Short Circuiting

Well, don't you think it's about time I gave a little update or something? Last year at this time I had to post more regularly because everyone was wondering when "the baby" was going to come. This summer I haven't seemed to find time to sit long enough to type and my brain hasn't had enough quiet moments to process anything and the little snippets and blessings that happen throughout my day are stored improperly in my mind and are, therefore, irretrievable even when I do have a quiet minute to sit and type. But we're all okay. Whew!

We (the kids and I) got back late (10:30) last night from a 3 day Classical Conversations practicum. (We left Monday morning at 5am!) More on that later, but suffice to say that my brain is on overload. I'm excited about the program and eager to get started. . . but I've also had my tearful moments of exhaustion and feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of classically educating our children at home.

And home. . . the lights aren't working properly (did I mention that before?). The roof is leaking. The copier is out of order. I need to mow the lawn and work in the garden. (Hallelujah! Even after being gone another 3 days I still have a garden with peas and beans, herbs and tomatoes!) It seems a bit like everything is going fritzy on me. Is there a way to take the current down a notch?!
