I thought you would've left a long time ago. I mean, don't you have a family you want to see? No, huh? You don't have a family? Oh, you mean you don't want to see them? Oh. Ok, well, let's get started then.
So, it's almost the end of 2011. Forrest is 8. We've had kids in diapers for 8 years. But recently Rebekah transitioned the little ones to pull-ups. That's somewhat momentous, but we're still trying to finish housebreaking 3 kids. Serenity has a bit of a lazy streak, so Rebekah has been using the paddle to remind her and that has greatly improved her bladder control. Little Clell is actually doing really well. Which is bizarre because he's all boy. Of course, he has trouble pointing but so do all guys (so I hear from women). Trin is funny because she is so gung-ho. I mentioned I needed some socks and she went and found me some. That's happened more than once. Both her and Forrest really thrive by doing stuff for others--well, me.
Last weekend I spent 4.5 hours rerouting our kitchen sink plumbing. Our house is weird because instead of one main line that everything taps into, there are lines for almost ever drain running to the septic tank. Our old 1.5" kitchen sink had been invaded by rust and tree roots so it would plug at the drop of a hat. Or at the drop of some pasta down the garbage disposal. Anyway, I have more work to do but sickness has laid me low. The whole family has been sick, but so far Rebekah and I have been hit hardest.
I've been working a lot. Almost every day. Sometimes late at night or early in the morning. Frustrating. I'm hoping/praying for something else, but for right now this is still where God wants me.
