Mattyisms

I'm just rockin' through "Great Expectations". I'm almost done at a booming 50 pages per day. Yikes!

Anyhoo, this is what's amusing me today:

Matty: "Can I hold Katie? I gave her my hiccups."

Ohh, something that has put me a bit behind on reading is the arrival of my new...

drum roll... please...

iPod Touch!!!

So much fun. So far I've put on iMissal, some music and a grocery app. The app store is just like the proverbial candy store, and I'm trying to be prudent in my purchases.

Something that should be helping my reading schedule is this ugly bug that's sweeping the bigger people in our house and the fact our van is un-driveable.

Tomorrow we are implementing a new schedule for school and life. I have great hopes for a rhythm in our home.

God Answers All Prayers

It has been a crazy time.  Good but truly insane.  Our schedule looks like this of late: Monday - swimming, home, me back to town for a meeting; Tuesday - riding, soccer; Wednesday - swimming, soccer; Thursday - speech, soccer.  Each of these days involve two trips to town.  The weekends are equally loaded and until today we've been doing school.  So I have felt a bit like a tired, waddling yo-yo.  One day recently found me whining, (ahem) praying to God, "Oh Please can't we just have one week at home".  So I came home from Ignatian Retreat to find my two oldest children spotted with suspicious red spots.  God is good and I'm grateful for His "Yes".  I just need to remember to be a bit more careful how I pray in the future.
