Twice in One Week?

Can you believe it? Two blogs in a week. Whatever can have gotten into me?

Just had a few words and thoughts...

What is the deal with the gas prices? I realize that the refineries are shutting down, but the gas that we are buying now was already refined before this, so why is it costing us more now? Supply and demand is one thing, but price gouging is another, right?

How are we going to afford to eat and continue to work if the price of gas doesn't come down below $4.00/gal? If the price stays up over $4, if will take a lot of the take home pay to buy the gas to get to work to make the money to buy the gas... you get the picture. It's ridiculous.

Tomorrow is a full day of band related stuff. At 2:00 is the County Fair Parade through the center of town. Yippee!! Followed by the Night of Bands at the city High School from 6:00 until everyone has performed. Another great big yippee!! What more can you ask for? Heat, candy bounced off of the street and marching bands for 4 hours. You're jealous I know...

I mad Little mad when I picked her up from school. Undoubtedly I was an extremely mean and unfit mother because I wouldn't agree to her plan...to go to Wal-Mart. On a Friday, when there is a run on gas for your car? I don't think so!!

I think I will stop ranting about the little things and just relax. Breathe, breathe, OHMMMMM.......

It's Been Such a Long Time

Hello again. I know it's bad when you quote 80's song titles as the title to a post, but sometimes they say it all. I can't even say I have been extremely busy, and haven't had time to post. I've just been lazy.

The kids are back in school and have a mixed opinion on it. Some days they like it, some days they tolerate it. Big just got to go back to school after yet another round of strep-throat. Little has had some ick and yuck that makes her cranky. Both are now on antibiotics so maybe the end is near.

Hubby is preparing for his trip to India/Nepal and is doing a fine job. Even if some days he is too serious about everything that is said and done around the house! He's walking and drinking lots of water and eating lots of rice...lots of rice. I think he will be fine.

I am trying to be supportive and helpful, but when your husband is going into a country not known for their favorable feelings toward Christians and is going to be traveling for 12 days in said country, it can be troublesome to sit and think about. I'm proud that God has given him this opportunity, but I don't have to like it.(Yes, I am SUCH a grown-up:})

Not much else noteworthy going on in our small chunk of the world, so I will go. Leave a comment so I know you are reading!!
