All work and no play

It's been a while since I posted so I figured I'd write something this morning. I've already been up since 5:30 doing homework. I'm starting to panic because I'm only on assignment 19 of 32 and my notebook is due on July 27th. It seems I have very little time these days to do anything except work. Work at my job as an application engineer, work at my job as music minister and Sunday school teacher, work on seminary assignments, work on my stupid vehicle, and work on this old house that seems to be falling down around us. All of this work is getting to me. I almost feel guilty to be taking time out to write this post!

We had an unfortunate side-effect from our Vacation Bible school last week... head lice. Yep, anytime you get a bunch of kids together from all walks of life you run the risk of being exposed to things that you normally aren't. Sadly, for all of the women in our house, they were exposed to the crawly things. It has been a total nightmare for us here all week. Shampoos, combing, hair bonnets, washing, drying, detoxing stuff... sigh. My wife is at her wits end over it all. Luckily my son and I have escaped. I guess it's because we keep our hair really short? So, things have been really rough for us this week. I'm praying that God sees fit to give us some relief soon.

Well, I've got to get off of here. The bathtub drain broke this week and I've got to spend today trying to fix it. That means crawling in a 2-foot space underneath the house, lying in nasty muddy drain water that has been pouring into the crawlspace all week long and trying to figure out how to repair it. If anyone reads this today and is good at plumbing work, come on over, I'll put you to work!
