It's been a rough two months. Between the end of school, Carole's birthday party and everything else heaped on top of that... I'm just thankful that June is over with and July is halfway to history too.

I'm doing the best I can, but the year is honestly taking its toll on me. I do what's become habit for me. Up by eight, check emails and other accounts, clean, pay bills, talk to Andrew (thankfully we communicate almost every day), play WoW, make dinner, clean up again, put kids to bed, mope or WoW or watch the tele, and then try to beat bed by midnight. I've taken to reading my bible every night before I shut off my light. I'll admit the names have me confused, but I get the gist of most of it.

I do have a question though... why did the Lord keep hardening the Pharoh's heart after he would consent to letting the people go? It seems like He was punishing Egypt to prove to His people that He was all powerful. Seems a bit unfair to the Egyptians... I'm sure He had reason and it's not my place to question it.

I miss my Andrew so much lately. He's doing all right physically, but I wonder how much he doesn't tell me or let me see. It's hard for me to keep my emotions hidden from him. He can see through all my masks. I don't WANT to hide them from him, but he's in a war zone, gorram it. He shouldn't have to deal with the mess of emotions that are radiating from me. He needs to know that things here are fine - except for him not being here, they are - and that he's loved. The minions have taken to listening to my IM and calling out "there's daddy!" every time Demona says "If you are not my ally, then you are my enemy." It's reassuring, but also discourage to have to tell them when they're wrong. I love my Andrew. I can't wait for December. Hoepfully he'll be home by Christmas.

D&D sessions are ... going... well enough, I suppose. Wednesdays games are relatively productive. I need to have more for the next time I DM. I want to go to this Saturday's game, but who knows if we'll even do anything. Here's hoping.

Summer is progressing. Matt and Carole are eagerly awaiting August. I need to get school lists and go shopping the first part of August. They seriously need new pants. Shirts are fine, though a few new school shirts wouldn't hurt. They need bigger dressers. :S Speaking of which, I need to call mom about that. She knows where to find them rather quickly.

I need to get started with my writing again. I just wish my muse would cooperate. Should I push her or let her continue to sit and fester? /sigh.

Anyway, I'm going to go wandering now. I'll talk to you wonderful people later.
