starting back

Well 2008 is come and gone. It will soon be a distant memory. I heard some one say the other day, "Where did the year go?" I feel the same way. We started school back on Monday. Sunday night I told David that for the first time I was dreading starting back to school. On Monday I told the Lord to take away my bad attitude. So far this week has gone reasonably well. I think the kids were ready to start again. They were getting bored. I think the reason why my kids were so bored is because of the rain. They have not been outside like they are used to. I personally have thanked the Lord for giving us all this rain. The news said that December was the wettest month since May 2003. For five years we have been in a drought. Call me crazy but I will not let the Lord hear me complaining about the rain. David will be starting back to school next Thursday. This semester all of the child raising will be on me. David has school five nights a week. He is taking a full load. Next week Maggie will be starting ballet and tap again. I have decided not to let Maggie's physical therapy run my life. Do not get me wrong I do think it is important but I seem to overkill everything. I am so much of a perfectionist. Keep me in your prayers.

I'm a perfectionist, too, and it's a difficult characteristic! Love your blog! I deal with some of the same issues that you talked about like feeling lazy about school and needing to regroup. Also the challenge of bored kids in inclement weather!
