You heard me. I had an entire week — AT HOME — ALONE.
How many wives and mothers of young children long to be able to say something like that?
This morning, I received an invite to an “all day online party”. Basically, instead of getting together, socially, with a bunch of friends and friends of friends, I just have this in my “social media calendar”, and on that day I potentially go and order, and that “host” gets the “hostess” points and gets her free gifts.

Today I listened to Acts 17 – Acts 28.
The part that stood out to me in that passage is this:
My typical kids have a mean mom, though. It’s summer time. Time for sun, dirt, bugs, fish. Time to sweat and drink lukewarm water and get sticky with homemade popsicles. NOT a time to sit and stare at a screen for hours.
I came across an article this weekend that suggested that nearly 10,000 toddlers are on medication for ADHD.
TODDLERS.
Here is the quote from the article in the New York Times:
Almost certainly, whenever we explain our choice to follow a Biblical diet, someone brings up Peter’s vision. However, this vision has nothing to do with food. In fact, Peter himself knew that. While he was having this vision, Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian regiment, had a delegation on their way to where Peter was staying. These were not Jews, and it was unlawful for a Jew to “keep company with” someone who was not Jewish. However, these men explained that an angel of the Lord told Cornelius to send for Peter. So, he put the men up for the night, and the next day went with them to see Cornelius.

What do you think he did wrong? Why was he killed by God?
But now I’m happy! I wish there was a way to keep this theme, but it’s old and not “hip” technologically speaking. But I’ll enjoy it while it’s here for the next several months.
That is, until this week.
Sigh.
I don’t know if he has spring fever or what. I just know that this week has been horrible – he punched a boy (who was bullying him) in the eye- twice because the kid punched him back and then it was ON, he was removed from the classroom twice, he’s had two full days where he refused to work at all…
