Today's the first non-work day in a *long* time...

Ed's been asking when he gets his wife back, and Natha keeps asking "Why do you have to do all these work things?"

July 1st it will be calmed down again. The job I'm doing now is feast or famine, but fortunately I should get paid a regular salary regardless. We'll find out in July for sure.

Natha's been in Alabama with Nana Becky (Kazu's mom) for a week now and we're really starting to miss the kid. I couldn't listen to Video Killed the Radio Star yesterday, and we're going to call him later today and see what he's doing. We talked to him on tuesday and he told all three of us (me, Ed, and Uncle Bob) about the same bear tattoo he now has, and that he bought it for $.50. It's a grizzle bear of some sort where he's making a snarly face. We'll see it soon enough, I'm sure.

I'm about to go get my nails done and then do grocery shopping for the first time in 2 weeks. It'll be nice to have some food around here that can be used for lunch & dinner.

I realized yesterday that the reason I'm not all gung-ho about being a high school science teacher is because of the 'debate' over evolution & ID. I don't want to have to 'defend' a position against something that is not at all scientifically based - it would be too frustrating to have to worry about conforming to school board policy which usually avoids the pink elephant in the room because it's easier.

I'm sure I'll expound more later, but for now I need to be a wife and take care of some house things, like feeding people and folding laundry. :)
