I just reread my post for dec. 6.  Wow, so much has happened since then.  I thought I was busy when life was somewhat normal.  Well, I thought I'd add this at the top of my post.  I'm sorry if my posts have been boring lately.  :(

Please pray for us.  We are just too busy right now.  My husband and I have spent most evening this week trying to fix my mom's computer.  Last night when my husband was on the phone with my brother and I think almost had it fixed, the my mom's house had a brown out.  Which means the lights dimmed and the computer went to low power.  So we turned everything off except the computer when was finishing a download and then turned it off when that was done.  But we had to go home because it was late and there wasn't anything we could do anyway.  We said we would be back tonight.  But this morning we realized my husband has to get ready for a archery event for the homeschool group which is tomorrow.  On top of that he is in charge of scouting for food tomorrow morning and our kids have soccer games. 

Next week is my brother's wedding so we were supposed to get my mom's bookkeeping caught up so we don't have to mess with it next week.  But we are at our wits end and my husband is frustrated because he is working so much and feeling not much appreciation from my mom and brother.  Mom doesn't understand computers and doesn't understand why this is taking so long.  On top of that the computer problems showed up after she was using the computer so she is blaming her self for us losing a whole week of work.  Work which we can usually do in one evening when the computer is working.

Well, I'm rambling.  Please pray for our family.  It has been a tough winter.  And now that life is back to "normal"  we have extra things on our plate that were not expected and we all are very stressed.  But on a good note, school is going well and I'm keeping up with the housework, except for laundry.  I think I'm just going to have to make a trip to the laundry mat so I can get caught up there too.
