Well, Jessica and Kaitlin are putting me to shame in the blog-post-regularity arena. And that "I'll tell you tomorrow" that I posted three weeks ago? HA. HA. HA. Yeah right.

I can't promise daily posts or anything, but I will try to be more diligent about getting more posts in.

Let's see. A week or so ago, when I was originally thinking that I really really REALLY had to post, I figured I could use busy-ness as an excuse for not posting in forever. Well, not anymore. Life has really slowed down recently, and I'm not entirely sure why. Part of it might be that all my essay contest award ceremonies/competitions/luncheons have finally finished. I had one basically every week in April... one week I had three. But they're done now. And I finally mailed off my last essay of the spring... I don't have another one due until JULY (*gasp*). The deadlines tend to come in spurts - 2-4 deadlines at a time. There was one in December, one in March, and there will be another one this November. But for now, it's just school and chores and AIM. Which actually leaves time for other stuff! Actually, I've had time to get a whole week of school done in THREE DAYS! Yeah, I don't have any more school to do this week! Well, except one paper on "The Essence of Marriage." But I already pretty much know what I'm going to say, so that shouldn't take too long. Anyway.

Sometime I should post all the essay contests I've entered in the past year or so. The list is on my computer at home, and I'm at the library, which is why I'm not just posting it now. It's a pretty long list. My latest one was on the Holocaust. But I've been doing topics as diverse as Christopher Columbus, the Bill of Rights, and the Hungarian Revolution.

Jessica just came up. She agrees with my title.

I'm trying to think of wierd/funny/interesting things that have happened lately. Usually the boys provide lots of fodder, but they've been pretty ho-hum lately. Oh, here's one. Dad was coming home from work late, so we were going to wait dinner on him. I went upstairs to break the news to Andrew that we wouldn't be eating for an hour and he could have an apple while he waited. Before I could even get out the part about the apple, Andrew was throwing a fit, kicking and pushing his feet against his bedroom window. (People with little brothers, you know where this is going!) Crash! The window shattered, shards went everywhere, and Andrew was in BIG trouble. He told me today that he wishes he could rewind life like a movie, and how he would do it differently. I told him that he couldn't rewind, but he could make sure the rest of the "movie" of his life was really good. He said yeah, but he still wished he could rewind.

In other news, I've had so much time on my hands that I got the pictures from our recent Colorado ski vacation up on the website! Here's the link: http://www.teamroberts.org/pictures/skiing. Enjoy!
