Worn Out

I'm tired, not just physically but mentally.  Maybe more mentally.  I get like this sometimes, and when I do I often decide on a week when we aren't doing formal school.  We are doing formal school THIS week, but maybe next week?

We will see.

The three littles have been struggling to get along.  There has been a lot of screaming and howling and yes, tantrums.

There are little nit picky wearying things. Like the 1098-T.  This is a tax form for college and for some reason, Clark State doesn't have Lydia's form online. Why?  Just why?  We need it.  So now we have to have Lydia go to the cashier's office and fuss around to get hold of it.

Life is tiring in this modern day, isn't it?  And also easy in some ways. Our middle kids are watching an awesome show called Wartime Farm, which is a documentary about farming in Britain during WWII.  The rationing, the need to wash clothing by hand or with simple washing machines, wow.  They worked very very hard in those days.

There are about a million things going on at any given time.  That is fine. That is good.  But I do need God's wisdom about what to spend limited time on, and what to let go right now.

Here is some fabulous news: our neighbor had a baby boy last week!  He was a big, bonny boy.  We are so happy for them!  They are now up to 8 kids, which is quite respectable :-).

Ok, enough for now.  Many children are running around right now.
