1Matt forgot what time it was this morning and left for morning prayer without bringing me tea. The result was five children, ok 4 children jumping up and down on my head screaming things like‘What comes after If only you would slay the wicked Oh God’and‘No I didn’t!’‘Yes you did’‘No I didn’t!’‘YES YOU DID!!!’ 2Due to my insane self directed school/chore charts, Elphine after shouting Psalm 139 to me in my sleep, undertook to practice the piano while it was...

For divine reasons unknown to me, we have to leave the house early this morning even though its not our day (Wednesday is the day we leave the house, just to go to CC and then come straight home). Matt has to go somewhere really early (like 8 o’clock) and so I and the children have to make the exhausting trip next door (its like 20 steps) for Morning Prayer which means 1. Getting dressed. 2. Getting everyone else dressed.... Read more
I’ve got a baby, a little boy, a cat and a computer all keeping me warm and making it extremely hard to even consider getting out of bed and into the cold. Really, I’ve been so looking forward to global warming and its turning out to be such a huge disappointment, at least here in New York. Instead of warming we’re daily experiencing global cooling and dimming. Alright alright, I’m not trying to start a climate change debate. I’m just... Read more
His thoughts said, What if I have not time to gather my portion? His Father said, Hast thou only one minute? Hem it with quietness. Do not spend it thinking how little time thou hast. I can give thee much in one minute. Then the son remembered the Jewish tradition about the manna and the dew. The manna fell on the dew, they said, then more dew fell on the manna so that it was found between two layers of... Read more
My voice is swallowed up in my chest and throat making my resolution to move in slow motion something I cannot avoid. Until about 10am every morning I cannot speak above a whisper and have to gesture to the children to make them do what they ought. Getting ready for church yesterday morning was blissfully quiet if slightly more complicated than usual. As I was trying to wrestle Gladys into her pink tights it occurred to me that having a...

I’ve been meaning for some days to post some other stuff I’ve been reading, and now is the critical moment because I’m Exhausted from partying all night. By partying I mean putting kids back to bed every few minutes and feeding the baby every few minutes. She appears to be having some insane growth spurt whereby she think she needs to be drinking milk All The Time. Plus she’s colicky. Someone just posted this link on facebook. Not only is... Read more
The weather says, “occasional scattered snow, accumulation around an inch”. They must be having a funny little joke together at Binghamton weather underground because its not scattering, its falling heavily out of the sky and its accumulating a lot more than an inch. I could go on from here and make this post about how much I hate the weather and how I intend that to be the defining essence of myself in the new year, but you would probably... Read more
Just about to start getting ready to take 3 kids for their well baby’s. They are still so sick with this wretched cold I imagine we’ll have to shortly go back for the shots they’re supposed to have today. Sigh. Anyway, here’s my sermon from Sunday. Enjoy. Read more
