well I for one am not proud at all of dad. I mean, anyone can run a hospital and make big decisions and make them well. I mean a 4 year old girl could lead a group of self-interested people into compromise, and hold a union like that together. I mean really anyone could take on the stress of "the buck stops" here with finesse (pronounced Fin Ness Say). It just happened to be dad really :).

HA

I love you dad and am SOOOO proud of you!

On another note I am looking fwd to this trip but am also a little stressed with the court date and all that. Sheesh, it'll be good for my character and all though. It appears I'm dealing w/ a lot of crap as of late that will be good for my character, that is if I don't become a eunuch ( :) ). But I'm coming out the other end I suppose.

Also, I know exactly what you mean bout the organized unorganized spurts...i think it has to do w/ human beings being creatures of addiction and yet also having globally short attention spans. (try and fig. what I mean by global).

So I love you all and until next time.

in Christ,
jason

Hi everyone,
Jeff, I loved what you said a few blogs ago about the balconey and the poles, etc. Really funny. Man was it good to have you all home. It was soooo busy, but I knew it would be. We almost need to just go on vacation to have any lengthy family time, but I think we were able to connect with each other enough to "share the love". Anywho - Jason will be leaving for a visit with Paul next Thursday. It should be a great experience for him. I would love to see the new england area myself. It will be cold though. But, a great time. Jason - just remember everything, though - like your tickets, luggage, etc.
Julie has cheered her last varsity game for the year. The boys lost last night in the sectional tournament. She has to cheer for the JV tournament game on Sat. then that will be it. Next week she starts softball.
Things are good with me. I need to get major organized again. I go through spurts of being really organized and then really unorganized. I am in the unorganized spurt right now. It's no fun.
Dad is going through some stressful times at work right now. I am truly amazed at how he is able to hold it together and the kind of job he seems to be doing. My sense is that he is very good. I think his compassion for others balances the hard core business aspect of this job and helps him be an excellent leader. You all should be proud of him. I think you are though.
Well, gotta go pay bills once again. Seems I am doing that all the time. Welcome to the business of running a household. You all take care. I love you. Mom
