it's hard to communicate when times are stressed!

Have you ever noticed that when lots of stuff is happening then it's harder to talk to your family or community around you? Maybe because I'm an introvert I retreat even farther but I think just the practicality of many items on your plate makes it hard to pick your head up and have a conversation. Besides, I'm not supposed to talk with my mouth full! So in an effort to break bad habits, take smaller bites and not get overwhelmed by the buffet I will talk.

We have 3 weeks to go before we leave. You can pray that we rent this house we're leaving. There's no penalty for us it would just be nice for the landlords and it's a great house for Regent students. The kids are having another bout of colds but they are troopers and I think that they've gotten used to Vancouver like that! Jennifer is taking more steps at Sainthood as she watches three kids, takes care of the house, pays the bills, puts the house up for rent and plans the move. I'm making a mad dash to finish papers so I can help here and get started on packing a few things at a time so the kids won't notice. When I get to Dallas, and on the drive down, I'll start to work on a few audio courses.

So there you have it. I better get back to work before my food gets cold.
