Experiment

I took a part time job. I cannot express the degree to which I wholeheartedly believe being a SAHM is more than enough work for anyone. This afternoon I have taken a break. I think I will make play-doh for the kids. Trying to do more stuff like that. When you have a lot to do, it's hard to know when/if to take a break. Oh, our dryer broke, and we have to figure out whether to spend a few hundred to get it fixed, or spend a few hundred more and get a new one.

I can't wait for this heat to go away. It is so hard to deal with. Can't get outside with the kids and tired of staying in. Summer, you're on notice!

So I have a lot going on and not a lot to sustain me. The only thing, really, is the joy of the Lord, which comes from being in His presence. Making it out of bed in the morning to spend time with him is the challenge. It means cutting back on other things. Sometimes I wonder in doing this if I am anti-social. Social networking drives me nuts and that's partly why I don't do it. I hope this is not bad for my kids. Ugh.
