I have discovered in the last couple of days that I miss the internet! Since our computer crashed last Friday, I have not had the freedom to sit and play on the puter all day, or read blogs or whatever. We still have a computer avaible but only when Roger is home and is not using if for work. Also I don't know any passwords or anything so I am completely reliant upon him to log me in. I have learned that I am much more productive without the puter. All of my laundry has been kept folded, my dishes done and the house in general is clean. I actually got to spend time during the day reading my book. It was peaceful. I am pushing to get the computer replaced but part of me is thinking that I really shouldn't be in a big hurry. I have been enjoying the peacefulness of it.

Chris is doing pretty good most of the time. As long as I don't actually expect him to do anything he doesn't want to do. Bobby does great when Chris is away at school. But once he gets home that is another matter. Bobby feels such hatred for Chris. Frankly I cannot blame him, afterall Chris terrized him over the last year. I know that Chris is in a better place, and that he is trying to be a friend to Bobby, I just wish that Bobby could forgive and accept the apology. We will probally always have challenges with Chris, but that is ok. I am very relieved that the boys are not fighting. It is nice that there is some peace there. I know that it will take time to heal the wounds. I pray daily for those wounds between those two wonderful blessings from God will be healed.

I feel very cranky today, just tired I think. Roger is working a lot of hours and I am not sleeping very well.

School has been a challenge for Bobby this week. Monday he turned in nothing, he did most of his math but didn't bother to turn it it in. Tuesday he did most of his work and actually turned it in. Today so far he has now turned in his math. I do except late work only on the next day and only if he has turned in the missed subject for that day's assignment. It has been since before Thanksgiving that school was really productive around here. There was a lot going on with Chris. I just wish we could get back to where we need to be. I guess it takes time to get back into good habbits.

Today is a better day. I need to look up and see the joy in this day. Please pray for our family.
