Long time, no write

Well, I TRIED to write an entry a couple of days ago, but my DEAR daughters, Shabree and Sydni, wanted to play a math game on my computer, couldn’t find it, so closed a bunch of windows in an effort to find it, resulting in the loss of the entry I had written.  I hadn’t the energy nor the inclination to re-write it. 
I’ve been REALLY busy, for the most part.  I’ve started home-schooling the kids, and really, just having them home for the summer means that I am never left alone, not for a minute.  I COULD let them watch tv all day, but Jerry wants us to prove we’ll actually DO the home schooling.  For now, I’m doing a hodge-podge of things, but mostly I’m just trying to make sure they put at least 30 minutes into each subject.  However, Syd and Bec both mess around so much most days, they drive me nuts, and it takes about 6 hours to do 3 hours of school… they’ll start something, and then they’ll start playing, or they’ll decide something else just "needs" to be done, like Sydnni will need ONE pencil, and will come down with 10 sharpened pencils 20 minutes later.  And I”m working with Bec or Shabree, so I don’t even notice… On Friday I bribed them w/ John’s Pizza, Sydni did not do so well, but I didn’t want to penalize the other two, so she ended up going… I was going to make her give up going in the pool, but she read a bunch of books at one of the scrapbook stores we went to, so I figured she got her 3 hours in.
I’ve also been in a LOT of pain.  I’ve just been cramping up.  I’m not in labor, nothing even close.  I finally called Kaiser last night, and they felt it was gas.  Gas-x and tylenol DO help… 

I’m getting really tired, so I guess I’ll go ahead and post this, short as it is… I really should get to bed, it’s so late, and I don’t typically get to sleep in much these days, and naps are like ha ha.
