone who knows Jesus! I followed up that lecture with the " I am not willing to homeschool if you two don't use teamwork" discussion, to which K, my seven year old boy, wistfully replied, "I would LOVE to go back to public school." Ouch.

J and Little M dumped all the toys bins in the family room, played in the BBQ (it wasn't lit), got into the fridge, etc. You would think I was totally absent, but I was actually here today- jsut not on top of everything. I guess I am feeling restless too, to be honest. I realized in the middle of the day that I hadn't had my quiet time with God this morning. Hello! If I were Him I would just want to WHACK ME! How many times does this have to happen before I GET it! Not that I have perfect days when I have my bible/prayer time, but I am more God centered, humble, and patient, which of course sets a better mood. All in all, I am more DENSE to grasp solutions to situations and spend too much time being frustrated when I forget to give my days to God. Anyhoo, there has been some good things about today and we have had some laughs.

Everyone is going to bed early, so hopefully I can sit down and enjoy the hockey play offs with my hubby later- but first I will have my quiet time! Thanks for listening, I feel better already!
