Life as a house

Today is gonna be a packed day. Now that the kids (and Dad) have had their cereal, the laundry is started, and the dishes are done, it's time to go run some errands. We have to go to Costco to get some household supplies and dog food. This afternoon, I plan to visit Pflugerville ISD and Round Rock ISD to sign up as a substitute teacher there. I'm still waiting on my transcript from ACU to sign up with Austin ISD. Leander ISD has a sign-up day on Thursday morning. I also talked to Brentwood Christian School and they are sending me an application packet in the mail.

On Friday, I'm going to the Supercuts training center to be a hair model for them. In other words, I'm gonna be a guinea pig for them to show prospectives how to cut hair. But hey, I get a free haircut out of the deal, so it all works out.

Caleb and I were wrestling on the trampoline yesterday and we accidently broke my watchband. So, that reminds me that today, I have to shop for a new band, too.

Well, Dina is starting to feel better, but I'm still trying to take the bulk of the household tasks off of her shoulders. I've got the kids picking up the living room right now. I guess I should go take a shower and get ready for the rest of the day.

Sick House

Well, I'm only posting, because my wife posted to hers and she's making me look bad. Heh. I can't think of much to write. I think I need to get over the feeling that I have to write some long intellectual thing to post. I haven't blogged in quite a while, as I just didn't think I had a lot to say. Well, this entry is to change that.

This last week has been slow, as Dina and most of the kids were sick. Dina had strep throat and the kids had the stomach bug. I have mostly hung around the house and taken care of things here. Just when everyone was getting well, Dina got hit hard by the stomach bug last night. So, we're back to Dad cooking again. Fun! More hot dogs, coming up! Good thing our kids are little, or they might rebel.

On the job front, I was in the running for a Youth Ministry job earlier this month, but I didn't get the offer. I am still sending out resumés and trying to discover what God has planned for us. I'm going to the different school districts tomorrow to sign up as a substitute teacher (something I did in Grad School). My friend in Illinois is still trying to get me an interview at State Farm there. But, that would require a move. Who knows? I sure wish things would work out one way or another soon as money is tight again.

Lastly, I'm going to audit an Intro To Hebrew class at Austin Graduate School of Theology this Fall. It starts next Tuesday. I missed Hebrew in all of my college work, so I figured it would be good to get a foundation.

OK, well, that's all for now. Gotta go make some hot dogs...
