We've had  a productive day around here.  We completely did school, got some laundry done, the house clean and dinner cooking.  I was satisfied.  I still have alot of cleaning left to do, but it is getting done, slowly.

I have discovered, however, that my middle children are in dire need of remedial math help.  Neither one of them knows their multiplication tables or addition/subtraction facts or how to properly mulitply or divide.  It distressed me today to watch my 13 year old son get all but 2 wrong on his math sheet.  We used Saxon up until about a month ago, and now I am trying to work on what they need help with.  But I am finding out it is everything.  Any ideas? Suggestions?  She is in 4th grade and he is in 8th.

My headaches are all but gone.  Every once in while, when I cough or bend over, I can feel the pressure.  But nothing like before.  God has truly healed my head.  Now I need Him to heal my heart.  I have such a bad attittude towards my children at times, and I'm not even sure why.  I'll be fine and then blow up at them over nothing, and then go in my room and cry because I treat them so badly.  I know the answers but it seems my emotions take over and by the time I realize what I'm doing or what I'm saying, it's too late.  I need to think before I respond.
