Friday

Sorry I've been so slow to post again this week! It's been a tough week. We're glad to have today off after two nights of conferences. I went to class Monday and Wednesday night, and just did conferences on Thursday.

The toughest part of the week was some family difficulties. Maleena got very upset with us Saturday night when we tried to talk with her about some of her plans, and she packed up her things and moved out. We still don't know where she's staying. Some of the other kids are taking sides and the situation is kind of messy for now. Not fun! We are hopeful that things will heal with time.

This morning Mark and I went to the "Bed Bath & Beyond" store to shop for a new dish drainer. It's been bugging him that the one we have collects water and sometimes leaks on the counter. We ended up buying a the cadillac of all dish drainers - $70.00!  Yikes! I never thought I would spend that much money on something like a dish drainer. It seems extravagant and excessive, but we don't splurge very often, and this one really is very nice. Plus, the main thing is, it has a very good way to drain the water into the sink with a little spout.

Ha ha! I guess we'd better really enjoy watching our dishes from now on!

Anyway, we'll do some playing today, plus I have homework to do for my PSU class, and we both have papers to grade. I should be around tomorrow morning, for however your work/phoning schedule works out.

Love you!
