nothing to do...

...until the kids found out. well, the speech therapist was sick yesterday and we actually were going to have the afternoon off and appt-free, but then the kids decided that it would be a perfect afternoon to school clothes shop (or alteast start this process)---so mom and twins were off to park city mall for a few hours. (i am not sure that ANY dad is ever ready to take a couple of teenager daughters to a mall-so he opted to stay home-smart man).

it is a very slow and painful process getting three kids ready for the start of another year-but i must admit it was nice getting an early start. in our school district they have "summer" homework-it involves reading a book and writing a bizarre journal sort of thing and memorizing geography and spelling and a math packet...they get tested on the second day of school...so they are working on that in their spare time-some nights it looks like we are in the middle of the school year. (friends over to study, math questions-which mom is useless at-calculators and college ruled paper and pencils and books and stuff).

tim is doing well-amist all the chaos at our house he is doing OK-it is hard for him to be home 24/7. i think that his head is spinning most of the time with all the activity around here. i try to tell him that he has to just sit back and let teens be teens...or he will go crazy trying to keep up. somedays are a tad bit stressful for everyone with so much "family time"...but we are determined to survive. we will all be glad when tim can drive and get out more and eventually get back to work (and get him away from all these women). i think the poor guy is soon in need of some "guy" time.

back to the grind again today-speech therapy this afternoon and possible a doctors appt. (we are waiting for a call back on that) . continue to keep us in your prayers. we are having some computer issues...if i disappear for a day or so, don't panic. it is very ill and may need to see a doctor or at the very least someone who knows more than me about the innerds of a computer. (which could be just about anyone).

thanks for checking in.
